You’ll represent Lazer at industry events, forge new relationships with decision-makers (AEs, team leads, execs), and generate qualified partnership opportunities to keep our sales pipeline healthy and primed.
This isn’t a traditional sales role — your focus is on connection and co-creation, not closing. You’ll identify the right opportunities and tee them up for our sales team, acting as a force multiplier for our growth efforts.

Plan and coordinate strategic attendance at relevant trade shows and networking events
Organize and host partner events, meetups, and relationship-building activities
Sales Enablement & Co-Selling
Collaborate with the Sales team to ensure smooth handoff of qualified leads
Participate in co-selling opportunities with Shopify and other strategic partners
Provide market intelligence and competitive insights to support sales efforts
Develop joint value propositions and partnership messaging
Strategic Planning & Execution
Create and maintain comprehensive partnership strategies and account plans
Track and report on partnership performance metrics and ROI
Identify new partnership channels and revenue opportunities

Who You Are:
5+ years of experience in partnership management, business development, or channel sales
Proven track record working with technology platforms, preferably e-commerce or SaaS
Experience with Shopify ecosystem or similar platform partnerships highly preferred
Background in agency, consulting, or professional services environment is a plus
Exceptional relationship-building and interpersonal skills
Experience with CRM systems and partnership management tools
Self-motivated with ability to work independently in a remote environment
Deep understanding of e-commerce landscape and trends
Knowledge of Shopify platform, apps, and partner ecosystem
Willingness and ability to travel for industry events and partner meetings
