Job Description

Join the UNDISPUTED #1 Best Place to Work!

Green Office Partner—ranked the #1 Best Place to Work by Crain’s (2023–2025) and the Chicago Sun-Times (2024 & 2025)—is hiring a Channel Sales Manager to help us scale revenue through strategic partner relationships.

We deliver HP and Xerox Managed Print Services, Intelligent Document Processing, and Conference Room/Audio-Video Solutions that help enterprises reduce costs, increase efficiency, and modernize their workplaces.

This role is for someone who thrives in a partner-led environment: you’ll nurture our partner ecosystem, drive partner-sourced pipeline, and close deals in the pipeline through consistent co-selling and enablement.


What you’ll do (Responsibilities)

Partner Nurture + Co-Selling

  • Own relationships with assigned referral and strategic partners (MSPs, IT providers, consultants, and adjacent service firms).

  • Run recurring partner touchpoints (weekly/Monthly) to review active opportunities, priorities, and next steps.

  • Lead co-selling motions: partner + GOP outreach strategy, discovery planning, meetings, proposal alignment, and closing actions.

  • Maintain partner confidence and engagement through fast follow-up, clear communication, and reliable execution.

Pipeline Ownership + Closing

  • Manage partner-sourced and partner-influenced deals from qualified opportunity to close.

  • Coordinate internal resources (sales engineering, customer success, operations, leadership) to move opportunities forward.

  • Drive urgency and accountability: mutual action plans, meeting cadence, stakeholder mapping, and close plans.

Partner Enablement + Growth

  • Onboard new partners and deliver enablement: positioning, talk tracks, ideal customer profile, qualifying questions, and handoff process.

  • Host partner trainings, lunch-and-learns, webinars, and QBR-style reviews focused on pipeline and performance.

  • Collaborate with Channel Marketing on joint campaigns (events/webinars/email/LinkedIn) to generate partner pipeline.

Deal Registration + Protection

  • Manage a structured deal registration / partner protection process to ensure clarity, fairness, and speed.

  • Ensure partners are set up to succeed and are rewarded for sourcing and supporting opportunities.

CRM & Forecasting

  • Track all partner activity, deal stages, next steps, and forecast notes in HubSpot CRM.

  • Prepare thoroughly for weekly pipeline meetings and one-on-ones with VP of Sales/Channel Leadership.


Requirements

  • 5+ years in B2B sales with strong deal-cycle ownership (mid-market/enterprise preferred).

  • Proven experience in channel sales / partner management / alliances / indirect sales, OR strong consultative sales experience with a track record of working through referral sources.

  • Confidence running discovery, stakeholder management, proposals, and close plans.

  • Experience in one or more: Managed Print Services, office technology, business services, SaaS/workflow automation, IT services, or document/process automation.

  • Strong communication skills: you can influence without authority and keep multiple parties aligned.

  • CRM discipline (HubSpot preferred).

Nice to have

  • Experience with print assessments / managed services proposals.

  • Familiarity with partner motions like MDF/joint marketing, enablement, and deal registration.


Success in this role looks like

  • Partners trust you, respond to you, and bring you into deals early.

  • Partner-sourced pipeline grows month over month.

  • Opportunities move faster: clear next steps, fewer stalls, higher close rate.

  • Partners feel protected and motivated—resulting in repeat referrals.


Benefits

  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission.

  • 401(k) with 4% match.

  • Mileage reimbursement at the IRS rate.

  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance with very low copays.

  • Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance.

  • Tuition assistance & professional development opportunities.

  • Paid vacation, sick days, and holidays.

  • Flexible work environment with a strong career advancement path.

  • Free gym membership in the building.

  • Performance bonuses and recognition opportunities.

  • Free AAA membership.

  • Paid airline lounge membership and maintain miles.

  • Company social events, free snacks & beverages, and a young, entrepreneurial culture.
