Business Development & Partnerships Manager

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.

📋 Description

• As Leaseweb’s inaugural Business Development & Partnerships Manager in Ontario, you will spearhead the establishment of a new market in the Greater Toronto Area.

• Your role extends beyond merely selling IaaS and cloud services; you will position Leaseweb as a prominent sovereign cloud alternative to hyperscalers by fostering strategic partnerships with Managed Service Providers (MSPs), VARs, and system integrators.

• With a partner-first strategy, you will promote the adoption of our unique cloud ecosystem, empowering partners to provide secure, flexible, and locally hosted infrastructure solutions to their clients.

• You will oversee the complete commercial relationship with potential customers, guiding them from initial discussions through solution design, negotiations, and closing, before transitioning the account to Leaseweb’s delivery and support teams.

• This position requires a high degree of autonomy, energy, accountability, strong time management skills, and a relentless, relationship-driven commercial approach.

• The agility and adaptability to succeed in a rapidly evolving environment.

• A proactive mindset and a commitment to going the extra mile to convert leads into revenue.
