Distribution Channel Manager

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.

Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.

You are the kind of channel leader who knows great distribution partnerships do not run on autopilot. You build momentum through clear execution, sharp follow-through, and a constant focus on what actually moves partners from interest to action. In this role, you will help expand Huntress across ANZ by building strong distributor relationships, turning joint plans into pipeline, and making it easier for partners to sell with confidence.

You bring Warrior Spirit when the market is noisy, priorities shift, or a partner motion needs rebuilding in real time. You are outcome-obsessed in how you work with distributors, partner sellers, and internal stakeholders. You care about measurable progress, not activity for activity's sake, and you stay close to the details that drive recruitment, activation, and long-term revenue growth.
