Please Note:

We are not accepting outreach from external recruiters or agencies for this role.

Location: Brooklyn, NY (Hybrid)

Experience: 5+ years in Channel Sales, Partnerships, or Cloud Ecosystem Management (AWS/GCP/Azure preferred)

The public cloud is rapidly evolving, with businesses investing over $200B annually in cloud infrastructure. As AI accelerates demand for scalable compute, cloud costs are rising fast, yet most teams still manage them in spreadsheets.

At North, we’re building the next-generation cloud spend management platform. We give companies real-time visibility, control, and automation over their cloud finances, so they can grow efficiently without waste.

We work across AWS, GCP, and soon Azure, helping technical and finance teams optimize commitments, allocate costs, forecast spend, and automate savings. Backed by top-tier investors and trusted by customers like Brave, The New York Public Library, and Sum Up, we’re assembling a world-class team to redefine how businesses manage cloud infrastructure.

We’re hiring our first Channel Manager to build and scale North’s reseller and distribution strategy.

This role will own entry, onboarding, and relationship management for cloud resellers, distributors, and strategic ecosystem partners. You’ll design how North works with channel partners from the ground up, defining incentives, enablement, deal flow processes, and ongoing relationship strategy.

This is a high-ownership, builder role. You won’t inherit a mature channel machine, you’ll create it.

You’ll work closely with the CEO, GTM leadership, Sales, and Product to ensure our partner ecosystem becomes a scalable revenue engine.

• Design and implement North’s reseller and distribution strategy.

• Define partner tiers, incentives, and compensation structures.
• Establish onboarding, enablement, and certification frameworks.

• Recruit and onboard new channel partners.
• Build training materials and sales enablement resources.

• Deepen relationships within AWS, GCP, and Azure partner ecosystems.
• Identify co-marketing and co-selling opportunities.
• Represent North at ecosystem events, partner summits, and industry conferences.

• 5+ years in channel sales, partnerships, or ecosystem management.

• Comfortable owning revenue targets and partner-sourced pipeline.
• Builder mindset — comfortable operating without rigid structure.
• Excellent relationship management and negotiation skills.
• Strong operational discipline with the ability to design repeatable systems.
• Strong network within the cloud reseller ecosystem.
• Based in NYC and excited to collaborate in-office (Hybrid, Dumbo Brooklyn).

• Experience at AWS, GCP, Azure, or a major cloud reseller/distributor.
• Background in Fin Ops, Dev Ops tooling, or cloud cost optimization.
• Experience working in Series A–C SaaS environments.
• Familiarity with marketplace motions (AWS Marketplace, etc.).
• Experience building partner compensation models from scratch.

Channel will be a core revenue lever for North.
