ABOUT THE ROLE
Envoy is transforming how companies manage and experience the workplace. This results in a tremendous growth opportunity for our partner community, spanning security integrators, IT resellers, MSPs, A/V solution providers, and consultants, as well as the largest number of integrated technology partners in our category. As a Channel Account Manager, you’ll be responsible for driving net-new partner-driven revenue (ARR) through an existing community of partners as well as through newly added partners acquired through your own recruitment efforts. This role is ideal for someone who approaches their territory with strategic discipline, blending a passion for driving channel-led revenue with the agility to move quickly, the organization to work methodically toward ambitious goals, and the enthusiasm to build strong, lasting partnerships.
This is a remote, field-based position located in the assigned Eastern territory that requires regular in-market presence, including partner meetings, events, and other business activities all of which will account for >50% of your time.
YOUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own a measurable partner-sourced pipeline and revenue target, driving high-quality deal registration and accurate forecasting across your territory.
- Recruit, sign, onboard, and enable new partners (VARs, SIs, and select distributors), then serve as their primary point of contact and strategic advisor.
- Build joint business plans and quarterly reviews with priority partners; align on GTM motions, enablement, and demand-gen to hit shared outcomes.
- Activate partners through structured enablement (playbooks, demos, certifications), co-selling with AEs, and coordinated marketing programs to create net-new opportunities.
- Drive field activities with clear ROI (events, workshops, executive briefings) and capture follow-through to opportunity creation and progression.
- Partner closely with Sales, SEs, Marketing, CS, Product, and Finance to unblock deals, shape solutions, and gather feedback that strengthens the program.
- Monitor partner health with crisp operating rhythm (pipeline reviews, forecast calls, mutual action plans), and maintain Salesforce hygiene for visibility and scale.
- Strengthen relationships at multiple levels within partner organizations—seller, technical, marketing, and leadership—to expand our footprint.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of Envoy’s partner processes, tooling, and metrics to support a high-growth, enterprise-grade program.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 3–6 years of channel sales/account management experience in B2B SaaS with proven results against partner-sourced pipeline and revenue goals.
- Demonstrated success managing a territory and portfolio of partners as a trusted advisor—recruiting, enabling, and scaling performance.
- Familiarity with partner models and agreements (Affiliate/Referral, Reseller, Technology/ISV) and the motions that make each successful.
- Experience influencing program design (enablement, co-marketing, incentives) and carrying a number with accountability for forecast accuracy.
- Comfort operating in fast-growing environments; you’re organized, methodical, and willing to roll up your sleeves to get the job done.
- Proficiency with Salesforce and sales/marketing automation tools (e.g., Outreach) and a data-driven mindset for pipeline and ROI analysis.
- Willingness to travel up to 50% for partner/customer activities.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- An exceptional written and verbal communicator who can simplify complex value propositions and inspire partner action.
- Highly organized, autonomous, and energized by a fast-moving, results-driven culture.
- Passionate about Envoy’s products and the enterprise problems we solve.
- Consultative, entrepreneurial, and intellectually curious.
COMPENSATION
- Compensation Range: $135,000 - $182,750

Channel Account Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a channel account manager in California?
The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field combined with experience in direct or indirect sales. California does not require a state-issued license for this role. Most California employers in the technology sector expect candidates to have worked in inside sales, account management, or a partner-facing role before moving into a dedicated channel position, and familiarity with the Bay Area or Southern California tech ecosystem is a practical advantage.
How much do channel account managers make in California?
Channel account managers in California earn a median of about $76,490 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $43,200 for the lowest 10% to over $152,760 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire channel account managers in California?
Employers hiring channel account managers in California right now include Paychex, Mainspring Energy, and Molina Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of enterprise software, networking, and cybersecurity companies means the state consistently produces some of the highest channel hiring volume in the country.
Which California cities have the most channel account manager jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Menlo Park have the most channel account manager openings in California. The Bay Area leads because it is home to the headquarters and major offices of the largest enterprise technology and cloud companies, while Los Angeles and San Diego attract channel roles tied to telecommunications, defense technology, and a growing base of mid-market SaaS companies expanding their partner programs.
Are there remote channel account manager jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 42% of channel account manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how much of the day-to-day work, partner calls, deal registration, and business reviews, takes place over video and in a CRM rather than in person. Partner-facing travel requirements vary by employer and territory size.
How can I get hired as a channel account manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as an inside sales representative or business development representative at a California technology company and transitioning into a channel or partner role after demonstrating consistent quota performance. Large Bay Area and Southern California employers like Cisco, HPE, and VMware run structured associate programs and channel enablement rotations that recruit early-career candidates. Building Salesforce proficiency and earning a vendor channel certification, such as those offered by CompTIA or major cloud providers, strengthens an application before that first dedicated channel title.
Where can I find and apply to channel account manager jobs in California?
