About Native
Native is defining a new category in Cloud Security by empowering organizations to build truly secure-by-design environments. We provide a unified abstraction layer across AWS, Azure, and GCP, allowing security teams to seamlessly define and actively enforce policies without needing to master complex, cloud-specific configurations. Founded by industry veterans from AWS and Dome9, backed by $42M in funding, and trusted by Fortune 100 enterprises, we are looking for exceptional talent to take extreme ownership and help us scale the future of multi-cloud security.
As Native's founding Head of Channel, you'll design, launch, and scale our U.S. channel program from the ground up. You'll own partner strategy end to end - segmenting the partner landscape, recruiting and onboarding the right resellers, MSSPs, and integrators, building the program mechanics (tiers, deal registration, MDF, co-selling, enablement), and driving partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline alongside our direct sellers.
This is a builder’s role. You’ll take full ownership of the program from day one - writing partner agreements, standing up the portal, training the first sales engineers at our partners, and personally supporting early deals through registration and closing. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our Account Executives, marketing, product, and leadership to turn channel into a durable, multi-million-dollar revenue engine.
דרישות
7+ years in channel, partnerships, or alliances roles in B2B cybersecurity or cloud security, with a strong preference for time spent in early-stage and high-growth startups.
Demonstrated experience building a channel program from zero - not just running an existing one. You've authored partner agreements, defined tiers and economics, stood up deal reg and PRM systems, and shipped enablement content yourself.
Track record of driving meaningful partner-sourced and partner-influenced ARR, ideally helping take a company from initial channel traction to $10M+ in partner-attributed revenue.
Established relationships across the U.S. cybersecurity partner ecosystem: national and regional VARs (e.g., Optiv, GuidePoint, Trace3, Set Solutions, Defy Security), cloud-focused GSIs, and key distributors.
Comfort operating as a player-coach / individual contributor - happy to recruit a partner on Monday, run an enablement session on Tuesday, and ride along on a customer call with that partner on Wednesday.
Strong commercial instincts: you can model partner economics, structure margin and incentive programs that actually motivate behavior, and avoid channel conflict with direct sellers.
Ability to translate technical product value into a partner-ready story - pitch decks, battlecards, demo paths, and certification tracks that partners will actually use.
Excellent communicator and cross-functional operator; comfortable working closely with AEs, marketing, product, and finance to align on partner strategy and execution.
You actively leverage AI and modern sales tools not just to scale existing workflows, but to rethink how channel is built - experimenting rapidly, unlocking new approaches, and continuously evolving strategy and execution.
What We Offer
Competitive compensation with meaningful early-stage equity.
A rare opportunity to be the founding channel hire at a fast-growing cybersecurity startup and to architect the partner program from a blank page.
Direct influence on GTM strategy, partner economics, marketing investment, and how Native scales beyond direct sales.
Close collaboration with experienced founders, security experts, and operators who view channel as a core pillar of the business — not an afterthought.
Flexibility, autonomy, and the chance to build something from the ground up
