Account Manager - Parallels

Push the boundaries of tech. In your sweatpants.

We’re looking for an experienced Account Manager responsible for our North American Market. The candidate of choice will help us change the way the world works, with Parallels anytime, anywhere, any-device productivity. Here, you’ll drive the Parallels go-to-market strategy by recruiting, securing, and managing net new Independent Software Vendors (ISV), Managed Service Providers (MSP), Cloud Service Providers (CSP), Resellers (VARs), and end user accounts/customers.

The top creative and technical minds could work anywhere. So why are so many of them choosing Alludo? Here are three reasons:

• This is the moment. It’s an exciting time at Parallels (a division of Alludo), with new leadership, a refreshed brand (you probably know us as Corel!), and a whole new approach to changing the way the world works. We’re at the forefront of a movement, and we want you to ride this wave with us.
• You do you. Too often, companies tell you about their culture and then expect you to fit it. Our culture is built from the people who work here. We want you to feel safe to be who you are, take risks, and show us what you’ve got.
• It’s your world. We know you have a life. We want to be part of it, but not all of it. At Alludo, we’re serious about empowering people to work when, how, and where they want. Home Office, Sweatpants? Cool with us. We believe that happy employees mean happy customers. That’s why we hire amazing people and get out of their way.
