You will
- Build and maintain strong relationships with targeted VAR's, Distributors, and MSSP's across the regional territory.
- Implement a comprehensive partnership sales strategy to achieve revenue targets and expand market reach.
- Develop and execute a strategy for recruiting new channel partners.

Requirements
- 3-5 years of cybersecurity, OT/ICS, or other related sales experience focusing on building channel relationships.
- Understands how to navigate the channel ecosystem: Value Added Resellers, Distribution Partners, and MSSP models within the United States.
- Self-driven and good expedition behavior: when you hit a new city to set up for a conference on a weekend, you'll be eager to be there and pick up any task that needs doing next.
- Outgoing: you're the one who makes friends with the person next to you in line for coffee.
- Curious: we're working on new technologies that solve age-old problems. You'll want to learn how it was done before, what we're doing that's different, and question why (and if!) the way we do it is better.
- Ability to convey complex cybersecurity and engineering topics into plain English (and other local lingos).
- Strong listening: most of sales is not pushing a product. It's listening to what problems a client says they have, and coming up with a tailored, articulate way to solve their personal problem.
- Goal oriented: Highly driven with a "Get it done" attitude.
- Want to travel: you'll be getting on planes. A lot. Sometimes to small towns in middle America for a sales conference, sometimes to far-flung places. Join the Navy, see the world.
- Work well with small teams: as with all tech companies, there's a flat organization here. Be prepared to do different things.
- Growth mindset: you'll be given tasks you don't think you can handle. And then you'll learn how to tackle them, and excel.
