• Lead with Insight: Conduct regular QBRs and ad-hoc business reviews with partners to align on priorities, track performance, celebrate wins, and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Strengthen the Channel Ecosystem: Influence partner sales teams to prioritize Verkada in key deals and business planning efforts. Leverage insights from the field to recommend improvements to Verkada’s channel tools, incentives, and partner program offerings.
• Drive Awareness and Demand: Lead and participate in regional in-person and virtual events to grow Verkada’s brand awareness, build community, and strengthen relationships with key partner contacts and stakeholders.
• Operate Strategically and Tactically: Own the full lifecycle of partner engagement in your region—from onboarding and enablement to pipeline development and revenue realization.
• This role requires regular travel, estimated to be more than 50% of the time, including both domestic and international destinations as needed. The successful candidate must be comfortable with frequent travel to support business operations, customer and partner engagements and team collaboration. 

What You Bring

• Experience & Success: 5+ years of channel sales or partner management experience with a strong track record of building new business via Security Integrators or IT LVAR partners. Experience managing and growing partners: Sentinel, NTT, World Wide Technologies, AHEAD, or Marco Technologies is highly preferred.
• Recognition, such as President’s Club, is a plus.
• Strategic & Creative Thinking: A process-driven approach, complemented by innovative thinking to create scalable, partner-focused initiatives.
• Relationship-Builder: Ability to influence and engage across all levels—from partner sales reps to executive leadership.
• Technical Fluency: Comfortable navigating product discussions and sales operations. Proficiency in Salesforce, Excel, and business intelligence tools.
• Clear Communicator: Strong verbal and written communication skills with sharp attention to detail and a professional presence.
