Job Summary

SoftwareOne is moving beyond traditional alliance management. We are seeking a Microsoft Co-Sell Revenue Lead to act as the operational engine between SoftwareOne’s sales force and the Microsoft field team.

Your goal is not to "manage the relationship"; it is to operationalize the partnership. You will be measured solely on your ability to generate net-new pipeline, accelerate deal velocity through partner incentives, and directly connect our sellers with their Microsoft counterparts to close joint business.

You are a revenue architect, not a relationship manager.

Role & Responsibilities

• Field-to-Field Sales Orchestration
  • Break Down Silos:Systematically map SoftwareOne account executives (AEs) to their specific counterparts at Microsoft. Ensure every key SoftwareOne AE knows exactly who to call at Microsoft for their top 20 accounts.
  • Drive "Give-to-Get" Motions:Coach SoftwareOne sellers on how to package deal intelligence to trade with Microsoft reps, ensuring our teams provide value to get value in return.
  • Joint Account Planning:Lead tactical account mapping sessions focused on immediate revenue opportunities, not general territory overviews. Identify "white space" in existing accounts where a joint SoftwareOne + Microsoft value proposition can unlock budget.

• Pipeline Execution and Deal Hygiene
  • Aggressive Deal Registration: Own the "Co-Sell" mechanics. Ensure every eligible opportunity is registered in Partner Center (Microsoft within 24 hours to secure visibility and protection.
  • Pipeline Review Rigor: Conduct bi-weekly pipeline reviews with Microsoft Partner Sales Managers (PSMs) to unblock stalled deals, not just report on them.
  • Monetize Incentives: Proactively identify deals whereMicrosoft funding (migration acceleration programs, credits, POC funding) can be injected to overcome customer budget objections and close SoftwareOne opportunities faster.

• Enablement for Revenue Outcomes
  • Sell the "Better Together" Story:Equip SoftwareOne sellers with 3-4 specific "plays" that explain why a Microsoft rep should care about SoftwareOne. (e.g., "How SoftwareOne helps the AWS rep retire their EDP quota").
  • Escalation Management:Serve as the "fixer" for friction points in the field. When a Microsoft rep is blocking a deal or engaging a competitor, you intervene to realign incentives and protect the SoftwareOne commercial interest
