As Regional Channel Account Manager – TOLA, you will be based in the Dallas metro area and responsible for developing and growing KnowBe4's channel business across the TOLA (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas) region. Rather than being aligned to a single partner, you will own a portfolio of reselling partners within your assigned geography — including regional partners headquartered in the region and the local branch offices of national partners. Through frequent travel and high-impact, in-person activities such as on-site trainings, floor days, custom events, and joint business planning, you will enable partner sellers, drive deal registrations, and grow closed-won business across the region. You will take an active leadership role in bringing KnowBe4 partner incentive, SPIFF, and rebate programs to life within your territory — partnering with the Partner Programs team, who design and administer these programs, to drive adoption, participation, and measurable ROI. Your success will be defined in business (annual growth and market share), breadth (positioning the full KnowBe4 platform), activation (demand generation activities that lead to deal registrations and enablement of sales), and brand awareness (joint success stories).

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key partners reselling KnowBe4 products across the TOLA region
• Develop and execute a regional territory plan that prioritizes partners by opportunity, coverage, and growth potential
• Engage with partner executives onsite to strengthen executive-level relationships, gain buy-in and commitment, and advance strategic initiatives

• Develop and execute joint strategic business plans with priority partners, including agreed-upon sales, marketing, enablement, and certification goals
• Deliver on-site sales trainings, enablement sessions, and floor days across the region to equip partner sellers with positioning, product knowledge, and selling best practices
• Create and execute custom partner events (lunch-and-learns, executive briefings, joint customer events) that generate demand and deal registrations
• Take an active leadership role in incentive, SPIFF, and rebate programs: partner with the Partner Programs team — who design and administer these programs — to champion them across the region, propose region-wide or partner-specific incentives, drive participation, and own the results and ROI
• Drive deal registrations and partner-sourced pipeline; meet and exceed targets for partner-sourced pipeline and closed-won business
• Drive alignment between regional KnowBe4 sales teams and their partner counterparts — from field sellers to sales leadership — to ensure consistent field-level engagement and relationship building within the region
• Facilitate account mapping sessions between KnowBe4 regional sales teams and partner sellers to create measurable channel-sourced pipeline
• Identify, recruit, and onboard new partners within the region as needed to support growth
• Coordinate and collaborate on joint marketing efforts with the channel marketing team, tying activities to business goals and measurable ROI
• Engage partner leadership and KnowBe4 leadership to gain executive buy-in and commitment, including quarterly business reviews (QBRs)
• Drive partners to the partner portal to utilize marketing campaigns and demand generation tools
• Collaborate with and support direct sales and customer success teams where needed to manage the overall partner relationship
• Monitor partner performance and track key performance indicators (KPIs); provide regular updates including forecasts, competitive analysis, market trends, and territory opportunity
• Meet assigned targets for monthly sales volume requirements and objectives in assigned partner accounts and maintain a healthy pipeline/accurate forecasting
• Become a subject matter expert on one or more channel topics (e.g., deal registration, partner account planning, incentive platforms, partner program operations) and share best practices with the broader channel team
• Maintain accurate and thorough records in Salesforce.com
• Ensure partner compliance with partner agreements and rules of engagement
• Travel extensively throughout the TOLA region to partner offices, events, and KnowBe4 meetings (50% or more)
