About

Our client is a specialist technology company providing advanced software solutions to major telecommunications organisations worldwide.

As the business continues to expand across EMEA, they are looking for a commercially driven Channel Development Manager to establish and grow a new regional partner programme.

This is a hands-on channel sales role, focused on identifying, recruiting and developing strategic partners, then working directly with them to create opportunities, build pipeline and generate revenue.

Joining at an early stage, you will have significant influence over how the channel develops across EMEA, with the opportunity to build many partner relationships from the ground up.

Role & Responsibilities

As Channel Development Manager, you will take ownership of developing the regional partner network and driving measurable commercial results. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Mapping and developing the partner landscape across priority EMEA markets
  • Identifying, qualifying, recruiting and onboarding strategic partners
  • Building new partner relationships from scratch where required
  • Developing joint commercial plans, account strategies and revenue targets
  • Working with partners to create, progress and close new business opportunities
  • Supporting partner product, technical and commercial enablement
  • Conducting account mapping to identify target customers and priority opportunities
  • Building strong relationships with partner sales teams and senior leadership
  • Participating in customer meetings, presentations and commercial discussions
  • Owning and forecasting the channel-generated pipeline
  • Driving partners towards agreed sales targets and measurable revenue generation
  • Gathering market intelligence across telecommunications, infrastructure and related markets
  • Working closely with Sales, Marketing and technical teams on partner and customer opportunities

The role will involve approximately 20-40% travel across EMEA, with performance against commercial targets contributing to bonus achievement

You will be a commercially focused channel sales or business development professional with a proven ability to drive revenue through partnerships. Key requirements include:

  • Proven success developing partnerships that generate measurable pipeline and revenue
  • Experience within enterprise software, telecommunications or a related technology market
  • Strong understanding of partner recruitment, development, enablement and activation
  • Ability to identify partners with the customer access, capability and commercial potential to deliver results
  • Strong sales, commercial and negotiation skills
  • Experience working directly with partners and customers throughout the sales cycle

  • Confidence building new partner relationships and programmes from an early stage
  • Strong relationship-building and stakeholder-management skills
  • Excellent written and verbal English
  • Willingness to travel approximately 20-40% across EMEA

Experience levels are flexible, with commercial results, sales capability and partnership development experience more important than a specific number of years.
