About the role

We're looking for a Director of Channels & Alliances to build Scanner's partner ecosystem from the ground up.

  • Deep experience in SIEM or the security operations ecosystem, including strong knowledge of the market, buying process, and competitive landscape

  • Strong existing relationships across the cybersecurity channel ecosystem as well as CISOs, security executives, and enterprise security buyers
  • Track record recruiting and activating strategic partners that generated measurable enterprise pipeline and revenue
