Regional Channel Manager - APJ
As a Regional Channel Manager on Vanta's Channel & Alliances team, you'll be embedded in the mid-market sales motion — working shoulder-to-shoulder with sales managers and account executives to drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline across the segment.
This is a field execution role. You'll use the partner ecosystem as a multiplier on direct sales coverage, co-selling with regional resellers, VARs, and MSPs to open doors, accelerate deals, and expand Vanta's presence in the market. You won't be managing partner relationships from a distance — you'll be in the field, in the forecast, and in the room.

- Partner with sales managers and AEs to identify and pursue named accounts through channel partners, dividing and conquering coverage across your segment
- Facilitate account mapping sessions with regional partner sales teams, turning relationships into pipeline
- Co-sell with partner reps to advance and close partner-sourced and partner-influenced deals
- Enable regional and tier-2 partners to go to market with Vanta effectively — product positioning, competitive context, and deal support
- Maintain clean, accurate pipeline data in Salesforce — partner attribution, opportunity staging, and forecast hygiene are core to this role
- Coordinate closely with Partner Account Managers at deal close to ensure smooth customer handoffs
- Participate in weekly sales pod syncs and contribute to the FLM's forecast with current partner pipeline data
How to be successful in this role:
- 4+ years of channel or partner experience in software or SaaS
- Proven ability to co-sell alongside direct sales teams — you know how to work with sales managers and AEs, not just around them
- Experience with resellers, VARs, and/or MSPs

- Background in GRC, compliance, or security SaaS
- Experience operating within a structured, play-based GTM motion
- Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact
