At Mimecast, we’re passionate about protecting the lifeblood of organizations-their communications. As a Senior Channel Account Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving programmatic channel growth across the Nordic region by owning and scaling Mimecast’s channel strategy. You’ll be responsible for creating and executing strategic business plans, building strong partnerships, and driving measurable revenue outcomes. The Nordics represent one of the most sophisticated and security-aware markets in EMEA and we need a Senior CAM who can match that sophistication. If you believe partners are the most underleveraged growth lever in enterprise cybersecurity, this role was written for you.

What You’ll Do

Revenue Ownership and Pipeline Generation

•         Architect joint business plans with each strategic Nordic partner that map directly to mutual ARR target, including quarterly pipeline commitments, co-sell motions, and demand generation.

•         Drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, qualifying opportunities jointly, and accelerating deal velocity through co-sell support across Mimecast’s product portfolio.

•         Own the Nordic partner revenue number. Carry an individual quota of new business and expansion ARR and be accountable for partner-generated opportunities.

•         Identify and prosecute cross-sell and upsell opportunities within the existing Mimecast installed base through partner-led motions, leveraging the expanded HRM platform portfolio (Incydr, Aware capabilities).

Partner Lifecycle Management

•         Recruit and onboard high-potential new partners where analysis identifies untapped Nordic market coverage, vertical specialization (e.g., public sector, financial services, healthcare), or MSP growth potential.

•         Design and execute enablement programs aligned to Mimecast’s certification tracks, ensuring partner sales engineers and account executives can independently position, demo, and close deals across the HRM platform without vendor handholding.

•         Orchestrate the full partner journey from initial recruitment through ramp, first deal, and ongoing scale within the Partner Program tiering framework, treating each milestone as a measurable gate with defined timelines.

Engagement and Solution Selling

•         Sell the vision of Human Risk Management to partner leadership, translating Mimecast’s platform capabilities into board-level business value narratives relevant to Nordic enterprises.

•         Position Mimecast’s differentiation: one of only three vendors worldwide to achieve Leader status in both the Gartner Email Security and DCGAS Magic Quadrants, plus Strong Performer in the Forrester Human Risk Management Solutions Wave.

•         Serve as the bridge between Mimecast’s product/engineering teams and the Nordic partner ecosystem, channelling field intelligence on competitive positioning, NIS2/GDPR-specific requirements, localization needs, and integration priorities.

Monitor Performance and Provide Insight:

·       Lead Quarterly and Annual Business Reviews with strategic partners, delivering data-driven insights and actionable recommendations.

·       Monitor competitive strategies within the cybersecurity market and adapt Mimecast's approach accordingly.

Cross-Functional Leadership

·       Champion the partner voice internally: Work closely with Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to align the partner go-to-market strategy and ensure downstream opportunities are accurately forecasted.

•         Represent Mimecast at Nordic industry events (e.g., Nordic IT Security, Copenhagen Cybersecurity Conference), partner summits, and executive briefings, building C-level relationships with partner principals and practice leaders across the region

What You’ll Bring

•         Experience in Channel Sales, Partner Management, or Alliance roles in the Nordics or Northern European technology or cybersecurity channel.

•         Demonstrated track record of exceeding partner-sourced ARR quotas with evidence of building pipeline from early-stage partner relationships in the Nordic or Northern European market.

•         Deep experience managing Tier-1 national service providers, MSSPs, or national VARs including multi-threaded executive engagement at the SVP/VP level.

•         Technical fluency sufficient to conduct discovery-level conversations on email security architecture, data loss prevention, insider threat detection, human risk scoring, and AI-driven threat landscapes.

•         Proven ability to build and deliver QBR-quality partner business reviews with data-driven insights, gap analysis, and forward-looking action plans.

•         Full professional proficiency in English and at least one of Danish, Norwegian, or Swedish - can be based remotely in each of these regions
