Channel Sales Manager

Trimble Inc.

Title: Channel Sales Manager

Job Location: Dubai - Remote

Department: AECO - Architects, Engineer & Construction Owners

Are you an experienced Channel Sales Manager or Channel Sales Specialist in need of a new challenge?

If so, we have an exciting opportunity to join our EMEA Channel Sales team as one of our Channel Sales Managers. Focussing on the Emirates and the wider Middle East, you will be responsible for managing our Indirect Sales partners across the region as well as potentially bringing on additional Channel Partners. This is not a brand new position but it is the first headcount based in the region, so you will be responsible for growing our existing market share across multiple products, using our existing channel clients as a foundation for growth.

As one of our Channel Sales Managers, you will join a high performing team of Channel Sales professionals where you will take the lead on managing our third-party seller network. It is likely that you will take multiple Trimble products to market with one of your key products being our SketchUp 3D Design software.

You must be comfortable building excellent relationships with our reseller network in your assigned countries and ensure that they are aligned to our sales strategy and business values. You will use your sales and communication skills to work with and inspire our resellers to be the best advocates for our Trimble products.

What This Role Is

This is a complex role where you will work collaboratively with colleagues in the internal Sales Channel team, internal stakeholders in other departments as well as your external channel partners. You must have the capacity to prioritise your work and relationships to best effect. As well as having excellent channel sales knowledge you must be data driven and have the ability to analyse complex sales data to ensure that the channel sales pipeline is resilient enough to support the EMEA sales strategy. And if not, you must be proactive in developing additional channels as necessary. Because of this, Arabic language skills are a necessity in this role.
