Inside Channel Account Manager

Our mission and why it matters

We are on a mission to make humans the strongest security layer.

Human risk remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities and traditional awareness training is not enough. We take a different approach by combining AI-driven personalization, real threat detection, and behavioral science to actively protect people and organizations.

We do not just simulate risks. We build the tools that detect and stop them.

    • Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
    • Core use cases and differentiation
    • How to effectively position and sell the solution
  • Act as the first point of activation for partners before opportunities reach Sales
  • Support national Partner events and lead regional Partner events

What success looks like

• In your first 30 days, complete onboarding and develop a strong understanding of Hoxhunt's partner program, sales process, and key internal stakeholders. Build relationships with strategic partners and begin participating in partner-facing meetings. Gain proficiency in Salesforce, partner tools, reporting, and deal registration processes. Begin supporting Channel Account Managers (CAMs) with partner communications, opportunity management, and follow-up activities.
• By day 60, independently manage day-to-day partner communications and follow-up activities. Consistently identify, qualify, and route partner-generated opportunities. Support pipeline creation efforts by coordinating partner meetings, campaigns, and enablement activities. Demonstrate strong collaboration with sales, customer success, and channel teams.
• By day 90 and beyond, own a portfolio of partner relationships and serve as a trusted point of contact for partner-driven opportunities. Consistently contribute to pipeline generation and partner engagement goals. Drive operational excellence by ensuring timely follow-up, accurate CRM management, and partner accountability. Be viewed internally and externally as a reliable extension of the channel team that helps accelerate partner-sourced revenue.

What we're looking for

• 1-3 years of experience in an SDR/BDR, Channel Sales, or Partner Development role.
• Experience working with VARs, MSSPs, or distribution partners.
• Strong prospecting skills across email, phone, and LinkedIn.
• Comfortable engaging with IT, Security, and Risk/Compliance stakeholders.
• Familiarity with CRM tools (Salesforce preferred).
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple partner relationships at once.

Bonus Points

• You're energized by building and growing relationships, especially in a partner ecosystem.
• You're proactive and comfortable with outbound, picking up the phone, sending the message, and driving engagement.
• You care about outcomes, not just activity, and focus on what actually drives pipeline.
• You enjoy working cross-functionally and aligning multiple stakeholders.
• You're motivated by ownership and being close to real business impact.
