We’re looking for a Channel Partner Manager – Australia to help us grow Sleek’s presence in the Australian market through strong, high-performing partnerships.

This role is focused on finding, building and growing channel partnerships that can consistently bring new customers to Sleek. You’ll own the partner journey from identifying the right opportunities and pitching the value proposition through to negotiating agreements and working with our Sales and Marketing teams to make the partnerships successful.

• 3+ years of hunter-profile experience in SMB business development, corporate sales, or outbound partnerships within a fast-paced Fintech, SaaS, or tech startup environment.
• Proven track record of quota carrying or consistently hitting aggressive targets for net-new partner acquisition and revenue generation.
• Deep acquisition-based experience unlocking SMB or mid-market customer segments through channels, alliances, and indirect distribution models.
• An active, established rolodex of contacts across Australia’s SME hubs, accelerators, local Fintech circles, and eCommerce networks to leverage on Day 1.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to pitch complex value propositions, handle objections, and close deals autonomously. A pre-existing network extending across the wider ANZ region is highly preferred.
  

Grow Sleek’s customer base in Australia by building and activating a strong network of channel partners across the fintech, SaaS, eCommerce and broader SME ecosystem.

You’ll be a hands-on hunter who is comfortable opening doors, building relationships from scratch, negotiating commercially and turning partnerships into a consistent acquisition channel.

• Identify and approach high-potential channel partners across Australia.
• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of prospective partners.
• Develop relationships across fintech, SaaS, eCommerce, accounting, SME and technology ecosystems.

• Own the relationship with partners from initial outreach through onboarding and ongoing growth.
• Work closely with partners to identify opportunities to increase customer referrals and conversions.
• Build partnerships that can scale over time rather than one-off referral arrangements.

• Lead commercial conversations and negotiate partnership terms that work for both Sleek and the partners.
• Clearly communicate Sleek’s value proposition and handle objections confidently.

• Work closely with Sales and Marketing to activate new partners quickly.
• Make sure partners understand Sleek’s offering, target customers and how to generate quality leads.
• Monitor performance, customer acquisition and ROI across the channel.
