For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents.

you have shaped a partner portfolio, shifted a team orientation, or evolved a channel model around strategic outcomes, including taking a team from a volume/coverage model to a strategic/sourced-revenue model * Strong understanding of AI impact on enterprise software and partner ecosystems; you know how to position an AI platform through strategic partners and drive enterprise adoption * Strong executive presence and the ability to engage C-level and practice-level contacts at major consulting and technology firms * Deep understanding of hybrid direct + channel go-to-market models, including the economics and mechanics of partner-influenced vs. partner-sourced business * Experience with cloud marketplace transactions is strongly preferred * Track record of building and developing high-performing teams through periods of strategic change * Willingness to travel ~20% for partner and internal meetings * Proven ability to drive partner pipeline growth quickly upon joining;
