Partner Sales Manager

We're looking for a Partner Sales Manager to join a leading employee financial wellbeing company. Their award-winning platform allows workers to access their earned pay on demand, manage their finances, and build sustainable savings habits, empowering employers to enhance employee engagement and productivity. Operating in a B2B2C model, they partner organisations across sectors such as retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and healthcare. Their client base already includes over 300 brands, including several household names. Recently acquired by one of the UK's largest payroll and HR software providers, they are now entering an exciting scale-up phase, combining the agility and culture of a startup with the backing, reach, and client access of a major enterprise. The Opportunity This is a partner-led sales role focused on driving new business through an established, high-value channel. The parent company has thousands of existing clients, with hundreds already identified as ideal targets for this solution. The groundwork has been laid, early conversions have already started, and feedback from enterprise accounts has been extremely positive. You'll focus on SME and Mid Market accounts , working alongside a team of account managers within the partner organisation. Your role is to: Identify and prioritise target accounts within the existing client base Influence and enable account managers to introduce and promote the solution Support them throughout the sales process - from meetings and demos through to onboarding Report, forecast, and manage pipeline activity accurately and proactively Typical monthly goals equate to around 2000 employees signed per month, achievable through a mix of medium and smaller deals. Many opportunities are low-hanging fruit, with short sales cycles and quick conversions, since the target clients are already happy with the existing partner relationship. You'll still handle elements of prospecting, onboarding data capture, and client engagement, but this is very much about influence, enablement, and execution through others.
