As the Channel Account Manager (East), your main objective will be to identify, enable, and expand our relationships and revenue with East channel partners. Reporting to the Director of Strategic Alliances & Channel, you’ll be a key member of the team and your work will play a pivotal role in leading and expanding our market presence, driving revenue growth, and fostering strong relationships with our channel partners.
