I would score prospective VARs based on security specialization, customer access, seller capacity, technical capability, executive commitment, and demonstrated ability to create pipeline, then build market-specific recruitment plans. Describe how you would create a business plan with a newly activated VAR. I would align on target accounts, solution plays, revenue and pipeline goals, enablement milestones, marketing activities, and a cadence for pipeline inspection. The plan would assign accountable owners on both sides, define leading indicators such as trained sellers and registered opportunities, and be reviewed quarterly with adjustments based on results. How do you measure whether a channel partner is successful? I use a balanced scorecard that includes sourced and influenced pipeline, closed revenue, conversion rates, deal registration quality, seller enablement completion, joint account activity, and forecast accuracy. I also assess qualitative indicators such as executive engagement, responsiveness, and alignment with our ideal customer and solution strategy. How would you resolve conflict between a direct sales representative and a VAR over account ownership? I would refer to transparent engagement and deal-registration rules, establish the documented facts, and focus the discussion on the customer outcome and fastest path to a successful deal. I would facilitate an agreed co-sell plan with clear roles, escalation paths, and shared incentives so the relationship remains productive rather than adversarial. What approach would you take to enable security-focused partners to sell a SaaS security platform? I would combine role-based product training with clear discovery guidance, competitive positioning, use cases, objection handling, and joint selling support on early opportunities. I would reinforce training through certification, office hours, field accompaniment, and regular analysis of pipeline and win-loss feedback to improve partner readiness. Obsidian Security is the leading SaaS security platform, trusted by global enterprises like Snowflake, T-Mobile, and Algolia. We protect 200+ organizations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, including many of the world’s largest Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies. Founded in 2017 and backed by top investors like Greylock, Obsidian was built to close a critical gap: securing SaaS apps where business happens—Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and hundreds more. The company does this by offering a complete SaaS security platform to reduce risk, detect and respond to threats, and prevent breaches at the source. Obsidian was built by leaders who redefined endpoint and identity security at CrowdStrike, Okta, Cylance, and Carbon Black. Now, they’re transforming how SaaS is secured. With AI driving rapid SaaS growth and complexity, agentic AI tools gain privileged access to sensitive data through integrations, creating new risks most security tools miss. Obsidian uniquely detects anomalous OAuth token activity and manages integration risks. Major announcements are on the horizon. Recognizing that SaaS security needs to evolve, Obsidian enables growing organizations to start with a lightweight, prevention-focused browser extension and expand coverage over time. With global momentum, a growing partner ecosystem including SentinelOne, Databricks, and Google Cloud, and a major fundraise ahead, Obsidian is scaling rapidly toward long-term growth and IPO readiness. ### The Opportunity We are looking for a Sr Channel Account Manager to lead and expand our Value-Added Reseller (VAR) channel strategy across the EMEA region.
