Channel Sales Manager

**About Netskope**:
Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security.

**The Opportunity**:
Netskope is seeking a highly motivated and experienced MSP Channel Manager to join our dynamic team in the ANZ Region. This is a strategic role responsible for recruiting, enabling, and growing Netskope's Managed Service Provider (MSP) partner ecosystem. You will play a crucial role in driving revenue growth through our MSP partners, helping them expand their service offerings and deliver the power of Netskope's Security Service Edge (SSE) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions to their end customers.
If you are a results-oriented channel professional with a passion for cloud security and a proven track record of success in the MSP space, we want to hear from you
