About the Company:
Databerry (a Kessel Enterprises company) is an exciting, fast growing company whose clients range from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies and share a common goal: they want to make the most of their marketing dollars. Databerry provides this by delivering next-generation performance through their award-winning solution platforms which simplify the deployment of mobile applications, application management, websites and web marketing solutions on a global scale.
In addition to providing cloud-based enterprise mobility, solution platforms, and support services, Databerry also builds custom websites and mobile apps for clients that increase their productivity and enable them to promote and market their products/services effectively on any scale, be it local, national, or global.
Job Overview:
The Partnership Program Manager is responsible for the design, development, and implementation of Databerry’s Channel Partner Program, including program requirements, policies, partner benefits, partner management tools, and transaction process requirements.
Working closely with a cross-functional team of Product Management, Marketing, Sales Operations, Finance, Legal, and Technical Support/Training personnel, this individual will build and roll out a scalable program to grow Databerry’s mobile Cloud based Web Solutions sales through a newly-created Channel Partner network.
In this role, the Partner Account Manager will act as the primary contact for a portfolio of multiple Databerry partners, located throughout the US and Canada. Those partners are typical VARs and/or Managed Service Providers (MSPs). This telesales-based role covers all aspects of growing and nurturing the relationships with existing partner accounts (executive engagement, sales and technical readiness, account planning, marketing support, etc.). The Partner Account Manager is expected to drive “everything that needs to be done” in order for the partner to grow its Mobility practice with Databerry. The Partner Account Manager is the liaison between those partners and Databerry, but will rely upon many internal teams at Databerry to get the job done (technical teams, marketing teams, etc.).
The Partner Account Manager will interact daily with other key members of the Databerry team (Regional Sales Director, Channel Sales, Inside Sales, Channel Marketing, PM). A key measurement of success will be driving sales performance of the partners to reach and exceed Databerry’s revenue targets.
