Partnerships are set to become one of our largest sources of new pipeline over the next three years, and we are building that function now. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated individual to build that channel for RemotePass, deciding which partner types are worth pursuing, recruiting and signing them, and making sure the pipeline they produce is measurable and converting.
