Smartsheet is looking for a Senior Channel Account Manager for the Asia Pacific region. The primary focus will be in Australia & New Zealand but might cover Asia Pacific as per our growing needs. You will be a quota-carrying, revenue-producing rep that recruits, onboards, and manages relationships with a defined portfolio of partners. You will manage selective new partner recruitment, engaging the partner with the Smartsheet Partner Program, and driving joint partner business planning.
