  • Maintain foundational and ongoing program implementation to partner managers while also educating on partner specific rules of engagement for internal sales reps.


  • Oversee and cultivate the development of direct reports, ensuring the channel enablement function is scalable and operates with peak efficiency through playing a dual role of strategist and player-coach.


  • Maintain a proactive and ongoing dialogue with our 25 - 50 top performing partners, evaluating their educational requirements, access to resources, and engagement with our marketing hub.


Qualifications:

  • Proven experience in channel enablement or similar roles, with a strong focus on MSP models.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and execute effective enablement programs.

SVP, Digital Sales
A FOCUS ON BELONGING
Building the foundation for success

To cultivate an environment where everyone can be successful, she prioritizes building a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture. “One of the first things I championed was a culture committee.

Ross Shwarts
Manager, Professional Services
CONNECTING ACROSS TEAMS
Sharing our personal and professional selves
Understanding the importance of connections, Ross Shwarts sets up weekly one-to-ones with his direct reports. “Sometimes we talk about work; sometimes we talk about ridiculous things our kids do. This time together helps me understand what is important to them personally and professionally.” To ensure his team members feel valued and heard, they regularly spend time as a group to work through problems. And when an occasional project requires long hours to complete, it doesn’t go unnoticed. “My boss will help me close out the project, then tell me to take some time to go do something fun.”

SailPoint has always enabled me to work flexible hours during weeks when I need to watch my kids or deal with things like a snowpocalypse.
