The Role
We are looking for an exceptional individual to own GoGuardian’s channel partner business within a defined region.

You will own your region’s partner portfolio end to end, from joint business plans and pipeline to onboarding new partners and resolving channel conflict. You’ll work alongside our Channel Operations Specialist, who runs the operational side of our indirect business, so your time stays focused on partners, pipeline, and results.
