• Own commercial performance across revenue, margin, and growth for the indirect channel.
• Build and develop relationships with key partners across Managed Print Services, Managed Service Providers, HP ecosystem partners, and wider technology organisations.
• Enable partners to successfully position and sell Apogee services.
• Identify new revenue opportunities through service expansion and partner growth.
• Work closely with operational teams to ensure services are deliverable, scalable, and efficient.
• Resolve commercial or delivery challenges where needed, balancing customer expectations with operational reality.
• Build and manage a healthy pipeline and use data to drive performance improvement.
