About The Position

As Native's founding Channel Sales Manager, you'll design, launch, and scale our U.S. channel program from the ground up. You'll own partner strategy end to end - segmenting the partner landscape, recruiting and onboarding the right resellers, MSSPs, and integrators, building the program mechanics (tiers, deal registration, MDF, co-selling, enablement), and driving partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline alongside our direct sellers. This is a builder’s role. You’ll take full ownership of the program from day one - writing partner agreements, standing up the portal, training the first sales engineers at our partners, and personally supporting early deals through registration and closing. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our Account Executives, marketing, product, and leadership to turn channel into a durable, multi-million-dollar revenue engine.
