Channel Marketing Manager
Posted Updated
Description
- The Channel Marketing Manager owns the company’s partner-led marketing motion and its contribution to marketing-sourced pipeline. Sitting within Marketing and reporting directly to the CMO, this role turns our channel ecosystem — particularly MSSPs and distributors — into a growth engine through partner activation, strategic events, demand generation, and targeted account programs
- This is an autonomous, hands-on marketing role working closely with Channel, Sales, CSM and across Marketing, but not acting as a “middle person”. You own the strategy, execution, investment, and outcomes
- Own the Channel Marketing strategy and execution across strategic and priority partners, particularly MSSPs and distributors
- Determine where Marketing should invest across the partner ecosystem based on ICP, market opportunity, partner potential, and pipeline objectives
- Manage an ROI-driven Channel Marketing budget, including MDF and co-marketing investment
- Own channel activation end-to-end — from major international Partner Kickoffs to highly targeted tactical events, alongside digital campaigns and always-on partner demand programs
- Build joint GTM strategies and execute demand-generation programs with priority partners, directly contributing to marketing-sourced pipeline
- Create scalable partner plays, campaign-in-a-box programs, and other repeatable motions, while knowing when to break the playbook and try something new
- Own partner activation and engagement, ensuring programs are adopted, optimized, and measured
- Work hand in hand with Channel and Sales to turn commercial priorities, partner intelligence, and account insight into effective marketing programs
- Partner with Field Marketing, Demand Growth, Product Marketing, PR & Comms, Content, and Design to amplify channel programs, without outsourcing ownership
- Contribute to ABX programs for strategic accounts where partner relationships can create differentiated engagement and pipeline
- Own and optimize PRM platforms and partner marketing infrastructure, including Salesforce
- Use account intelligence, CRM/PRM data, intent signals, and automation — including AI where it genuinely improves speed, scale, or personalization — to identify opportunities and improve performance
- Localize programs across English-, French-, and German-speaking markets and travel regularly to engage partners and support key events
