**** About the Practice
** LIFT Consulting has joined Sorren! LIFT Consulting is a boutique training and development firm based in Madison, Wisconsin, helping organizations elevate leadership, strengthen sales, and build cultures where people thrive. Our team partners with companies to address critical challenges like employee engagement, succession readiness, and sales growth by providing tailored training, consulting, and coaching solutions.  
** Role Summary
** The Director of Strategic Partnerships is a high-impact, senior business development role at the heart of LIFT's national growth strategy. You will be the primary force behind identifying, engaging, and converting reseller partners across key professional services verticals, including CPA firms, insurance companies, independent banks, and coaching and training organizations. This is a role for a relationship-first, results-driven professional who thrives in association and membership ecosystems and knows how to turn a warm room into a signed agreement.

You won't be working in isolation. You'll co-close reseller agreements directly alongside the CEO, bringing executive-level credibility and collaborative deal-making to every conversation. Your work sits at the top of the funnel and all the way through close: prospecting, pitching, nurturing, and converting a national pipeline of partners who will carry the LIFT Factor suite into their own client bases.

If you're energized by industry events, membership communities, and the long game of trust-based selling, and you want to do it for a product suite you can genuinely stand behind, this is a compelling opportunity to shape the partner ecosystem of a growing company from the ground up.  
** Key Responsibilities
*** Build and sustain active relationships within national associations and membership organizations across target verticals, including CPA firms, insurance companies, independent banks, professional services firms, and coaching and training companies
* Prospect association and membership lists to identify, research, and qualify potential reseller partners
* Secure introductory meetings and deliver compelling presentations to pitch the LIFT…
