Head of Channel Sales

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility. You’ll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected. The role: Coram is hiring a Head of Chanel Sales to take ownership of our channel go-to-market. A foundation already exists, early relationships with resellers, VARs, and security installers/MSPs, but it's in its infancy and needs the rigor, experience, and process to scale into a real revenue engine. You'll assess what's in place, professionalize the program, and build it out into a durable channel motion across reseller/VAR and installer/MSP partnerships, reporting jointly to the Chief Sales Officer and CEO with direct visibility to the executive team. Responsibilities: • Assess the existing channel foundation and build the strategy, structure, and process to mature it into a scalable program • Bring rigor to partner recruitment, qualification, and onboarding across reseller/VAR and security installer/MSP channels • Formalize the partner program: tiering, margin and incentive structures, deal registration, and MDF (market development funds) • Own channel-sourced and channel-influenced revenue targets, and build the pipeline reporting and forecasting to track them • Build partner enablement: sales and technical training, certification, and co-selling playbooks • Partner cross-functionally with direct sales, marketing, and product to avoid channel conflict and align on ICP • Represent Coram at industry trade shows and events to build the partner pipeline • Put in place the systems needed to scale the program (partner portal, CRM tracking, deal registration workflow) • Hire and lead a channel team as the program matures Skills and qualifications: • 6+ years in channel sales, partnerships, or alliances, ideally in physical security, low-voltage, security integration, or adjacent B2B hardware/SaaS (at least 2+ years in channel leadership) • A proven track record of taking an early-stage or informal channel program and bringing the rigor and process to scale it, not just running a mature one • Existing relationships with security installers, systems integrators, and/or MSPs strongly preferred • Experience structuring and negotiating partner agreements, incentive programs, and deal registration • Experience selling into both SLED (state, local, education) and corporate/enterprise verticals • Strong executive presence and cross-functional leadership; comfortable operating with significant ambiguity • Ability to travel regularly for partner and industry events • Proven track record of above-target performance • Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels WHAT WE OFFER: • Competitive compensation package • 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance • Flexible paid time off and 10 paid holidays • 401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options • Early-stage equity in a rapidly growing company • Referral bonuses • The latest Apple products and unlimited tech stack (Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, Nooks, Clay, Instantly, etc.) We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations.
