Who this fits
This inside role suits someone who can balance sales operations and analytics with temporary partner and customer coverage across PSE territories. The assigned PSE keeps relationship ownership and account strategy; you work from documented plans and align material changes with the PSE or sales leadership. Engagement is primarily by phone, email and video, with limited travel possible for internal meetings, training or select events.
From the employer
The Partner Sales Representative is a hybrid role responsible for strengthening Partner sales execution through Salesforce governance, Power BI analytics, process adherence, and supplemental coverage for Partner Sales Executives (PSEs).
The role is equally divided between:
- 50% Sales Operations, Salesforce and Power BI Analytics, and Process Adherence
- 50% Inside Partner and Customer-Facing Sales Overlay
This is an inside role designed to provide consistent operational support and continuity of partner and customer engagement. The individual will have deep knowledge of Intermedia's sales processes and Partner ecosystem, serve as a sales overlay for PSEs, primarily providing coverage when representatives are on PTO, traveling, attending company events, or otherwise unavailable.
The role does not replace the assigned PSE or assume permanent ownership of partner relationships. Its purpose is to maintain responsiveness, advance active opportunities, and prevent sales activity from stalling during temporary coverage periods.

Sales Process and Operating Discipline
