YOUR TASKS
We are scaling our North America MSP business aggressively and need a proven channel hunter to lead that charge. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who lives and breathes the MSP ecosystem, someone who already has the relationships, knows the MSP’s, understands distribution, and has a track record of turning a territory into a high-performing revenue engine.
This is not a role for someone who is learning the MSP space. We need a Day-One contributor who can walk in the door and immediately begin opening doors with key MSP Aggregators, distributors, and direct MSP partners across the continent.
MSP Aggregator Recruitment
- Identify, target, and sign new MSP Aggregator to expand our reach across North America
- Build and manage a pipeline of MSP prospects, driving commercial agreements from first contact to close
- Source and develop joint go-to-market plans with newly signed aggregators to accelerate partner-led revenue
Distribution Partnerships
- Engage and grow relationships with key distributors operating in the MSP channel
- Drive sell-through by equipping distribution partners with the right enablement, incentives, and demand generation support
- Align distributor sales teams around product positioning and MSP-specific value propositions
Direct MSP Partner Sales
- Recruit net-new MSP partners directly into our partner program
- Manage a portfolio of strategic MSP accounts, driving ARR growth through upsell, cross-sell, and activation of dormant partners
- Act as the primary commercial point of contact for tier-1 and tier-2 MSP accounts in your territory
Market Development
- Represent the company at key MSP industry events (IT Nation, ASCII, XChange, DattoCon, etc.)
- Feed market intelligence back to product and marketing to sharpen our MSP proposition
- Collaborate with marketing on channel campaigns, MDF deployment, and co-marketing with key partners

Proven Revenue Delivery
- Demonstrable track record of hitting and exceeding quota in a channel or MSP-focused AE role
- Experience building a territory from the ground up not just inheriting and farming an established book

MSP & Distribution Experience
- Direct experience negotiating and closing MSP agreements
- Understanding of distribution economics and how to drive pull-through at scale
