Telecoms Partnership Manager
Are you a Telecoms Partnership Manager with recent UK telecoms experience and a history of developing strategic relationships, building indirect sales channels within the UK-telcoms ecosystem with wholesale fibre providers, MSPs, System Integrators, Resellers, Carriers, and Technology Partners? Ideally you will have over 5+ years of direct and relevant experience working for companies selling Network Connectivity (DIA, Ethernet, Fibre Broadband etc.).
First Point Group have an exciting opportunity with an established UK telecom company entering an exciting phase of growth, with ambitious plans to expand its B2B Enterprise and Wholesale business and strengthen its commercial team.
This is not your traditional Partnership Manager role where you inherit existing partnerships to manage – this is an opportunity for you to have commercial ownership of the partnership strategy for you to build and scale a revenue-generating partner ecosystem. Working closely with Senior Leadership, you will play a key role in establishing new routes to market, driving partner-led revenue and shaping the future of a growing business.
Other details: Sponsorship cannot be provided so candidates must live in the UK with valid rights to work. Full-time, permanent. Flexibility for remote/hybrid-working for the right candidate
The Opportunity
With an established fibre infrastructure footprint and ambitious commercial growth plans, the business is looking for an experienced Partnership Manager to develop its indirect sales channel and build strategic relationships across the UK technology ecosystem.
