Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Channel Sales Manager to drive high-velocity pipeline and revenue growth through a strategic partner ecosystem across Germany (DACH region). You will own the full partnership lifecycle: recruiting, enabling, and actively co-selling with top-tier VARs, MSPs, Systems Integrators, and Distributors to win complex enterprise deals.

In this role, you will target key decision-makers in IT, Cybersecurity, and Endpoint Management, building the operational blueprint for how Hexnode wins at scale through the German channel.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Partner Acquisition & Activation: Identify, recruit, and activate a strategic portfolio of German channel partners (VARs, MSPs, System Integrators, Distributors), prioritizing quality and long-term strategic alignment over sheer partner volume.

• Joint Business Planning: Develop and execute quarterly "Top 10" business plans with priority partners, driving joint pipeline development, executive alignment, and structured Business Reviews (QBRs).

• Enablement & Competitive Co-Selling: Empower partner sales and technical teams through pitch coaching, live product demos, and sharp competitive positioning against incumbents such as Microsoft Intune, Jamf, Ivanti, and VMware Workspace ONE.

• Deal Execution & Enterprise Co-Selling: Actively support partners throughout complex, long-cycle sales engagements to close mid-market and enterprise deals (1,000 to 10,000+ seats).

• Partner Programs & Co-Marketing: Collaborate on targeted partner initiatives, including joint campaigns, MDF allocation, localized marketing events, and tailored resale/referral frameworks.

• Pipeline Management & Forecasting: Maintain a disciplined cadence for forecasting partner-sourced pipeline and bookings to ensure consistent quota over-performance.

• Internal Collaboration: Serve as a dedicated internal advocate for German partners, coordinating with Solution Engineers, Product Management, Legal, and Executive teams to secure resources, localized collateral, and pricing approvals.

Required Experience & Qualifications

• 5 to 10 years of B2B channel sales / partner management experience within SaaS, Cybersecurity, or IT Infrastructure.

• Proven Track Record: Consistent history of carrying and exceeding partner-sourced quota via 2-tier distribution models (Distributor → VAR/MSP).

• Segment Focus: Strong track record of selling into the German mid-market (Mittelstand) and commercial enterprise segments (1,000–10,000+ employees).

• Ecosystem Expertise: Deep network and experience working with German MSPs, VARs, Systems Integrators, and specialized Apple/Enterprise IT resellers.

• Market & Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of the German business landscape, IT security priorities, local compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR / DSGVO, BSI standards), and regional partner dynamics.

• Communication Skills: Professional fluency in both German and English (written and spoken) is required.

• Mobility: Willingness to travel as needed within Germany and the broader DACH region for partner meetings, trade shows, and customer engagements.
