Channel Account Manager

The account execs at channel partners you’ve worked with trust you. They want to bring you in on deals. In fact they keep an eye out when you change jobs because they know you’ve got a knack for finding up-and-coming solutions that’ll make them and their customers successful.

Are you tired of working at companies that claim to be “channel first” only to take a deal (or two or three) direct to hit their number? That’s not us. We’re the real deal for every deal – asking “which partner should we bring in” even as an opportunity is taking shape.

This isn’t your first rodeo. You know that every partner has their nuances and you’ve learned that in order to work your magic to its greatest effect you need the freedom to flex and support from the top. That’s what you’ll find here.

At Strivacity we've got our eye on simplifying the customer sign-in journey. We're a breath of fresh air in a customer identity and access management (CIAM) market that's confusing and plagued with months- and years-long rollouts.  

Our customers want to create great online experiences. Our promise to them: our product gives you a canvas to craft lightweight experiences that wow. We don't use jargon or replay tired phrases to describe ourselves. We want our customers to love our product and also feel good about how they get treated during every interaction with us.

In this role you’ll be our first and only Channel Account Manager. With the entire country (and Canada) as your territory you’ll find, cultivate and equip the partners that make the most sense for us to work with. 

Working hand-in-hand with our account execs and sales engineers you’ll help craft winning opportunities for the customer, the partner and Strivacity. But your role won’t end when the deal is done. You’ll stick with each opportunity all the way through onboarding and beyond.

Are you looking to build on your sales success at a fast-growing SaaS company that’s committed to partners and surrounds our sales team to make them successful? If so, we should talk.
