Role Overview:

The MSP Global Distribution Manager will own and drive MSP pipeline generation through IRONSCALES’ network of 25+ named distributors, marketplaces, and integration partners worldwide. This role is a top-of-funnel growth engine for the MSP Business Unit: responsible for activating distributor sales teams, marketplace listings, and integration ecosystems to generate net-new MSP logo opportunities at scale. The ideal candidate is a distribution expert with deep MSP channel experience, a proven presenter to large audiences, and a builder who thrives operating cross-functionally with the Channel Development Manager (CDM) new business team to convert pipeline into closed-won partners. This is a high-travel, high-visibility role requiring executive presence in front of distributor sales organizations and their MSP customer bases globally.

Core Responsibilities:

• Own and grow MSP pipeline generation across 25+ named global distributors, marketplaces, and integration partners, serving as the primary IRONSCALES point of contact for distribution-level GTM execution.
• Drive net-new MSP logo acquisition by activating distributor and marketplace sales teams, ensuring IRONSCALES is consistently positioned, pitched, and prioritized within their portfolios.
• Deliver high-impact presentations — in person and virtually — to large groups of distributor sales reps and their MSP customers, driving awareness, urgency, and top-of-funnel pipeline at scale.
• Build and execute distributor enablement programs (training, certifications, co-sell playbooks) that arm disti sales teams to sell IRONSCALES confidently and independently.
• Partner cross-functionally with the CDM (new business) team to hand off qualified, distribution-sourced pipeline and ensure a seamless path from lead generation to closed-won.
• Manage and expand marketplace presence (e.g., Pax8, Sherweb, and similar platforms), optimizing listings, promotions, and co-marketing to maximize discoverability and conversion.
• Develop and maintain relationships with distributor and marketplace executive stakeholders, ensuring IRONSCALES remains a top-tier, strategically prioritized vendor.
• Design and run co-branded campaigns and MDF-funded initiatives with distribution partners to drive qualified top-of-funnel volume.
• Monitor distributor and marketplace performance metrics — pipeline sourced, conversion rates, rep engagement — and proactively recommend program optimizations.
• Serve as the voice of distribution back into IRONSCALES leadership, surfacing market intelligence, competitive dynamics, and partner feedback to sharpen the MSP Business Unit’s go-to-market.

Requirements

What We Need from You:

• 5+ years’ experience in MSP distribution, channel sales, or partner ecosystem roles with a cybersecurity vendor, distributor, marketplace, or similar organization.
• Extensive, hands-on knowledge of the distribution model — how distributors, marketplaces, and integration partners operate, monetize, and drive MSP demand.
• Demonstrated track record of net-new logo acquisition and top-of-funnel pipeline generation at scale through indirect channels.
• Exceptional presentation skills, with proven ability to command large audiences of distributor reps and MSP customers, both in person and virtually.
• Strong cross-functional collaborator, with experience aligning closely with new-business sales teams (e.g., CDMs) to convert sourced pipeline into revenue.
• High-energy, self-directed operator comfortable owning a global book of 25+ named partners with minimal oversight.
• Excellent pipeline management, forecasting, and reporting discipline across a large, distributed partner network.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 50% globally to support distributor events, training sessions, and marketplace activations.
