The UK is one of our highest-priority growth markets in EMEA. We are hiring a Sales & Partner Manager to own this territory end-to-end: winning new enterprise logos through direct sales and, at the same time, actively building and scaling the Magnolia partner ecosystem in the UK.
This is a true 50/50 role. You will personally close new business and recruit, activate, and grow the partners who multiply our reach. You will be the local face of Magnolia in the UK market, working closely with the GM EMEA and the wider EMEA revenue team.
Expected travel: approximately 30 to 40% within the UK, with occasional travel to Basel HQ and EMEA events.
