🚀 Strategic Account Manager

Location: Remote
Team: Account Management
Company: Pax8 – The world's favorite Cloud Marketplace for IT professionals

Want to own a territory of high-growth MSPs and drive massive impact across a fast-scaling tech marketplace? Let’s talk.

At Pax8, we power over 40,000 Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to buy, sell, and manage cloud solutions more easily. As a Strategic Account Manager, you’ll play a high-stakes, high-impact role managing our top-tier MSP partners — the most complex, innovative, and revenue-driving accounts in the business.

This isn’t just about hitting numbers (though yes, you’ll definitely do that). It’s about long-term strategy, deep cross-functional collaboration, and being the trusted advisor that guides enterprise-level partners to next-level growth.

🧭 What You’ll Own

  • Build and lead your own strategic territory — developing high-potential MSPs into powerhouse partners.

  • Run the full sales cycle, using Pax8’s value-based methodology to align partner business goals with our marketplace offerings.

  • Recruit new strategic partners and grow existing ones — focusing on long-term business outcomes, not just short-term wins.

  • Lead QBRs and tactical meetings that go beyond check-ins — you’ll be the partner’s compass, coach, and catalyst.

  • Own your 30/60/90/180-day pipeline like a boss — forecasting with precision in SFDC and driving data-informed decisions.

  • Partner internally across Solution Consultants, Product, Vendor, Marketing, Finance, Engineering and more — this is a full-contact sport.

🔍 What You Bring to the Cloud Table

  • 8–12 years of enterprise account management (sales leadership a plus), ideally in SaaS, MSP, or cloud tech

  • Proven success leading complex deals with C-suite decision-makers and multi-product sales strategies

  • Strong command of value-based selling frameworks (Command of the Message preferred)

  • Disciplined sales ops approach: pipeline forecasting, opportunity hygiene, CRM (Salesforce) mastery

  • Executive presence that earns trust in every room — boardroom, Zoom, or breakout session

  • A competitive edge paired with a team-first mindset — you thrive on shared wins

  • Experience coaching others, giving strategic direction, and clearing the path for success

📈 What Success Looks Like

In Your First 90 Days:

By Month 6:

  • You’ve identified patterns of success (and friction) and worked cross-functionally to smooth the path

  • You're contributing insights that help shape Pax8’s strategic partner playbook

By Year 1:

  • You’ve transformed a portfolio of strategic MSPs into high-performing, deeply engaged partners

  • You’ve become a trusted leader across teams and a role model for strategic selling excellence

  • You’ve helped drive sustained territory growth — and helped shape how Pax8 scales from here

🔧 Tools & Traits That Will Help You Win Here

  • Salesforce (heavy usage expected)

  • Forecasting and funnel metrics (you’ll live in the numbers)

  • Exceptional storytelling and presentation skills
