Director, GTM Partners - Americas
For over 20 years, Smartsheet has helped people and teams achieve–well, anything. From seamless work management to smart, scalable solutions, we’ve always worked with flow. We’re building tools that empower teams to automate the manual, uncover insights, and scale smarter. But more than that, we’re creating space– space to think big, take action, and unlock the kind of work that truly matters. Because when challenge meets purpose, and passion turns into progress, that’s magic at work, and it’s what we show up for everyday.
Smartsheet is investing in the next phase of its partner organization. Our go-to-market partner model prioritizes strategic partnerships that drive net-new pipeline, customer acquisition, and market expansion.
