• Support the end-to-end development of FF’s robotics dealer channel from partner sourcing and qualification to go-to-market frameworks, contributing fresh thinking as the channel is built from 0 to 1.
• Track channel landscape trends and competitor moves; synthesize findings into actionable strategic insights for PAR leadership.

1. Dealer Tiering, Classification & Channel Matrix

• Build and maintain a channel matrix that maps dealer profiles to product lines, geographic territories, customer segments, and growth potential.
• Continuously refine the tiering model based on performance data, market feedback, and evolving business needs.
• Use the matrix to support resource allocation decisions, incentive design, and partner development planning.

1. Business Negotiation & Commercial Deal Support

• Support the preparation of negotiation briefs, term sheets, and deal summaries to facilitate efficient partner agreement execution.
• Participate in commercial discussions with prospective Par partners on pricing tiers, territory scope, performance commitments, and incentive structures.
