- Partner cross-functionally with internal teams (e.g. Enablement, Sales, Marketing, Product Management, Customer Support) to ensure seamless alignment and the successful execution of channel initiatives, and ensure resellers possess the necessary training, resources, and support to sell and support Sprout Social’s products.
- Maintain a deep understanding of Sprout Social’s product offerings and relevant industry trends to effectively communicate value propositions to resellers
- Assist with the development and delivery of a Reseller Partner Program
- Identify, recruit, and onboard new strategic reseller partners in target international markets in alignment with our channel strategy and growth objectives.

Whenever possible, Sprout wants to provide our team with the flexibility to work in the location that makes the most sense for them. Sprout maintains a remote workforce in many places in the United States. However, we are not set up in all states, so please look at the drop-down box in our application to see whether your state is listed. Few roles require an office setting. If your position requires a physical presence in a Sprout office, it will be evident in the job listing and your offer letter.
In the United States, we have two geographic pay zones. This role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) for new hires in each zone are:
- Zone 1 (New York, California, Washington): $160,000 (min), $200,000 (mid), $220,000 (max) USD annually
- Zone 2 (All other US states): $176,000 (min), $220,000 (mid), $242,000 (max) USD annually
OTE is governed by an incentive plan. It is the sum of a fixed base salary plus incentives at target performance. Incentive compensation will vary based on performance.
The listed ranges represent the expected earning potential in this position. Starting salaries for well-qualified new hires are typically around the midpoint of the range. These ranges were determined by a market-based compensation approach; we used data from trusted third-party compensation sources to set equitable, consistent, and competitive ranges. We also evaluate compensation bi-annually, identify any changes in the market and make adjustments to our ranges and existing employee compensation as needed.
OTE is only one element of an employee's total compensation at Sprout. Every Sprout team member has an opportunity to receive restricted stock units (RSUs) under Sprout’s equity plan. Employees (and their dependents) are covered by medical, dental, vision, basic life, accidental death, and dismemberment insurance, and Modern Health (a wellness benefit). Employees are able to enroll in Sprout’s company’s 401k plan, in which Sprout will match 50% of your contributions up to 6% with a maximum contribution.
