Overview
Are you looking for a job where you can develop, enable and grow successful Strategic Partner relationships? AvePoint is seeking a Partner Account Manager who will own, lead, build and manage regionally a partner eco-system with a focus on key strategic partnerships that will drive growth for the company.
