• Develop strong working relationships with Check Point leadership, account teams, specialists, channel and distribution teams, and internal stakeholders.

• Drive sales engagement by educating Check Point sellers on Illumio offerings, identifying target accounts, supporting account mapping, and coordinating joint customer opportunities.

• Establish a regular sales cadence, including pipeline reviews, opportunity strategy sessions, partner updates, and executive business reviews.

• Identify, recruit, and enable Check Point sales and technical champions to improve coverage and confidence in positioning Illumio solutions.

• Partner with marketing to plan and execute demand-generation activities, campaigns, events, webinars, and customer outreach.

• Track partnership performance, including Illumio pipeline, revenue, win rates, attach rates, renewal opportunities, certifications, marketing activity, and seller participation.

• Coordinate with sales operations and distribution partners to remove quoting, ordering, licensing, renewal, and deal-registration barriers.

• Ensure teams understand and maximize available Illumio and Check Point incentives, deal-registration benefits, MDF, and partner-program resources.

• Surface market feedback, customer needs, competitive intelligence, and growth opportunities to both organizations.

Your Toolkit:

• 5+ years of experience in channel, alliance, partner, sales, or business-development roles, preferably in cybersecurity or enterprise technology.

• Demonstrated success growing vendor partnerships, creating pipeline, and influencing sales teams without direct authority.

• Working knowledge of cybersecurity solutions, channel sales motions, reseller economics, and enterprise buying processes.

• Experience collaborating with vendor field teams, distributors, marketing, sales operations, and technical specialists.

• Strong business-planning, forecasting, presentation, and executive communication skills.

• Ability to use data to diagnose performance, prioritize investments, and communicate clear actions.

• Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.

Success Measures

• Revenue, gross margin, and renewal growth for Illumio through Check Point.

• Qualified pipeline creation, pipeline coverage, and opportunity conversion.

• Number and quality of joint account plans, seller engagements, and field activities.

• Growth in active Check Point sellers, technical enablement, certifications, and Illumio solution adoption.

• Effective use of deal registration, incentives, marketing funds, and partner resources.

• Strong partner satisfaction, executive alignment, and predictable operating cadence.

Ideal Profile

The successful candidate is a trusted relationship builder and practical operator: equally comfortable in a sales strategy meeting, a vendor executive review, or a detailed pipeline discussion. They bring energy to the partnership, translate Illumio’s value into action for Check Point sellers, and consistently turn joint plans into measurable commercial results.
