Channel Partner Manager, ZenGRC

Remote. Travel required for partner events, industry conferences, and company offsites.

About ZenGRC

ZenGRC is a governance, risk, and compliance platform built for lean teams managing multiple frameworks. With 117 automated integrations, AI-powered assessments, and cross-framework evidence reuse, ZenGRC turns compliance from manual documentation into continuous operational readiness. Organizations use ZenGRC to manage SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, HITRUST, NIST, PCI, and CMMC programs from a single system of record.

About the Role

ZenGRC is building a partner-driven revenue channel as a core part of our 2026 growth strategy. We have active partnerships in healthcare compliance and regulated industries, with plans to expand. This role owns the channel number.

You will manage existing partnerships, source new ones that fit a specific partner ICP, and actively co-sell with partners through the full deal cycle. This is a quota-carrying role. You are measured on closed partner ARR, not pipeline or activity.

What You Will Do

  • Own and grow active partnerships. Drive joint pipeline through shared outbound, co-presented demos, and content collaboration. Coordinate joint GTM motions across our partner portfolio in healthcare and regulated industries.
  • Activate partnerships commercially. Some technical integrations are already built. Your job is to build the commercial motion on top of them. Drive referrals, co-branded campaigns, and deal registration into ZenGRC opportunities.
  • Source and evaluate new partners. Build a pipeline of 2 to 3 candidate partners per quarter against a defined partner ICP: audit firms, MSSPs, VARs, or consulting practices with active GRC client bases in healthcare, financial services, or regulated industries. No vanity partnerships. Every candidate needs a clear path to closed revenue within 90 days of activation.
  • Run structured partner QBRs. Each active partner gets a quarterly business review with joint pipeline review, closed ARR accounting, and a forward plan with committed actions on both sides.
  • Integrate with the sales team. Attend weekly forecast reviews. Own partner-sourced deals from first touch through close with joint accountability with the AE. No black-box forecasting from partner contacts.

What We Are Looking For

  • 5 or more years of channel or partner sales experience in B2B SaaS. GRC, InfoSec, compliance, or audit software experience is a strong plus.
  • Proven track record of closed partner ARR. Not pipeline generated. Not partnerships signed. Closed revenue.
  • Experience co-selling with audit firms, MSSPs, VARs, or consulting partners. Understanding of how these organizations evaluate technology partnerships and what motivates referrals.
  • Ability to build and run a co-sell motion. You can run a demo, qualify a deal independently, and close with an AE. You do not depend on a partner to manage the sales cycle for you.
  • Existing relationships with audit firms, MSSPs, or VARs in regulated industries are a plus, provided you have a track record of converting those relationships into closed business.
  • Strong pipeline discipline. You forecast from evidence. You qualify partners the same way a good AE qualifies buyers.
  • Comfortable in a mid-market SaaS environment without a large supporting infrastructure. You build the playbook. You do not wait for one.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
