Channel Sales Manager at Material Security (Remote)
Role details
Job description
Material Security is looking for a Channel Sales Manager to build and scale our VAR and reseller partner ecosystem. You'll recruit new partners, deepen relationships with existing ones, and turn those relationships into net-new pipeline and faster-closing deals for our direct sales team. This is a build-from-the-ground-up role for someone who has done it before and wants ownership over a channel motion from day one.
Responsibilities
- Recruit, onboard, and activate new VAR and channel reseller partners
- Deepen the relationship and bi-directional deal flow with existing partners
- Build and run a partner enablement program: training, deal registration, co-sell playbooks
- Generate net-new partner-sourced pipeline in partnership with recruited VARs/resellers
- Partner with the direct sales team to accelerate deal cycles on partner-influenced opportunities
- Own partner relationship health, QBRs, and joint business planning with top partners
- Track and report on partner-sourced pipeline and closed-won revenue
What We're Looking For
- 3-5+ years of experience working directly with VARs and channel resellers, building relationships that drove net-new pipeline
- A track record of accelerating sales cycles through channel partnerships, not just adding volume
- Experience designing partner enablement programs that partners actually use
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and building a channel motion largely from scratch
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with direct sales, sales engineering, and marketing
– Material Security is a remote-first workplace with an office in San Francisco, California.
