Channel Sales Manager

Chicago, IL

Too many Channel Manager roles are administrative. They spend their days updating portals, delivering swag, and begging for attention.

This role is different. We aren't looking for a "caretaker." We are looking for an Entrepreneur within the Channel.

You will be the engine behind our partnership with National Service Providers (NSPs). Your job isn't just to "maintain" the relationship; it's to navigate these massive organizations, find the hungry sellers, and turn our products into their strategic advantage.

You will thrive here if you:

  • Act with a Proactive Sales Mindset: You don't just wait for a partner to bring you a deal. You uncover opportunities within the partner ecosystem.
  • Build High-Touch Relationships: As a Danish company, we value deep, authentic connections. You’ll be building trust, not just transactional volume.
  • Excel in Orchestrating a Complex Partner Ecosystem: You love being the connector — tying our internal experts to the partner's sales teams to unlock deals.

Airtame is a platform for shared screens across education and business. It lets people share their screen, join video calls, and show content on any display — wirelessly, from any device and operating system. IT teams manage everything via Airtame Cloud, and the platform works with both Airtame and Airtame-enabled third-party hardware. Founded in Denmark in 2013, Airtame is built for real-world environments with mixed tech, and is used in thousands of schools and workplaces globally.

The Outcomes (What you will deliver)

Success isn't just "happy partners." It's measurable growth. Here is what you will achieve in Year 1:

  • Amplify Airtame’s channel presence by growing  and managing strategic NSP (National Service Providers) partners in North America
  • Optimize In-House Share: Move us from being "one of the options" to the "default recommendation" for key partner reps
  • Activate Sellers: Identify the top sellers within the partner orgs (NSPs) and turn them into evangelists who generate net new leads for us.
  • Drive High-Impact Activity: Lead events and joint activities (e.g., Floor days, Lunch & Learns, Regional Events) that result in pipeline, not just empty networking.

What will make you successful (Requirements)

We need a salesperson who speaks "Partner," not a Channel Account Manager who tries to sell.

  • 5+ years’ experience in B2B channel sales, selling through partners at either a product company (vendor) or a multi-brand provider (VAR, distributor, or reseller).
  • The "Channel Strategist": You have sharp commercial instincts. You view a large NSP (like CDW, Insight, etc.) as a greenfield opportunity. You know how to map their org chart and find the revenue drivers.
  • The Super-Connector: You are the glue. You know how to bring the right internal resources (SEs, Leadership) to the right partner meetings to close the gap.
  • Structured & Strategic: Complex sales processes don't scare you. You can manage the chaos of large partner organizations with structure and clear plans.
  • Relationally Intelligent: You know that business is done between people. You can build genuine rapport with everyone from a junior inside sales rep to a VP at a reseller.
  • Practicalities
    • Willing to travel for quarterly team meetings, conferences, and industry events.
    • Regular travel to partner sites (weekly basis)
    • Must be located in Chicago, IL

  • Join an innovative company that values work-life balance and a flat hierarchy.
  • Diverse team that thrives on collaboration and creativity.
  • Be part of shaping a growing business and your own career path.
  • Competitive salary and commission structure.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
