About the job

Appfire is an enterprise collaboration software company that enables teams to plan and deliver their best work. Since launching in 2005 as one of the original Atlassian ecosystem partners, Appfire has built a portfolio of top-selling apps for more than 30,000 customers — including 55% of Fortune 500 companies. As a product-led company, Appfire identifies gaps in industries serving developers and client support teams and then builds solutions that drive productivity and efficiency.

Appfire continues to grow exponentially, with teams spanning 20+ countries. We are financially strong, continuously meeting or exceeding revenue targets, and we invest heavily in strengthening the foundation of our organization. Being philanthropic is integral to operating our business, so we donate 1% of employee time, product, profit, and equity as part of our Pledge 1% commitment.

Come join our team!

Have you managed a channel business before and want to do it at a hyper-growth company in a non-sales business model? You could be a part of the team driving Appfire’s North American and LATAM business through our Partner channel.

We have a wealth of amazing partners already, but we’re adding to the team of dynamic personalities who help develop, foster, and deepen the relationships and collaborative mechanisms with our top partners through programs, enablement, consistent communication, and serving as a brand ambassador for the growing portfolio of Appfire technologies.

We are looking for an outstanding communicator who understands the global channel business and understands how to grow and manage a book of business in this region. Engaging and enabling partners is one of the main responsibilities, as is the ability to drive marketing and sales activities with your partners to increase brand awareness and Appfire product inclusion and adoption in partner projects.

This is an individual contributor role reporting to the VP of Channel and is part of a global organization, tasked with building a channel that delivers valuable services to our customers.
