Director of Channel Marketing

the team beneath you and raise the bar across every channel. Own channel marketing strategy across all three segments. Accountant & HR Advisors, Broker, and Private Equity each have distinct buyer profiles, partner economics, and GTM motions. Set the strategic direction for each — and identify where shared frameworks, infrastructure, and systems create leverage across all three. You're the connective tissue that makes three independent channel motions smarter than the sum of their parts. Drive Product Marketing across the channel function. Define and evolve positioning across all channel personas. Build and maintain the full enablement suite — pitch decks, battlecards, one-pagers, objection-handling guides — and keep the field ahead of competition by synthesizing win/loss data, Gong insights, and partner feedback into sharper messaging. Own the narrative across channels and drive the content that puts it in front of partners and prospects at every stage of the funnel. Lead Demand Generation across all channels. Set strategy for integrated campaigns — audience segmentation, paid, channel mix, and attribution — and hold

the team accountable to funnel metrics, partner-sourced SQOs, and pipeline contribution. Partner with RevOps to ensure every program is measured and optimized. Build and evolve ABM motions targeting high-value partners across all three segments. Elevate Field Marketing. Set strategic direction for the channel's physical presence — conferences, hosted events, lunch & learns, and partner activations — with every program tied to pipeline and embedded in Sales account strategy. Build scalable playbooks

the team can run consistently across segments. Build and scale

the team. Hire, develop, and retain strong marketers across all three channel teams. Set the standard for what great looks like at every level.
