From Home Youtube Channel Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Thanks for the click. We know your time is valuable so we will get right to it.

We've amassed some of the best and brightest minds in cyber security who are passionate about protecting the digital world. Our team blends advanced technology alongside deep expertise to tackle the toughest cyber threats out there. Put simply, our mission is to stay ahead of the curve and create a safer digital landscape for our partners, and we think adding a Strategic Channel Manager will up our cyber game.

The Strategic Channel Manager (SCM) is a quota-carrying member of the Channel Sales organization responsible for identifying, onboarding, managing relationships, and ultimately driving revenue growth with SilverSky's most strategic national partners. This role combines partner development with full-cycle sales execution, ensuring that opportunities sourced through assigned partners are actively managed, worked, and closed.

Reporting to the VP of Channel Sales, the SCM supports 10 to 20 strategic partners in an assigned geographic territory and carries a revenue quota aligned to partner-attributed bookings. The successful candidate will oversee the full lifecycle of each partnership, from onboarding and enablement to opportunity generation and deal closure. The SCM is directly responsible for scoping, pricing, managing the sales-cycle, and ultimately closing all opportunities they manage. Candidate will also bear responsibility for Salesforce forecasting accuracy and executing partner-specific marketing and enablement strategies in collaboration with internal teams. Acting as both strategist and seller, the candidate will engage resources from Sales Engineering, Marketing, Product, and Operations to drive successful outcomes and ensure high partner satisfaction.

While territory for this position will serve as a guide, Strategic Channel assignment may overlap territory at times, based on relationships or geographical synergy with key stakeholders.
