Responsibilities
- Own and manage a portfolio of mid-tier, emerging and newly onboarded partners in France. Maintain strong, ongoing partner relationships, regular check-ins, enablement follow-ups, and joint-business planning. Track partner maturity, pipeline contribution, and performance metrics (registrations, conversions, pipeline health).
- Identify promising partners aligned with our storage, backup, and Veeam-focused ecosystem. Drive recruitment activities (outreach, qualification, onboarding, initial enablement) in coordination with the Channel Manager France and Veeam Channel teams. Ensure new partners receive appropriate training, enablement, and operational setup.
- Identify best-fit Veeam partners for ARTESCA recruitment and co-selling. Collaborate with Veeam Inside Channel Managers and ISRs to expand the shared partner base. Maintain visibility on Veeam partner activity relevant to ARTESCA positioning.

Provide ongoing support for licensing/contract queries, technical questions, and quoting processes.
- Collaborate with partners to source, register, and accelerate deal pipelines through co-selling or partner-led motions. Pre-qualify partner-led leads, support quoting/negotiation, and facilitate hand-offs to Territory Managers when needed. Monitor, forecast, and report on partner-driven pipeline and conversions.
- Act as the operational arm supporting the Channel Manager France’s strategic account and channel motions. Interface with ARTESCA Territory Managers, Field Sales, Marketing, and Sales Engineering to ensure cohesive GTM execution. Liaise with alliances (e.g., Veeam) to maximize co-sell and partner synergy potential.

Requirements
- 3–7 years of channel- or partner-facing sales experience or inside channel management (or equivalent VAR/MSP experience), preferably in software, storage, backup, or IT infrastructure.

- Proven ability to recruit, enable, and manage partners — from onboarding to revenue generation.
- Commercial mindset: able to support licensing/contracting, price positioning, deal registration, and partner negotiations.
- Excellent relationship-building and communication skills in French and English, and strong stakeholder management capabilities.
- Self-starter, organized, and structured, with the ability to manage multiple partners concurrently, track pipeline, and enforce discipline.
- Ability to collaborate across teams (sales, marketing, engineering, alliances) with strong internal coordination skills.
