About Telestream

Telestream sits at the intersection of media, cloud, and automation—powering the workflows behind the world’s most important video content. As the industry shifts from legacy infrastructure to cloud-based platforms, Telestream is evolving from a collection of best-in-class tools to an integrated, scalable video platform.

Role Overview

Telestream is seeking a high-impact Regional Sales Manager (RSM) to accelerate revenue growth across the Mountain West territory through a dual-route-to-market strategy: channel-led scale and direct enterprise engagement.

This role is designed for a seller who can operate at two levels simultaneously;

• Strategic builder of a high-performing partner ecosystem
• Hands-on enterprise seller driving complex, multi-stakeholder deals

The RSM will serve as a critical connector between Telestream’s product portfolio (Workflow, Measurement, and Professional Tools), our channel partners, and regional customers—translating technical capabilities into business outcomes across media, broadcast, sports, government, and enterprise video workflows.

Success in this role requires strong commercial instincts, technical fluency in video and cloud workflows, and the ability to orchestrate partners, internal teams, and customers through long-cycle, solution-oriented sales.

In this role, you will:

• Shape how Telestream scales through partners and enterprise customers
• Influence the future of video workflows across industries
• Operate with autonomy while collaborating with a deeply technical, high-performing team
• Play a visible role in Telestream’s next phase of growth

Key Outcomes & Impact

In the first 12–18 months, the RSM will:

• Expand and activate a scalable channel footprint across the Mountain West
• Increase qualified pipeline through partner and direct motions
• Drive net-new ARR and expansion revenue across key accounts
• Strengthen Telestream’s presence as a strategic platform partner—not just a point solution vendor
• Improve forecast accuracy and deal velocity within the region
