This individual contributor role is ideal for someone who has carried a direct sales quota, understands how cybersecurity / cloud security solutions are sold both through and with the channel, and brings experience building partner programs from the ground up at Series A, B and/or C startups.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with our direct sales team to develop and execute strategies that drive sourced and influenced pipeline, accelerate deal velocity, and scale revenue in a Sales-Led Growth (SLG) environment. You’ll also play a foundational role in shaping HiddenLayer’s partner program and partner enablement practices.

HiddenLayer protects the world’s most valuable technologies from adversarial AI attacks. Our team of AI professionals and security experts built a patent-pending platform to help organizations adopt AI securely. Our rapid growth and innovation have earned recognition from RSA Innovation Sandbox, CB Insights AI 100, and more.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Own and grow relationships with strategic VAR partners to drive sourced and co-sell revenue from inception to closure.
  • Create and execute joint GTM plans including training, lead-generation, and joint sales campaigns and partner marketing initiatives / events.
  • Enable partners to effectively position, sell, and deliver HiddenLayer’s platform.
  • Collaborate with direct sales to align account coverage, avoid channel conflict, and accelerate pipeline growth.
  • Lead quarterly business reviews (QBRs), performance reporting, and ongoing enablement for VARs.
  • Manage deal registration, partner forecasting, and sales alignment in partnership with RevOps.
  • Serve as the internal voice of the partner, advocating for mutual success and influencing cross-functional collaboration.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

  • 5–10 years of experience in channel/partner sales, VAR management, and direct/overlay B2B software sales
  • Proven success in partner-led and co-sell motions, ideally in a Sales-Led Growth (SLG) model
  • Experience working directly with or within strategic VARs such as SHI, Optiv, GuidePoint Security, WWT, and Insight
  • Demonstrated ability to build and scale a channel program from early startup stage (Series A or B)
  • Strong understanding of deal registration, partner influence tracking, and direct/channel sales dynamics
  • Excellent cross-functional collaboration and relationship-building skills
  • Self-starter who thrives in a startup environment—you’re not waiting for playbooks, you help build them
  • Proficient in Salesforce, PRM tools, and partner performance reporting

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.
