About The Position

The RSM is accountable for territory revenue driven by these motions, direct sales where appropriate and productive resource utilization. Success is defined less by what the RSM personally closes and more by how well the RSM directs, enables, and holds accountable the sellers, branches, and partners operating in the territory. The position requires channel management discipline, branch-level relationship ownership, Partner Program execution, and the judgment to know when to sell directly versus when to scale through the Reps.

• Demonstrated success managing through indirect sellers (rep firms, manufacturer reps, or distribution) and driving revenue through a channel

• Ability to understand and represent technical products to business audiences
• Strong verbal and written communication; ability to speak effectively to audiences ranging from technical staff to executives
• Excellent organization and time management; ability to lead multiple sellers and partners at once
• Proficiency with CRM systems (Salesforce preferred), Microsoft Office, and enterprise Gen-AI tools
• Ability to travel approximately 2 trips per month
• A valid driver's license and satisfactory driving record are required as a condition of employment. Employees must maintain a valid license and acceptable driving record for the duration of their employment and must immediately report any changes in license status (suspension, revocation, restriction, or expiration) to their manager or HR.

Nice To Haves

• Experience managing rep firms, manufacturer reps, or distributor relationships
• Understanding of security industry structure (dealers, integrators, distributors, monitoring)
• Knowledge of commercial intrusion detection, wireless security solutions, or IoT platforms
• Experience with sales methodologies (ValueSelling, Challenger, or similar)
• Demonstrated ability to run channel partner business reviews and territory planning
• Experience with new product launch and adoption management
