About The Position

Nasuni is looking for a Partner Sales Manager to drive Enterprise and Commercial revenue across Southern California and Arizona through our partner ecosystem. This is a quota-carrying, individual-contributor sales role working hand in hand with Nasuni’s field sellers. You will understand the territory, active pipeline, key prospects and customers, and the partner landscape—including national and regional VARs, cloud hyperscalers, systems integrators, and consultants—and use the right partners to create, expand, validate, and accelerate opportunities. This role is for an experienced partner seller who enjoys being directly involved in deals with customers, partners, and field sales teams. It is a hunter role, not primarily a partner-program or partner-administration role. You will independently own partner-sales execution across your assigned market while collaborating closely with Enterprise and Commercial sellers, Solutions Engineering, Marketing, Alliances, and Customer Success. You will determine where partner influence can create the greatest impact, prioritize relationships and opportunities, and execute regional business plans against revenue goals.

5+ years selling to and through national or regional VARs, resellers, or channel partners.

Proven experience working simultaneously with partners and customers to create and progress revenue opportunities.
Experience co-selling with at least one major cloud provider such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.
Strong pipeline, territory-planning, relationship-building, and deal-execution discipline.
Practical use of AI-enabled tools in sales workflows with appropriate validation and judgment.
Residence in Southern California or Arizona.
