ABOUT THE ROLE:
HiddenLayer is seeking a high-performing Channel Partner Sales Manager to drive pipeline and revenue through a targeted portfolio of Value-Added Resellers (VARs), including but not limited to SHI, Optiv, GuidePoint Security, WWT and Insight. This individual contributor role is ideal for someone who has carried a direct sales quota, understands how cybersecurity / cloud security solutions are sold both through and with the channel, and brings experience building partner programs from the ground up at Series A, B and/or C startups.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with our direct sales team to develop and execute strategies that drive sourced and influenced pipeline, accelerate deal velocity, and scale revenue in a Sales-Led Growth (SLG) environment. You’ll also play a foundational role in shaping HiddenLayer’s partner program and partner enablement practices.

HiddenLayer protects the world’s most valuable technologies from adversarial AI attacks. Our team of AI professionals and security experts built a patent-pending platform to help organizations adopt AI securely. Our rapid growth and innovation have earned recognition from RSA Innovation Sandbox, CB Insights AI 100, and more.

• Own and grow relationships with strategic VAR partners to drive sourced and co-sell revenue from inception to closure.
• Create and execute joint GTM plans including training, lead-generation, and joint sales campaigns and partner marketing initiatives / events.
• Enable partners to effectively position, sell, and deliver HiddenLayer’s platform.
• Collaborate with direct sales to align account coverage, avoid channel conflict, and accelerate pipeline growth.
• Lead quarterly business reviews (QBRs), performance reporting, and ongoing enablement for VARs.
• Manage deal registration, partner forecasting, and sales alignment in partnership with RevOps.
• Serve as the internal voice of the partner, advocating for mutual success and influencing cross-functional collaboration.

• 5–10 years of experience in channel/partner sales, VAR management, and direct/overlay B2B software sales
• Proven success in partner-led and co-sell motions, ideally in a Sales-Led Growth (SLG) model
• Experience working directly with or within strategic VARs such as SHI, Optiv, GuidePoint Security, WWT, and Insight
• Demonstrated ability to build and scale a channel program from early startup stage (Series A or B)
• Strong understanding of deal registration, partner influence tracking, and direct/channel sales dynamics
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and relationship-building skills
• Self-starter who thrives in a startup environment—you’re not waiting for playbooks, you help build them
• Proficient in Salesforce, PRM tools, and partner performance reporting
