The Role
We are looking for an exceptional individual to own GoGuardian’s channel partner business within a defined region.

You will bring significant experience working with resellers and distributors in the educational technology sector, and you’ll be a self-starter and energy amplifier with a proven ability to turn strategy into regional growth.
You will own your region’s partner portfolio end to end, from joint business plans and pipeline to onboarding new partners and resolving channel conflict. You’ll work alongside our Channel Operations Specialist, who runs the operational side of our indirect business, so your time stays focused on partners, pipeline, and results. Your success will be measured by the strength of your partner relationships and the growth of your region’s pipeline and bookings.
