The Role

We’re expanding our Channel team and looking for a Channel Account Manager who will own and grow our partner ecosystem. In this role, you’ll manage relationships with key channel partners—such as distributors, VARs, MSPs, and integrators—to drive new customer acquisition and revenue. You’ll empower partners with the right tools, training, and joint go-to-market efforts, collaborate closely with our Sales, Marketing, and Product teams, and represent Solink at key industry events.

What You’ll Do

• Own and Expand Channel Relationships: Manage a portfolio of distributors, VARs, MSPs, and integrators. Cultivate long-term partnerships by understanding partner needs, delivering continuous value, and driving engagement across different stakeholder levels—from executive sponsors to frontline sellers.
• Drive Net-New Business through Channel: Activate and enable partners to generate leads and close deals. Leverage deal registration processes, support co-selling, and champion Solink’s value proposition to accelerate customer acquisition.
• Develop Joint Go-to-Market Strategies: Build and execute channel-specific GTM plans, including co-branded campaigns, product positioning, and competitive playbooks. Collaborate with Marketing on scalable partner enablement assets.
• Deliver World-Class Partner Enablement: Design and lead partner onboarding, certification, and training programs. Provide access to sales tools, collateral, and product updates that empower partners to effectively sell Solink.
• Forecast, Track, and Report Performance: Monitor partner pipeline health, forecast accuracy, and revenue attainment. Use CRM and PRM tools to generate insights and share performance updates with internal stakeholders.
• Scale and Optimize the Channel Program: Contribute to key initiatives such as launching a tiered partner program, developing new onboarding frameworks, and driving regional expansion. Play a key role in shaping the next phase of Solink’s channel growth.
  
  

What You Bring

• Experienced Channel Sales Professional: You have 3–5+ years of experience in channel sales, partner management, or alliances roles, preferably in physical security, SaaS, or networking. You’ve successfully managed and grown a book of channel partners like VARs, MSPs, or distributors.
• Strategic Thinker with Tactical Execution: You understand how to build and execute channel strategies, tier partners effectively, and align joint go-to-market plans. You balance high-level strategy with hands-on work to hit your numbers.
• Relationship Builder & Influencer: You are a natural connector with strong interpersonal skills. You build trust and mindshare with partners, motivate them to prioritize your product, and know how to navigate complex partner ecosystems.
• Strong Communicator & Presenter: Whether delivering training, presenting at a QBR, or pitching a co-sell plan, you are clear, persuasive, and audience-focused—both in writing and in person.
• Data-Driven & Process-Oriented: You’re fluent in pipeline management, forecasting, and performance tracking in CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot. You use data to identify gaps and opportunities.
