About the role

To rapidly scale our UK business, we need an ambitious, highly driven "hunter" to acquire top-tier resellers and other commercial partners in the IT solutions space. We are seeking a dynamic Partnerships Manager who thrives on identifying untapped market opportunities and leveraging their strong network to win net-new business for PEAC. This role will be the external face of PEAC in the acquisition phase. Your primary objective will be to prospect, pitch, and close high-value partnership agreements that generate consistent, ongoing revenue. You will be instrumental in articulating our unique value proposition, navigating complex sales cycles, establishing PEAC Solutions as the go-to B2B leasing platform, and aggressively expanding our market footprint across the UK.

Key Responsibilities

• Select target IT solutions resellers and commercial partners, and execute outbound strategies to secure introductory meetings.
• Drive sales and take full ownership of the end-to-end acquisition process, from initial cold outreach and discovery through to complex commercial negotiations and the successful closing and execution of new partnership agreements.
• Produce, analyse and maintain accurate management information to business requirements.
• Deliver compelling pitches and product demonstrations (topi and the PEAC portal) to prospective partners, clearly articulating the commercial benefits and ROI of integrating our financing solutions.
• Oversee the initial launch of new partners, ensuring a fast transition from contract signature to their first transaction before gradually transitioning the relationship to the Account Management team.
• Maintain a robust, healthy pipeline of prospective partners, and ensure rigorous CRM management for accurate forecasting and performance tracking.

Your experience

• Experience in B2B partnership development with a proven track record as a "hunter", consistently exceeding acquisition targets, within the areas of B2B technology finance.
• Excellent communication, pitching, and presentation skills; and the ability to confidently influence external decision-makers (Senior Stakeholders) as well as internal stakeholders.
• Highly organised, structured approach with the ability to maintain an overview of complex sales cycles and contract negotiations; and can effectively set priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to maintain oversight of complex projects while managing competing priorities.
• Excellent knowledge and strong relationships in the technology leasing space.

PEAC Solutions operates in a fast paced, high accountability environment shaped by US private credit ownership with ambitious growth expectations. This is a demanding, delivery focused business where pace, judgement and resilience matter. It will suit self-starters who thrive in change rather than fixed routines. We work together to make a lasting impact on our customers, our partners and each other.
