Job Description

ServiceNow is scaling fast across EMEA and we are creating a brand-new team across EMEA to accelerate it. We have an exciting opportunity for a Distributor Sales Acceleration Manager. This is a high-visibility, high-impact position for someone who thrives on ownership, moves fast, and knows how to turn distributor relationships into real, measurable pipeline momentum. This position will be responsible for the Nordic Region based in Stockholm, Sweden.

You will not be managing a static book of business; you will be the driving force behind burning down pre-buy commitments, expanding coverage ratios, and building the organic pipeline engine that carries the Nordics into Year 2 and beyond. If you love the energy of channel sales, the precision of data-driven execution, and the credibility of working directly with regional leadership, this role was built for you.

What you get to do in this role:

Pre-Buy Burndown & Pipeline Velocity - Take direct ownership of pre-buy realization targets for the Nordic region, driving daily execution and removing blockers that slow deals down
Regional Acceleration Plays - Design and lead programs that create momentum across distributor and partner ecosystems
Partner Onboarding & Enablement - Get partners productive fast, building the skills and confidence they need to sell and deliver ServiceNow at pace
Coverage Ratio Expansion - Build a 3:1 new-to-closed pipeline engine that doesn't just hit this year's numbers, but sets up sustainable organic growth for Year 2
Daily Alignment with Exclusive Networks (EXN) & ServiceNow Leadership - Be the connective tissue between distributor leadership and internal sales stakeholders, keeping everyone moving in the same direction
Deal Registration & Pipeline Management - Own the mechanics that keep deals visible, tracked, and moving through the funnel

What Success Looks Like

Hitting the Nordics pre-buy burndown targets quarter over quarter
Building and sustaining a 3:1 pipeline coverage ratio
Expanding partner velocity across SKUs - both breadth and depth of adoption
Compressing deal cycle times through sharper execution
Strong partner satisfaction scores that reflect genuine enablement, not just transactional support
A growing base of active, high-quality deal registrations

Qualifications

To be successful in this role you have:

Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI's potential impact on the function or industry.
Broad-based business and technology expertise with 10+ years in sales or 10+ years in either partner management , solution consulting or consulting
Strong channel sales experience with genuine distributor model knowledge - you understand how distributors think and what motivates them
A data-driven approach to decision-making. You know your numbers and use them to act, not just report
Executive presence – credible in front of regional leadership on both the partner and ServiceNow side
Comfort running cross-functional programs and getting things done without waiting for permission; in a highly matrix environment
Hands-on experience with deal registration and pipeline management
A track record of regional partner enablement that actually moves the needle
Fluency in Swedish & English, plus another language is an advantage

Why This Role, Why Now

This is a founding opportunity - you will shape how this role works in the Nordics not inherit someone else's playbook. You will have direct visibility with regional leadership, real accountability for real numbers, and the chance to build the foundation for how ServiceNow accelerates distributor-led growth across one of our most important markets.

Drive the Region. Own the Numbers. Build What's Next.
