About the job

This is a new business sales role focused on generating pipeline and acquiring new SMB and mid-market partners across PosterElite’s ecosystem.

You will be responsible for creating and progressing new opportunities through outbound prospecting and partner engagement, primarily within high-volume, small to mid-sized partner segments. This role is focused on net-new partner acquisition and does not own enterprise-level partnerships or post-sale expansion.


You bring experience generating pipeline in a quota-carrying or pipeline-owning sales role and are comfortable operating in high-activity environments. Experience within HCM, payroll, or partner-led sales motions is strongly preferred.


What You'll Do

  • Identify, research, and engage prospective partners across Payroll, HCM, HR Tech, Benefits, and related industries
  • Build pipeline through outbound outreach, inbound qualification, campaigns, and CRM-driven prospecting
  • Lead early-stage sales conversations and discovery that connect compliance challenges to meaningful partner and client outcomes
  • Develop and nurture referral relationships with partners to generate new opportunities
  • Analyze competitors, market movement, and partner business models to inform strategy and strengthen positioning
  • Maintain accurate forecasts, documentation, and activity notes in the CRM
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support new initiatives, outreach strategies, and partner acquisition programs
  • Represent PosterElite in a polished, confident, and partner-centric way across all communication channels


What You Bring

  • A natural ability to spark interest, create conversations, and build rapport quickly
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills that make complex topics simple and compelling
  • Curiosity about partner ecosystems, buyer motivations, and market trends
  • Discipline in managing pipeline, documenting progress, and staying organized in a fast-moving environment
  • Persistence, creativity, and resilience when navigating stalled decisions or objections
  • A proactive, intentional work style — you take ownership and enjoy building something that scales


Qualifications

  • 2–5 years in proactive new business development, outbound sales, channel sales, or consultative hunting roles
  • Demonstrated success generating pipeline and creating new business opportunities
  • Experience working with or through partners, referral networks, or indirect channels is strongly preferred
  • Exposure to HCM, payroll, benefits, or HR tech ecosystems is strongly preferred
  • Experience with CRM systems (Zoho or similar) and strong online research abilities
  • Excellent virtual presentation skills and confidence speaking with leaders at various levels
  • Strong organizational habits and commitment to process-driven sales execution


How We Work

  • We’re a remote-first team that values clarity, communication, initiative and ownership
  • You’ll collaborate across Sales, Partnerships, Marketing, and Operations—mostly through Slack, Zoom, and Google Workspace
  • Travel is typically less than 20%, with occasional partner meetings or industry events
  • We move quickly, support each other generously, and celebrate progress as much as outcomes
