  2. Work cross-functionally with sales, marketing, technical teams and leadership to align partner strategies with business goals.
  3. Lead quarterly business reviews with partners to assess progress, share best practices and define next steps.

Travel & Partner Engagement

  1. Willingness to travel across Canada to engage with partners, conduct training and attend industry events.
  2. Represent Phoenix Contact at industry conferences, trade shows and partner summits.

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

  1. Experience in business development, sales or partner program management.
  2. Proven track record of developing, launching and managing successful partner programs.
  3. Strong knowledge of the automation and/or electrical market, including PLCs, industrial networking and control systems.
  4. Experience working with solution-based sales models rather than component sales.
  5. Previous budget, forecast and sales target ownership a must.
  6. Experience using CRM systems for opportunity tracking and pipeline management.
  7. Bilingual in French and English would be an asset.
