Meter

3d•$133,000 - $180,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Meter is at an inflection point. Our team has built a vertically integrated internet networking infrastructure solution across hardware, software, operations and service that makes it incredibly easy for businesses of all sizes to connect to the internet quickly and reliably. We’re on a mission to disrupt the networking industry, a space where the top 5 players have a combined valuation of over half a trillion dollars. Our vision is to evolve the internet into a utility. Now that our product team has done the hard work of building a truly disruptive product, it is time for sales to drive the company forward, and partners will be one of our biggest force multipliers in our go-to-market strategy. We’ve already seen early signs that the Channel is going to be one of our biggest levers for growth, establishing relationships with names you’ll recognize like CDW, World Wide Technology, Microsoft and more. The work in building the Channel is far from done. We are looking for someone who will accelerate the growth of Meter’s sales through the Channel in the Northwest region, by building, executing and scaling the partner ecosystem, specifically within the realm of Value-Added Resellers, or VARs.
