At Pax8 we’re expanding in Germany and looking for a Senior Channel Account Manager who wants more than just a sales role. This is your chance to become a true growth architect for our MSP & MIP partners.

🎯 The Role

As Senior Channel Account Manager, you’ll own and grow a portfolio of high‑value MSP partners across Germany, playing a critical role in Pax8’s continued growth in the DACH region. You’ll act as a trusted advisor, helping partners scale through consultative engagement, multi‑quarter planning, and strategic expansion across the Pax8 ecosystem.

This is a senior, impact‑driven role suited to someone who understands the German MSP landscape deeply, knows how to develop markets, and thrives in building long‑term, commercially meaningful partner relationships.

You’ll also never be selling alone. You’ll be backed by an incredible enablement engine – solution consultants, technical pre‑sales, professional services, and our Microsoft alliance that our competitors simply can’t match.

If you enjoy complexity, vision‑led selling, and shaping the story, not just quoting SKUs – this is the kind of role that will stretch and reward you.
