- Build and execute account strategies to close new business by understanding each partners business model, target customer base, tech security stack and typical sales cycle.
- Leverage your industry network, prospecting expertise, and market knowledge to create opportunities beyond inbound lead sources.
- Collaborate with Business Development, Marketing, and Partner Success teams to increase visibility and engagement within the MSP ecosystem.
- Manage all areas of the sales cycle including initial presentations, demos and structured follow up cadences that deliver value right through to contract negotiations.
- Understand each partner's business model, customer base, security offerings, and growth objectives to develop a compelling business case for partnering with Field Effect.
- Conduct quarterly business reviews and strategic planning discussions with partners.
- Maintain accurate forecasting, pipeline management, and CRM hygiene.
- Serve as an advocate for the MSP community, providing market insights and partner feedback to internal stakeholders.
Skills & Experience We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of experience in B2B software sales, with significant experience selling through MSPs.
- Demonstrated success in net-new business development and partner acquisition.
- Strong understanding of the MSP channel, including the challenges, business models, and growth drivers that shape partner success.
- Experience selling cybersecurity, managed services, SaaS, or other highly technical solutions.
- Proven ability to build pipeline through a combination of prospecting, networking, referrals, and partner-driven opportunities.
- Track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets in competitive markets.
- Exceptional relationship-building, presentation, and consultative selling skills.
- Highly self-motivated with the resilience, ownership mentality, and persistence required to succeed in a hunter-focused role.
- Occasional travel is required.
- Bilingual (English and French) is a strong asset.
What You’ll Get by Joining Our Team:
- Join a growing cybersecurity company where your work will have a direct impact on partner growth and company success.
- Influence how Field Effect expands its presence within the MSP community.
- Own your work without red tape.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
