We're looking for a Director of Channel Sales to accelerate and scale Auvik's partner ecosystem.

This is a high-impact leadership role focused on building on the strong foundation already in place, evolving our partner program, expanding strategic partnerships, and driving meaningful partner-sourced and influenced revenue.

You will operate at both a strategic and operational level, partnering cross-functionally while establishing the structure, discipline, and execution model required to scale channel into a consistent and predictable growth engine.

• Identify and prioritize key partner segments (MSPs, VARs, distributors, strategic alliances)
• Expand Auvik's presence within high-impact partners and ecosystems
• Own partner-sourced and influenced pipeline, driving co-selling motions to improve velocity and win rates

Partner Program & Performance

• Build and evolve the partner program to improve scalability, clarity, and engagement
• Align partner tiers, incentives, and models to support growth objectives
• Track and optimize performance based on pipeline, conversion, and partner contribution

Team & Organizational Leadership

• Define and scale the channel coverage model aligned to growth targets
• Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing team of partner managers
• Foster a performance-driven culture focused on execution and results

Strategic Partnerships & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Build and manage executive-level relationships with key partners
• Deepen partnerships to unlock new revenue streams and market opportunities
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Product to align on go-to-market strategy and partner enablement

Operational Scale

• Establish clear operating rhythms and accountability across the channel
• Define and track key performance metrics across pipeline, conversion, and partner contribution
• Improve systems, processes, and workflows to reduce friction and increase efficiency
• Bring structure and predictability to how Auvik scales its channel business

• Experience leading or scaling channel, partnerships, or indirect go-to-market motions within a SaaS environment
• A track record of driving measurable revenue impact through partners, not just building programs
• Strong understanding of MSP, VAR, and distribution models, and how to prioritize across them
• Experience building or evolving partner programs to support growth and engagement
• Experience leading or developing partner-facing teams, or clear readiness to step into that leadership scope
• Comfort operating in a high-growth environment where not everything is fully defined-you can bring structure without slowing things down
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across teams and at senior levels externally
• A data-driven approach to managing performance, pipeline, and partner contribution

• Experience working in or selling into MSP or IT service provider ecosystems
• Background in scaling channel motions at a company going through rapid growth
