Postman is helping developers and professionals across the globe build the API-first world by simplifying each step of the API lifecycle and streamlining collaboration—enabling users to create better APIs, faster. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and has offices in Boston, New York, Austin, Tokyo, London, and Bangalore. The Channel Sales team at Postman is responsible for scaling our enterprise business through strategic partners, including systems integrators, resellers, and technology alliances.

As a Channel Sales Manager, you will play a critical role in accelerating Postman Enterprise adoption by developing and executing partner-led sales motions:

• Own and develop a defined territory by recruiting, enrolling, and activating strategic partners (SIs, resellers, and technology partners) to drive Postman Enterprise sales revenue.
• Build and scale a partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline by enabling partners to identify, qualify, and progress opportunities within accounts with large Postman user bases.
• Drive partner-led opportunities through the full lifecycle, from joint prospecting and deal qualification to close, in close alignment with direct sales teams.
• Develop and execute joint territory and account plans with partners to drive consistent, repeatable enterprise adoption.
• Enable partners through onboarding, training, and ongoing coaching to ensure they can effectively source opportunities, position, sell, and deliver Postman Enterprise.
• Deliver early partner wins while building toward larger, multi-team enterprise deployments and long-term services-led expansion.
• Navigate and influence key decision makers within customer organizations by leveraging partner relationships to expand executive-level awareness and engagement.
• Provide detailed weekly reporting on pipeline health, partner performance, forecasts, and territory progress.
• Communicate, organize, and appropriately escalate partner and customer issues including billing, legal, security, onboarding, and technical inquiries.
• Collaborate closely with Solutions Engineering, Customer Success Managers, Partner Marketing, and Leadership to build and execute strategic adoption and expansion plans in large accounts.
• Provide recommendations based on customer business objectives, usage patterns, and partner capabilities to maximize revenue and long-term value.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in channel sales, partner management, alliances, or partner-focused GTM roles within an enterprise SaaS organization.
• Proven experience working with AWS, systems integrators, resellers, and technology partners to drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue.
• Strong understanding of partner-led sales motions, including co-selling, joint account planning, and opportunity orchestration with direct sales teams.
• Experience supporting complex enterprise deals by enabling and influencing partners rather than owning the direct customer close.
• Ability to build trusted relationships with partner sellers, practice leaders, and executives, as well as internal sales and SE teams.
• Comfortable managing multiple partners and opportunities simultaneously across different stages of the sales cycle.
• Data-driven approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and partner performance tracking.
• Customer-centric mindset, with a focus on driving successful adoption and long-term value through partners.
