Job Description

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1100+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder led, profitable and growing.

We are hiring a Partner Sales Manager to be a key contributing team member within the growing Dell alliances organization. Large OEM or Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) brands - Dell, HPE, IBM, Lenovo, Ericsson, Cisco, Fujitsu and many more - are major partners for Canonical. These companies build software-defined solutions to capitalize on global open source mandates and associated macro trends. Canonical's flagship product, Ubuntu, and its broader open source portfolio are key ingredients for these partners to realize their aspirations. Canonical represents the best platform for rapid open source innovation.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Global Alliances - Dell, the Partner Sales Manager will work closely with Dell and Canonical teams in various geographies to enable Dell teams, generate and transact opportunities, drive a Canonical agenda within Dell, and achieve targeted results. They are responsible to build trusted relationships with Dell, increase Canonical market share and attach rate, evangelize the partnership and drive business interactions from across persona - from engineer to CxO. They will often run customer workshops focused on particular initiatives at that customer, attend sales events, give public presentations and participate in executive engagements as coordinated by the Senior Director.

  • Build strategic relationships and enable Dell teams on the partnership
  • Build pipeline and transact opportunities through Dell
  • Grow Dell's awareness of open source capabilities on Canonical Ubuntu
  • Demonstrate a deep understanding of the Linux and cloud software ecosystem
  • Deliver on targets, objectives and provide a voice of the partner
  • Travel regularly - sometimes internationally - to drive partnerships in person
  • Align and support internal canonical field teams - identify, support, grow, transact
  • Expand existing footprint with Dell customers with an aim to upsell to broader portfolio
  • Support and contribute to broader strategy, initiatives and key campaigns as defined by the Senior Director
What we are looking for in you
  • Experience in alliance or indirect sales management roles
  • Autonomous, disciplined, hands-on, get-it-done mentality
  • Ability to capture customer requirements, evaluate gaps, identify and create opportunities
  • Passionate about Ubuntu products and mission
  • Comfortable in fast-paced and high pressure environments with measurable goals
  • Experience with Linux, virtualization, containers, and other cloud technologies
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Team player with superior accountability and customer support skills
  • Credibility and working knowledge of Dell - its products, go-to-market motion, and field
  • Experience managing cross-functional teams and track record of operational excellence
  • Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events
  • Hands on experience with SalesForce.com and Google Suite a plus
