Position Summary
What You Will Do
Own the Outcome
Multiply Your Impact
by leading, coaching, and developing a high-performing team of seven Channel Account Managers across multiple levels and areas of focus. Build the leadership, capabilities, systems, and operating model required for the partnership sales function to scale beyond individual effort.
• Apply
First Principles Problem Solving
to assess HackerOne's existing partner landscape and determine where and how partnerships can create the greatest business value. Challenge legacy assumptions, simplify the partner model where needed, and concentrate resources on the partnerships and motions with the strongest potential for durable growth.
• Advance
AI Native
by redesigning how the partnership sales team works, making AI the default operating layer and not a tool bolted onto existing workflows. Partner identification, prioritization, enablement, and execution should run through AI-native systems where human judgment is the steering input, not the manual labor. Forecasting is continuous and model-driven, not spreadsheet-and-gut. Enablement is generated and personalized, not templated and static. The team's scalable ways of working emerge from AI-native defaults: agents handle the repeatable, humans handle the relational, and every workflow is designed for that split from day one.
• Use
Data-Driven Decision Making
to define the metrics that matter for partnership performance, evaluate partner productivity and pipeline contribution, inform investments and resource allocation, and continuously improve the effectiveness of the partnership sales strategy.
• Demonstrate
Change Agility
by evolving partnership strategy and execution as HackerOne's business, customers, technology ecosystem, and markets change. Provide clarity through ambiguity and ensure the team can adapt priorities while maintaining momentum against revenue objectives.
• Build and deepen executive-level relationships with strategic resellers, technology partners, and cloud marketplaces, including the AWS ecosystem, creating joint strategies that strengthen HackerOne's market position and generate measurable commercial impact.
• Partner across Sales, Marketing, Revenue Operations, Legal, Customer Success, and Product to align partnership priorities with company strategy, remove barriers to execution, develop effective partner programs and enablement, and create a cohesive partner experience.
Minimum Qualifications
• Proven sales leadership experience within information security, cybersecurity, or a closely related market, with demonstrated accountability for meaningful revenue outcomes.
• Demonstrated experience building, establishing, or scaling channel and partnership sales programs, including leading teams responsible for reseller, channel, technology alliance, or cloud marketplace relationships.
• Demonstrated success developing, negotiating, launching, and growing high-value strategic partnerships that generate measurable pipeline and revenue contribution.
• Experience leading and developing high-performing sales or channel teams while establishing the strategy, performance metrics, operating cadence, and accountability required to scale results.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience building and scaling partnerships within the AWS ecosystem or other major cloud marketplaces.
• Experience operating in a growth environment generating $30M+ in new ARR.
• Experience helping scale a company through significant stages of growth, including preparation for or progression toward an IPO.
• Experience building a partnership function across multiple partner types, markets, or customer segments.
