It starts with our culture ...
Common sense has never been common.
If it were, the world would be a different place. Things would run smoothly and on time. People would do what they say and say what they do. Everything would be fair, without all the small talk. And banks would only sell you what you need. When a banker looked at a client, they wouldn’t just see a number, they’d see a dad or a mom or a graduate or a business owner. Our Bankers understand the complexities of people’s lives and offer simple solutions.
That's the basics of Relationships. Fairness. Simplicity®. When you choose our Company, you have an opportunity to make an impact beyond the walls of our buildings.

Tips for Your Channel Development Manager Job Search
Quantify partner revenue in your resume
Channel development managers are measured on partner-sourced revenue and pipeline growth. Replace vague claims with numbers: how many resellers you recruited, what percentage of revenue came through indirect channels, and how partner attainment changed under your program.
Tailor your resume to channel model
Reseller, distributor, VAR, and alliance partner programs require different skills. Read each job posting carefully and mirror the channel model it describes, whether that is two-tier distribution, MSP programs, or strategic alliances, so your resume reflects the right experience.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists channel development manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target companies expanding indirect sales
Roles open fastest at companies shifting from direct to indirect go-to-market models. Look for job postings that mention building a channel from scratch or launching a partner program, since those signal real investment and faster growth for the person in the role.
Prepare a channel program case study
Interviewers for channel roles almost always ask you to walk through a program you built or scaled. Prepare one concrete example covering partner recruitment criteria, enablement structure, incentive design, and the revenue outcome, so you can answer confidently and specifically.
Negotiate against your partner KPIs
When discussing compensation, anchor your ask to measurable channel outcomes you have driven. Linking your salary expectation to documented partner pipeline or revenue attainment gives you a credible basis for a higher number and signals you understand how channel performance is evaluated.
Channel Development Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most channel development managers?
The companies hiring the most channel development managers right now include Rubrik, Paychex, and ABB, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Technology and telecommunications companies consistently make up the largest share of postings for this role.
How many channel development manager jobs are remote?
About 81% of channel development manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the role is conducted through calls, digital platforms, and partner portals rather than in-person. Partner enablement and program management work tends to be the most remote-friendly, while roles that require in-region partner field support are more likely to require a physical presence.
How do you become a channel development manager?
Start by building experience in direct sales, inside sales, or a partner-facing role such as partner account management or channel sales. Learn how indirect go-to-market models work, including how resellers, distributors, and VARs are recruited and enabled. Move into a channel account manager or partner success role, then demonstrate you can build or grow a partner segment before stepping into a development manager title.
Can I get a channel development manager job without direct channel experience?
Yes, candidates from direct sales, business development, or account management backgrounds can transition into channel roles by emphasizing transferable skills. Focus on experience managing complex external relationships, designing incentive or enablement programs, and driving revenue through third parties. Applying to companies building a new channel program gives you the best opening, since they value potential alongside experience more than established teams typically do.
What does the channel development manager interview process look like?
Expect a recruiter screen followed by a hiring manager conversation focused on your channel program experience and go-to-market philosophy. A subsequent round typically involves a panel with sales, marketing, and sometimes finance stakeholders. Many employers ask candidates to present a channel strategy or case study in a final round, so prepare a concrete example of a partner program you built, scaled, or restructured before the later stages.
Where can I find and apply to channel development manager jobs?
You can find and apply to channel development manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your experience and apply directly to each listing.
