## Job description

## About the Role

Abnormal AI is looking for a VP, Global Channels to lead our global partner and channel ecosystem. Channel is already our largest route to market, driving over half of new annual contract value through resellers and distributors worldwide. This leader will take that engine to the next level.

You will own channel strategy end to end: re-energizing and deepening relationships with our top partners, driving cross-sell of our newer products into the shared customer base, expanding into strategic partners and regions where we have room to grow, and building the global team and programs to support it.

The right person operates at startup speed with a builder's mindset. You are comfortable creating programs from scratch, not just running an established playbook, and you bring credibility with partner executives around the world.

## What You Will Do

- Own and scale Abnormal AI's global partner and channel strategy across resellers and distributors in North America, EMEA, and APJ
- Build and lead executive-level relationships with top-tier partners and open new strategic partnerships with enterprise-focused partners
- Design and run programs, incentives, and outreach that drive cross-sell of new products into our existing customer base through the channel
- Build the go-to-market motion that extends Abnormal AI beyond email security into new product categories through partners
- Own Public Sector channel strategy and partner relationships
- Build, develop, and scale a high-performing global channel organization
- Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Product leadership to align channel strategy with company priorities
- Establish channel performance metrics, forecasting, and reporting for executive and board-level visibility
- Represent Abnormal AI at partner and industry events globally

AI-Forward Hiring

Abnormal AI expects GTM leaders to use AI as a structural advantage, not a productivity add-on. You should have a clear point of view on how AI changes partner enablement, deal support, and channel operations, and a track record of building teams and programs around that shift.

Must Haves

- 12+ years in channel/partner sales leadership, including 5+ years at the VP level or above
- Vendor-side (manufacturer) cybersecurity channel leadership experience
- Experience leading a global channel organization (NA, EMEA, and APJ), not solely the Americas
- Experience leading a team of 20+ through a comparable growth phase (e.g., scaling from roughly $500M to $1B+ in revenue)
- Direct, executive-level relationships with major channel partners and distributors in cybersecurity or adjacent enterprise software
- Ability to operate at startup speed in a hands-on, builder capacity, not solely within a large, highly resourced organization
- Experience designing programs and incentives that drive multi-product or cross-sell adoption through partners
- Experience with Public Sector channel dynamics, including Federal and SLED

## Nice to Have

- Experience building or scaling a channel motion for a newly launched product category (e.g., AI-native security, identity, or SOC automation)
- Experience with Federal channel and large-enterprise partners (e.g., global integrators, infrastructure-led partners moving into cyber)
- Familiarity with MSP/MSSP partner motions
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field

## #LI-AK1

Actual compensation will be determined based on several non-discriminatory factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for bonus or incentive compensation, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package.

Base salary range: $290,700—$342,000 USD

## Market Standing

## Competitive Advantages
- **Behavioral AI Moat**: Unlike signature-based or rules-based security tools, Abnormal builds a unique behavioral baseline for every organization and user. This allows it to detect novel attacks that no other vendor sees.
- **AI-Native Operations**: The company doesn't just build AI products—it runs its entire business (product, CS, finance, HR) with AI agents, compounding its speed of innovation.
- **Deep Enterprise Trust**: Over 25% of the Fortune 500 give Abnormal the authority to autonomously make security decisions, a level of trust very few vendors achieve.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-First Culture**: From day one, Abnormal has been remote-first. Employees have the choice to work from home, from hub offices, or from co-working spaces (WeWork). Async work is the default, with deliberate synchronous overlap time. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **High Autonomy, High Accountability**: No micromanagement. Clear expectations. Growth is based on impact, not tenure or title. "You don't wait your turn." [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **AI-Native Work Environment**: Every employee, regardless of role, gets access to the best AI tools and is expected to use them. The company rebuilds work processes around what AI makes possible—not by bolting AI onto old workflows. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **Compressed Growth Timeline**: Because everything moves fast with AI, impact that would take quarters elsewhere happens in weeks. One person can do what used to take a team. Outsized impact is rewarded proportionally. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **Transparent and Direct Culture**: "We say what's true, even when it's uncomfortable." Leaders are accessible, teams share learnings openly, and new hires get real ownership immediately. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/about)
- **Notable Perks**: Compensation is tied to impact, not role. The company offers flexibility as infrastructure, not a benefit. Employees see direct results from their work in a fast-growing, mission-driven company.
