Apple's Sales organization generates the revenue needed to fuel our ongoing development of products and services. This, in turn, enriches the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world. Our sales team is, in many ways, the face of Apple to our largest customers.

Description

We partner with our channel sellers to win hearts and minds for Apple's ecosystem through training, co-selling, tools, and programs that drive growth in the commercial business across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. We believe that personalized engagement with sellers and their leadership is the fastest path to enablement and customer adoption. Success means educating and encouraging the partner sellers we support to represent Apple well while growing the Apple business.

Responsibilities

Lead deals alongside the channel seller across the full sales cycle, owning pipeline creation and progression with strict adherence to pipeline hygiene.
Participate in quarterly business reviews with partner segment leadership and internal collaborators, ensuring alignment on strategic objectives, progress against goals, and accountability for key performance indicators.
Manage quarterly forecast and pipeline, providing accurate and timely insight into performance. Track weekly quotes, bookings, backlog, and sell-through progress, and proactively build plans to close gaps to goals.
Resolve client and partner issues promptly, serving as the connective tissue between the channel, customer, and Apple sales teams.
Know precisely who to bring in from cross-functional teams — including marketing, channel, field engineering, and strategic solutions partners — to deliver winning technical and business solutions.
Stay current on how AI is evolving within the business landscape, and apply that understanding to shape sales strategy.
