What you'll actually do

Sales & Partner Support
Support account managers across the reseller and MSSP base — quoting, deal registration, partner onboarding, and keeping CRM records straight.
Technical & Pre-Sales
Sit in on solution demos and proof-of-concepts across our vendor portfolio, help scope assessments, and learn the products well enough to answer for them.

Licensing, renewals, vendor portals, and the reporting that keeps the distribution business running month to month.
