This is a foundational role. We're building our channel sales program from the ground up — from MSSPs and security-focused VARs to global SIs and technology alliances — and we need a marketing leader who can build the engine that powers it. You'll be responsible for end-to-end channel and partner marketing. You will be responsible for positioning Allure to partners, equipping them to sell, and generating pipeline with and through them. If you've been waiting for a chance to build a partner marketing function rather than inherit one, this is it. You'll report to the VP of Marketing and partner closely with the Director of Partners & Channels and the Allure Security sales team. This is an individual contributor role with broad scope, executive visibility, and a direct line to revenue.
Define the strategy, operating model, and rhythms for how Allure markets to, with, and through partners. Establish the metrics that matter including partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, MDF ROI, partner activation, and joint campaign performance. YOu will be responsible for report results and communicating them clearly to the executive team.
Stand up a transparent, tiered marketing development funds program from scratch. Identify eligible activities, create the application process, organize and approve MDF claims, and track ROI. You will work with partners to use co-op dollars to drive measurable pipeline rather than swag-and-sponsorships.
Build the partner-facing content library including pitch decks, battlecards, solution briefs, demo videos, ROI calculators, objection handlers, and “better-together” narratives for technology alliances. Stand up and curate the partner portal so reps can self-serve. Create enablement tracks for partner sellers and SEs that get them to first deal faster.
Build joint campaigns, co-branded content, webinars, and field events with priority partners. Run “to-partner” campaigns that recruit and activate the right partners, and “through-partner” campaigns that generate end-customer demand. Tie every program to a clear pipeline target and make co-selling easy with shared lead workflows.
Plan Allure's presence at partner conferences, summits, and SKOs. Build a repeatable playbook for regional partner events, lunch-and-learns, and executive roundtables that channel sellers can run with minimal lift.
Stand up a partner newsletter, quarterly partner webinars, win announcements, and a steady cadence of product and program updates that keep Allure top-of-mind in a partner's portfolio.
Sit in on QBRs and joint planning sessions. Translate what you hear into better programs and feed partner intelligence back to product, sales, and the rest of marketing. You will be responsible for establishing partner feedback vehicles including an advisory board.
