You’ll be comfortable with ownership and reacting quickly to an opportunity as this is a new role, it will be challenging but very rewarding to build out partnerships where there haven’t been any previously.
This role will primarily focus on shaping and developing the partnerships with our existing practice integration partners. It will also support the development of new integration partnerships and ensure that all these partnerships are promoted to our partner base. This will comprise 70% of the role.
This role will also serve to support the Senior Digital Enablement Manager in additional duties around thought leadership. This will include events, smaller speaking engagements (both in person and digital), events and other projects as they arise. This area of the role will comprise 30% of duties and balance to suit both the needs of the department and the interests of the Practice Partnerships Consultant. There will be plenty of opportunities to get involved in a range of projects.
This role would suit someone with previous experience in relationship building and a good knowledge of the cloud accounting landscape. This person needs to be very comfortable creating new relationships and building something new.
