Channel Partnership Lead
About Outtake
Outtake exists to empower and facilitate trust for a digital-first world. Today, impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse spread faster than any security team can respond to. So we built something different: an agentic AI platform that proactively detects, monitors, and takes down impersonators, automating protection in hours, not weeks.
Built by ex-Palantir, ex-CTO/founders, and ex-Notion engineers, Outtake is designed for clarity, autonomy, and velocity. Our goal is ambitious: become the trust layer of the modern internet. And we intend to do it with a lean, dense, exceptionally talented team.
Outtake is backed by top-tier investors and operators who believe in our mission and our model. With strong financial footing and a long runway, we prioritize creating an environment where people can do the best work of their careers.
The Role
Outtake is hiring its first Channel Partnerships Lead to build and own the channel ecosystem. We’re seeking someone with a background in channel who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, likes to be on the road meeting new people, and can switch between operating in the weeds and planning on a multi-year horizon.
This person will be instrumental in scaling our channel-first approach, from selecting our first tier of partners to building the operating model (enablement, deal registration, comp/compensation structure, co-sell motion). You'll work in lockstep with the Head of Partnerships, Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to make partners a repeatable, forecastable source of pipeline.
What you'll do
Partner strategy & selection. Identify, recruit, and onboard new channel partners which can best unlock access to our ICP
Relationship-building: Build and strengthen relationships with partners to expand the ever-growing list of Outtake acolytes
Enablement. Collaborate with marketing to build partner-facing training, battlecards, and certification paths so partners can position and sell Outtake credibly
Evangelize: Stay ahead of the fast moving Outtake roadmap to deliver relevant and impactful sales and technical trainings to partner teams
Co-sell motion. Own deal registration, lead-sharing, and joint account planning with direct AEs
Systems & reporting. Harden CRM hygiene to track partner activity and deal flow. Track and report on channel KPIs
What we're looking for
3+ years as channel/partner manager, account executive, or other partnerships ecosystem role at cybersecurity company or similar
Experience scaling a channel program and weighing strategic trade-offs
Comfort writing the playbook and not just reading it
Exceptional written and verbal communication; ability to present to executives and technical teams alike
Strong systems instinct to instrument the channel motion in our CRM
Willingness to travel up to 50% of the time
Nice to have
Existing relationships within the security VAR/advisory ecosystem (Optiv, Guidepoint, or comparable)
Experience leveraging AI to accelerate outcomes (and knowing when not to use it)
