ANZ Channel Team Mission
To foster a trusted, collaborative cybersecurity partnership network across Australia & New Zealand. By emphasizing open dialogue and shared objectives, we create lasting value for our customers, our partners, and Mimecast — together.

You won't just manage a territory; you'll help shape how we go to market across the region.

Develop a Channel Territory Plan aligned to pipeline and revenue targets.
Build strong internal relationships across sales, technical, and leadership teams.
Identify early pipeline opportunities and begin joint GTM campaign planning with key partners.
Beyond the first quarter, you will be measured on:
Partner-generated new business pipeline and revenue — monthly, quarterly, and annually.
Depth and quality of executive relationships across your partner portfolio.
Joint campaign execution and pipeline generation activity.
Upsell performance within existing end-user accounts managed by partners.

Strategic Partner Relationships
Own executive-level relationships with CEO/MDs, VP Sales, and Practice Leads across your partner portfolio.
Act as a trusted advisor and strategic resource — helping partners articulate and deliver the Mimecast value proposition.
Collaborate with technology alliances (e.g. Netskope) to uncover joint prospecting and new business opportunities.
Territory & Cross-Functional Execution
Develop and execute a proactive Channel Territory Plan to achieve growth targets.
Work with cross-functional stakeholders — including sales, technical, inside sales, and leadership — to influence pipeline and customer outcomes.
Manage partner operations efficiently, including contracts, support escalations, and administrative requirements.
Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline reporting to support business planning.

A track record of building pipeline through partner-led campaigns and joint go-to-market activity.

Experience in IT, SaaS, or cybersecurity sales — you understand how customers buy and how partners sell.
