Channel Partner Manager

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Channel Partner Manager to build one of Avoca's most important revenue engines: partnerships with the HVAC manufacturers, OEMs, and distributors that sit upstream of every contractor. Avoca has established itself as the leading brand and AI partner in the home services industry through partnerships across several channels, and this role owns distribution through the OEM and supplier layer. These partnerships put Avoca in front of thousands of home services operators at once, with the credibility of brands they already know and trust.

You'll own a revenue goal and a portfolio of these relationships, from OEMs like Trane, Daikin, and Carrier to their distribution networks. You'll take partnerships end to end: finding the opportunity, structuring the relationship, and turning it into repeatable pipeline and revenue. This is a small, fast-moving team, so you'll wear many hats and help build the playbook as much as run it.

You'll report directly to the Head of Partnerships and work closely with leadership on our highest-priority partner initiatives.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own a portfolio of partner relationships end to end, from first conversation to signed partnership to revenue

Build partnerships across HVAC manufacturers, OEMs, distributors, and their territory managers, including the co-op programs that fund and shape how these partnerships work

Structure partnerships that create real distribution: co-marketing, referral motions, preferred-vendor positioning, joint events, and go-to-market

Turn relationships into measurable partner-sourced pipeline and ARR, and own those numbers

Represent Avoca with partners and at industry events, with travel as needed, heavier during conference season

Work closely with Sales, RevOps, and Marketing to convert partner introductions into closed business

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Direct experience in the home services industry building channel partnerships with HVAC manufacturers and distributors like Trane, Daikin, Carrier, or Ferguson

Existing relationships you can activate quickly, with manufacturer channel leaders and distributor territory managers, plus an understanding of how co-op works

Experience with channel, co-marketing, or partner-sourced revenue motions

4+ years of professional experience, with 6 to 10 years the ideal range

A track record of building and closing partnerships or commercial relationships, not just managing existing ones

Strong commercial instinct and clear communication with both field operators and executives

High agency and pace: you build the playbook and move at the speed of a high-growth startup, not a legacy player

WHO YOU ARE

You know the home services world well enough to bring a point of view and a network with you, not build both from scratch

You're a relationship builder who's equally comfortable in the field and in a boardroom

You think in systems: you can look at a fragmented landscape and quickly see where the leverage is

You want to own a book of partnerships, carry a number, and shape what this function becomes
