This role is responsible for driving partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline through high-signal field programs - working in close partnership with the channel sales team to build account coverage, accelerate deals in market, and ensure every program clears a CPO/ROI threshold standard. You will report to the Director, Field Marketing and serve as a marketing partner to Horizon3 http://Horizon3.ai’s VAR, reseller, alliance, and distribution partners across AMER. You will own the co-marketing motion end to end - from joint program design and MDF management through execution, follow-up, and pipeline attribution. This role exists because channel is a critical growth lever for Horizon3 http://Horizon3.ai, and partner-driven pipeline requires a dedicated marketing owner who understands both the field motion and the partner ecosystem.

PLEASE NOTE: We are seeking individuals who are physically located within the Mountain, and Pacific timezones. All other locations will not be considered at this time. Channel Co-Marketing Strategy and Planning - Own the Americas channel field marketing strategy for your region, building a co-marketing program portfolio designed to generate net-new partner-sourced pipeline and accelerate partner-influenced deals already in motion. - Build co-marketing plans that reflect where the highest pipeline opportunity lives, not just where partners ask for budget. - Help develop and maintain a channel marketing calendar aligned to partner priorities, regional sales plays, and company campaign themes - ensuring co-marketing events ladder up to integrated demand gen motions rather than running disconnected. - Define and enforce pipeline ROI standards as the gate for all channel field investments - every program needs a pipeline hypothesis going in and a pipeline outcome coming out. Partner Program Alignment - Design and execute joint field programs with VARs, resellers, alliance partners, and distributors across the Americas - including co-hosted events, partner-led roundtables, joint conference activations, roadshows, and CISO-focused experiences. - Manage MDF programs end to end: planning, partner alignment, execution oversight, budget tracking, and pipeline attribution reporting. MDF is an investment with an expected return, not a partner benefit to be dispersed. What You’ll Bring - 8+ years of channel marketing experience, with demonstrated ownership of partner co-marketing programs and measurable pipeline contribution. - Proven track record building and executing co-marketing events with VARs, resellers, alliance partners, or distributors - with the pipeline data to back it up. - Experience managing MDF event budgets: planning, partner alignment, execution oversight, and ROI reporting. - Strong understanding of the channel partner ecosystem in B2B technology - how partners sell, what motivates them, and how to design events that drive joint pipeline rather than just partner satisfaction. - Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; ability to work effectively with channel sales, direct field marketing, demand gen, digital, ABM, and product marketing to orchestrate coordinated event strategy and execution. - Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple partner relationships, programs, and timelines simultaneously without losing accountability or momentum. What Sets You Apart? - Experience in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, or adjacent B2B security markets. - Proficiency with Salesforce for pipeline tracking, partner attribution, and co-marketing performance reporting. - Familiarity with Federal or Public Sector channel marketing, including distribution ecosystems like Carahsoft and compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP and CMMC. - Familiarity with intent data and ABM tools such as Zoominfo or Reachdesk in support of partner-led account coverage. - Familiarity with Pardot, Marketo, or HubSpot for co-marketing campaign setup and attribution.
