Sr. Director, VAR & Channel Partnerships

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Director, VAR & Channel Partnerships based in Portugal.

The Senior Director, VAR & Channel Partnerships will build and lead a global reseller and channel ecosystem, creating new revenue opportunities for an innovative AI infrastructure platform. This is a founding, zero-to-one leadership role focused on establishing a high-performing partner channel across North America, EMEA, and APJ. Initially operating as an individual contributor, you will recruit strategic value-added resellers (VARs), activate commercial relationships, and personally drive the first partner-sourced bookings. You will shape the channel strategy, commercial frameworks, enablement programs, and co-selling processes needed to turn partnerships into measurable revenue. As the program grows, you will build and lead a team responsible for scaling partner performance globally. Success will be measured by transacting partners, registered deals, pipeline contribution, and closed bookings—not simply the number of agreements signed.
