Who is Authenticx?

Authenticx is on a mission to help humans understand humans. Our software platform is the new standard for humanizing customer interaction data at scale. We do this by channeling our passion and talent into helping health care leaders listen to their conversational data in a way that delivers value to the enterprise.

Position Overview 

Authenticx is hiring a Channel Sales Manager to drive growth across the United States through the Technology Solutions Distributor (TSD) ecosystem. This is an individual contributor role responsible for recruiting, enabling, and managing Trusted Advisors, agents, and consultants who source through the major TSDs, with a particular focus on Telarus, AVANT, and Bridgepointe. 

The Channel Sales Manager owns the front of the funnel: building the advisor base, generating qualified opportunities through the partner community, and handing off to the Authenticx direct sales team, who will work with the Trusted Advisor to advance and close the business. This role requires deep, pre-existing relationships with the advisor and TSD communities, fluency in how the indirect channel transacts, and the executive presence to represent Authenticx at industry events and in front of partners. 

Key Responsibilities 

Recruitment & Onboarding 

• Identify, recruit, and activate Trusted Advisors and agencies sourcing through Telarus, AVANT, and Bridgepointe, with additional focus on Sandler Partners, Intelisys, AppDirect, and other relevant TSDs as opportunities arise. 
• Drive Authenticx's presence at Industry events, advisor councils, and supplier showcases to build pipeline and brand affinity.

Sales & Strategic Planning 

• Develop and execute a national channel sales plan tied to Authenticx's revenue targets, with quarterly milestones for advisor recruitment, pipeline generation, and qualified opportunities passed to direct sales. 
• Own the front of the funnel: work with Trusted Advisors to identify, qualify, and generate opportunities, then hand off to the Authenticx direct sales team, who will partner with the Trusted Advisor to advance and close the business. 
• Stay engaged with the direct sales team and Trusted Advisor throughout the deal cycle to ensure smooth handoff, remove channel-side friction, and protect the partner relationship. 
• Collaborate with TSD supplier managers on co-marketing activities, including spiffs, promotions, MDF-funded events, webinars, and campaigns aligned to Authenticx's ICP. 
• Manage advisor pipeline and deal registration end-to-end in CRM, with clear visibility for both channel and direct sales leadership.

Reporting & Analysis 

• Deliver accurate weekly and monthly forecasts and reports to leadership, with clear visibility into pipeline by TSD, by advisor, and by stage. 
• Maintain CRM hygiene and manage all channel activity through the company CRM. 
• Analyze partner production and market data to identify high-potential advisors, underperforming relationships, and whitespace by region or vertical. 
• Regularly review and update channel business plans and strategies to align with organizational goals. 

Compliance, Brand & Voice of the Partner 

• Ensure all partner agreements are properly executed and adhere to Authenticx's commercial terms, deal registration policy, and TSD master agreements.
