Think of it like a travel agency model: we recruit entrepreneurial people, give them the tools and training, and they build their own book of business earning upfront acquisition bonuses and recurring monthly residuals. We need someone to own this program end to end. The Sales Partner Program Manager is responsible for recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, training, and providing ongoing support to our growing network of independent sales partners. You'll be the connective tissue between AvaHR and our field team — the person who finds the right people, gets them up to speed, keeps them motivated, and helps them succeed.
