Your opportunity
New Relic is undergoing a fundamental shift in how we scale through the North American channel. We are moving away from a reactive, transactional model toward a proactive, distribution-led strategy. As the sole Senior Partner Sales Manager for Distribution, you will be the primary architect of this transformation.
This is a "Builder" role. You will lead two major initiatives:
- Transforming Carahsoft from a fulfillment vehicle into a proactive demand-generation engine for the Public Sector (SLED).
- Launching Ingram Micro as our primary global distributor for North American commercial business, while migrating our "long-tail" partner ecosystem to this new model.
What you'll do
- Public Sector (SLED) Transformation: Overhaul the Carahsoft relationship. You will drive a shift in behavior, ensuring Carahsoft's sales desks are actively sourcing New Relic pipeline rather than just processing renewals.
- Ingram Micro Onboarding: Lead the end-to-end launch of Ingram Micro for NA commercial business. This includes standing up the partnership and driving enablement and sales campaigns.
- "Long-Tail" Migration: Personally manage the current high-volume of smaller North American partners while architecting the transition of their day-to-day operations over to Ingram Micro.
This role requires
- 5+ Years in Channel/Distribution Sales: Deep experience specifically with Carahsoft and/or Ingram Micro. You know how their internal sales desks are compensated and how to win "mindshare" on their floor.
- Public Sector (SLED) Expertise: You understand the nuances of US SLED procurement, contracts, and the role of a master aggregator like Carahsoft.
- Change Management DNA: You are comfortable telling partners (and internal teams) "the old way is over" and leading them through a new operational model.
- Operational Excellence: You can design a pricing sheet, draft an enablement deck, and run a QBR with equal proficiency.
Build & Execute Mentality: You can prove that you have built and executed against similar strategies and love ‘doing’ the role rather than simply ‘designing’ the strategy.
