The Role
Drive U.S. channel partner revenue by building executive and field relationships, executing enablement and joint business plans, recruiting partners, managing pipeline and forecast accuracy in Salesforce, coordinating cross-functional resources, and meeting partner-sourced revenue targets.
Summary Generated by Built In
As a Channel Account Manager at Portnox, you will play a critical role in driving partner growth, expanding market presence, and accelerating revenue across the United States. You will work closely with strategic channel partners, distributors, and internal teams to build high-impact relationships, execute enablement initiatives, and deliver measurable sales outcomes in a fast-paced cybersecurity environment. 
This is a high-visibility, build-and-scale role. We are specifically looking for a proven top performer—someone who consistently exceeds targets, drives pipeline through partners (not just alongside them), and brings an established network that can be activated quickly. 

Key Responsibilities
  • Drive revenue through strategic US channel partners, including, but not limited to:  
    • CDW 
    • SHI 
    • Presidio 
    • GuidePoint Security 
    • CompuNet 
  • Establish and expand executive and field-level relationships within assigned partner accounts 
  • Build and execute structured enablement plans that result in measurable pipeline and deal progression 
  • Coordinate cross-functional resources (SEs, support, leadership) to accelerate partner success 
  • Own forecast accuracy and pipeline discipline within Salesforce 
  • Meet and exceed revenue targets through partner-sourced and partner-led opportunities 
  • Lead joint business planning with clear performance metrics and accountability 
  • Recruit and onboard net-new partners that meet defined qualification thresholds 
  • Maintain strong channel alignment and effectively manage deal flow within program guidelines 

What “Top Performer” Looks Like 
  • You have a track record of over-achievement and can clearly articulate how you built pipeline and closed business through partners 
  • You bring credible, working relationships across CDW, SHI, Presidio, GuidePoint, and CompuNet—with the ability to engage and get response quickly 
  • You operate comfortably at all levels of the partner organization (field sales, SEs, leadership, and executive stakeholders) 
  • You create pipeline through partners proactively—not dependent on inbound or vendor-driven opportunities 
  • You run a tight, accurate forecast and maintain clean CRM hygiene without being managed to it 
  • You are effective in a high-volume commercial and mid-market motion, managing multiple opportunities simultaneously 
  • You are known for moving deals forward, creating urgency, and holding partners accountable 
  • You are highly self-directed and do not require heavy oversight to execute 

Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise
  • 3+ years of US-based channel sales experience within cybersecurity or networking 
  • Proven success driving partner-sourced revenue and consistent quota attainment 
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and execute joint partner business plans that produce results 
  • Strong communication, presentation, and enablement skills 
  • Competitive, execution-driven mindset with a bias toward action 

Global Exposure (Optional Growth Opportunity) 
While this role is focused on the US market, there is the opportunity to support global channel initiatives as Portnox continues to expand across EMEA. 
For the right candidate, this may include: 
  • Supporting multinational partner alignment 
  • Contributing to EMEA partner strategy and expansion efforts 
  • Collaborating with international teams on global accounts 
This is not a core requirement, but an opportunity to gain broader exposure and contribute to Portnox’s global growth—valuable for long-term career development. 

Why Join Us
  • Opportunity to make a significant impact on the operations of the company.
  • Collaborative and dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
  • 100% remote

What We Do

The connected world is evolving. Every day. Every hour. Every minute. More devices are connecting to the corporate network from remote locations as employees travel or work remotely. Do you know how many PCs, tablets and smartphones are connected to your organization’s network right now? Both on and off campus? How many Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as printers, smart TV and HVAC systems are hooking up? Does your organization have a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy at play? Do you have guest and contractor connections? All of these expose the corporate network to threats and make the task of securing it more complex. Portnox provides next-generation network access control and management solutions that enable organizations to reduce risk and enforce security policy compliance. The company’s products provide automated security, visibility and control for every device accessing the network including Internet of Things (IoT), BYOD, mobile and unmanaged systems.
