SOC 3552 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 47% sure that is the right code. 8x8 is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 7129 (Sales related occupations not elsewhere classified), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask 8x8 what the duties actually are.
About the role
As a Partner Recruitment Rep, you'll find and sign the partners who help grow 8x8's Small Business. It's a prospecting role at heart — if you've worked as an SDR or BDR and enjoy the hunt, you'll recognise the rhythm — but instead of chasing end-customer deals, you're building relationships with partner businesses and bringing them on board.
THE ROLE
What You'll Be Doing
You'll find, engage, and sign new partners to 8x8 — running a disciplined, research-led outreach approach aimed at partner businesses (resellers, managed service providers, and technology integrators) rather than end customers. You sit right at the start of the journey: turning a target partner into a signed, active partner who's trained, transacting, and ready to grow with us.
The craft is the same one great SDRs know well — smart targeting, personalised multi-channel outreach, sharp qualification, and consistent follow-through — but here the win is a new partner brought on board. You'll focus primarily on recruiting partners for 8x8 Small Business, our fastest-growing area.
Responsibilities
What you'll do
- Find the right partners. Research and build a prioritised list of target partner businesses that fit our ideal profile — the right type, the right focus, and a genuine reason to partner with 8x8 now.
- Reach the decision-makers. Identify and connect with the people who matter inside each business — owners, managing directors, and sales leaders — building more than one relationship in each.
- Make every outreach count. Lead with genuine, researched relevance rather than generic messages — you understand a partner's business before you reach out.
- Engage across channels. Run thoughtful, well-timed outreach across phone, email, LinkedIn, and video.
What we're looking for
Essential
- A prospecting background (SDR/BDR or similar) with a track record of self-generated pipeline.
- Comfort owning a funnel end to end — from cold outreach to a signed outcome.
- Disciplined, research-first approach; you don't cold-call without a hook.
- Strong multi-channel communication — call, email, LinkedIn, video.
- Organised and honest with your pipeline — you keep it accurate and up to date.
- Experience in the channel or partner ecosystem, or selling UCaaS, CCaaS, or SaaS.
- Confidence with modern sales-engagement, prospecting, and CRM tools.
- An understanding of how partner businesses make money and grow.
- French or other European language skills, or experience across UK, European, or Australian markets.
The opportunity
- Get in early. This is a brand-new team — you'll help shape how it works and grow with it, not just slot into someone else's playbook.
- A proven approach behind you. You'll be backed by tried-and-tested prospecting methods, strong tools, and real support to help you succeed from day one.
