You in? **Why would you love this job?** We are looking for a tenacious and results-driven Field Partner Leader to build and run Redis's channel and distribution business across India, the Middle East, and Africa. This is a hands-on, individually-owned territory covering the full partner ecosystem including distributors, resellers/VARs, system integrators, MSPs, and hyperscalers, across three fast-growing, highly distinct regions.

Reserving travel for the highest-impact engagements.. - Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, marketing, and product teams to keep partners current on Redis's roadmap and to align partner-led motions with direct sales coverage. **What will you need to have?** - At least 7-10 years of quota-carrying channel, partner sales, or distribution management experience, with direct experience managing partners across India, the Middle East, and/or Africa. - Demonstrated experience managing the full spectrum of partner types :distributors, resellers/VARs, system integrators, MSPs, and hyperscalers. - A track record of building and running distributor strategy, including partner recruitment, coverage planning, and lifecycle/performance management. - Proven ability to run joint business planning and QBR cadences that drive measurable partner performance. - Strong remote relationship-management skills and able to build trust, drive accountability, and close deals with partners across multiple countries and cultures without heavy travel. - Experience owning pipeline and forecast governance, with the discipline to deliver accurate, timely forecasts. - Salesforce (or equivalent CRM) and campaign/partner-program management experience. - Comfort operating independently across a broad, multi-country territory spanning very different market maturities from established distribution markets to emerging ones. - Executive presence: able to represent Redis credibly with distributor and partner leadership across the territory. **Extra great if you have:** - Existing relationships with distributors and partners across India, the GCC, and/or key African markets. - Experience selling or distributing infrastructure, database, or cloud/SaaS technology. - Familiarity with hyperscaler co-sell motions (AWS, Azure, GCP) alongside traditional distribution. - Experience launching or scaling a distributor network in an emerging or underpenetrated market. - Additional regional languages (e.g., Hindi, Arabic, French) beyond English. - A data-driven approach to prioritising effort across a large, diverse set of partners and markets.
