As Regional Channel Account Manager – Northeast, you will be based in the Boston metro area and responsible for developing and growing KnowBe4's channel business across the Northeast region. Rather than being aligned to a single partner, you will own a portfolio of reselling partners within your assigned geography — including regional partners headquartered in the region and the local branch offices of national partners. Through frequent travel and high-impact, in-person activities such as on-site trainings, floor days, custom events, and joint business planning, you will enable partner sellers, drive deal registrations, and grow closed-won business across the region.

You will take an active leadership role in bringing KnowBe4 partner incentive, SPIFF, and rebate programs to life within your territory — partnering with the Partner Programs team, who design and administer these programs, to drive adoption, participation, and measurable ROI. Your success will be defined in business (annual growth and market share), breadth (positioning the full KnowBe4 platform), activation (demand generation activities that lead to deal registrations and enablement of sales), and brand awareness (joint success stories).
