Teleskope is the only data security platform that automatically resolves data exposure. Powered by its Data Reasoning Layer that understands business context, Teleskope continuously discovers and classifies risky data, determines the appropriate action, and enforces it natively across on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and AI environments, without manual triage or external tools. Unlike DSPM tools that surface findings and stop there, Teleskope closes the loop between detection and resolution. Customers include Ramp, Petco, Dayforce and Notion.
Fresh off our $25 million Series A round, Teleskope is accelerating rapidly, back by top-tier investors and exceptional product-market fit. We’re expanding our go-to-market team to accelerate adoption across the world’s leading enterprises.
Teleskope is hiring a Head of Channel to accelerate and formalize our channel strategy, starting with VARs and service partners across North America. Teleskope already has a channel-friendly culture and existing traction with the channel — this role exists to take that foundation and make it strategic: building the programs, structure, and momentum that turn early traction into a durable revenue engine. You'll have real buy-in from Teleskope to build the channel program as you see fit, backed by a company-wide commitment to being channel-friendly.
Teleskope is already one of the fastest growing data security companies on the market, and our channel program is still in its infancy. This role offers a chance to build and own Teleskope’s highest-leverage growth channel and help 10x the business.
