- Focus on partner-driven revenue, not purely direct
What makes this interesting: \n

- Highly scalable model – one good partner = multiple revenue streams
- Blend of strategy + hands-on deal involvement
- Clear ownership of a country with autonomy to build

What they’re looking for: \n
- Experience working with MSPs, VARs, distributors, or resellers
- Background in cybersecurity, backup, DR, or cloud infrastructure
- Someone who understands how partners actually sell (not just manage them)
- Comfortable being hands-on in deals, while scaling through partners
- Commercially sharp, high ownership, and KPI-driven
- Builder mindset – not someone who needs structure handed to them
If of interest, please apply.\n
Thanks,
