Job Overview

Genea is creating this role to bring our enterprise security channel sales and partner organization under a single leader. The Director, Channel Partner Sales owns revenue delivered through the channel and leads a team of approximately twelve, including senior regional sales managers, regional sales managers, and sales engineers.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and serving on the go-to-market leadership team, this role sets channel strategy and builds the systems, metrics, and talent to execute it. The work is programmatic: designing repeatable motions, deepening partner relationships, and using data and AI to make the team more effective.

Because the role is new, the person in this seat will continue to define and refine how Genea sells through partners, working closely with the CEO and with real influence over company strategy.

Duties and Responsibilities

Own new business revenue delivered through the enterprise security channel, including pipeline generation, forecast accuracy, and quarterly attainment.
Lead senior regional sales managers, regional sales managers, and sales engineers against a single channel strategy and set of priorities.
Recruit, enable, and grow channel partners, building the partner base into a durable and predictable source of revenue.
Design repeatable sales motions, including segmentation, territory design, playbooks, and stage definitions, that scale beyond individual performers.
Establish the metrics, dashboards, and forecast discipline the go-to-market leadership team relies on to make decisions.
Define how sales engineering supports the channel, from partner technical enablement through opportunity-level support.
Apply AI tools to research, prospecting, partner planning, and forecasting, and set the standard for how the team uses them.
Hire, develop, and retain sales talent; set performance expectations and coach managers and individual contributors against them.
Partner with marketing, product, and customer success to align messaging, pricing, and roadmap input with what partners and end customers need.
Represent Genea with senior stakeholders at partner firms and end customers, including at industry events.
