About the role
We're hiring a Channel Sales Leader to own and grow Digital.ai's channel sales motion Globally for our Agility and DevOps product lines. This is a high-impact individual contributor role that blends strategic partner development with hands-on execution. You'll be the engine behind our partner ecosystem - recruiting, enabling, and co-selling with VARs, regional SIs, and cloud marketplace partners to accelerate revenue in both direct-overlay and channel-exclusive markets. This is a builder-and-operator role specific to Agility and DevOps: you'll evaluate current partner coverage, identify gaps where the channel can unlock new revenue or where increased bandwidth is needed, and recruit high-value partners capable of filling those gaps. You'll also serve as the internal champion for the partner ecosystem, aligning marketing, sales, and product teams around channel success.
