Your impact

We're building a centralized partner acquisition function from the ground up. You'll own the full growth motion of our global reseller network, from identifying high-potential partners to signing new channel agreements across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. This is a high-activity hunter role, offering an opportunity to build a critical revenue lever from scratch.

What you'll do

• Build and manage a global pipeline: Identify and target resellers across industrial, healthcare, education, and government verticals.
• Drive full-cycle recruitment: Own the entire process, from initial cold outreach and qualification to final agreement negotiation.
• Track performance: Manage pipeline activity in Salesforce and report progress against global coverage targets.
• Develop the function: Refine outreach playbooks, qualification frameworks, and onboarding handoffs as the function scales.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with Sales, Marketing, Legal, and Ops to ensure a seamless transition from initial outreach to selling partner.

What we're looking for

• 2–5 years of experience in business development, or reseller onboarding
• Proven track record in outbound, hunter-style prospecting
• Strong pipeline management discipline and CRM proficiency (Salesforce preferred)
• Ability to work across time zones and adapt outreach to regional market dynamics
• Self-starter who can operate with ambiguity and build process where none exists
• Experience working with or selling alongside resellers, distributors, or VARs

Bonus:

• Passion for 3D printing, manufacturing technology, or hardware sales
• Familiarity with channel program structures, partner agreements, or distribution models
• Prior experience at a high-growth startup or scale-up

Why you'll love this role

• Ownership: You'll build a new capability at Formlabs from the ground up and own the full acquisition motion end to end
• Impact: Partner coverage is one of our most important growth levers, your work directly shapes global revenue
• Visibility: You'll work closely with regional sales leaders and channel leadership with a clear line of sight to business outcomes
