Full-time Channel Account Manager — the balanced verdict

Why this role stands out

  • Clear scope — partner recruitment, enablement, pipeline management and forecasting
  • Enterprise and OT/ICS focus appeals to candidates with deep cybersecurity domain knowledge

Worth checking before you apply

  • Full-time on-site UK role with travel required; no flexibility hints
  • Not a leadership advisory or fractional fit for Fractional Quest portfolio
