RSA is seeking a channel-first GTM leader to own global channel communications, partner and distribution enablement, and partner-facing messaging across the Americas & International global audiences. This is a role for a highly self-motivated builder — someone who thrives in a greenfield environment, is energised by the opportunity to define the framework from scratch, and takes genuine ownership of outcomes without waiting to be directed. As RSA's channel organisation continues to scale, the right person will lay the foundations of a broader Global Channel Enablement function, with the potential to build and lead as the program matures.

This role reports to the Head of Channel Operations within the marketing and growth organisation and exists to solve a gap consistently voiced by the channel community: partners do not clearly understand what RSA does, why RSA wins, and how to strategically partner with RSA.

You will translate RSA strategy, product marketing, and channel priorities into channel-ready positioning, talk tracks, and enablement that drive partner clarity, confidence, and execution. You will lead the Global Channel Enablement strategy and communication plan and RSA's main communication tool — the RSA Partner Portal. You will also lead and manage key channel events such as Partner Councils, creating a structured feedback loop that improves partner experience and partner performance.

This is a channel readiness and partner productivity role tied to measurable outcomes.

Principal Responsibilities:

1) Own the partner-facing “Why RSA” story and channel messaging

●        Build and maintain RSA’s partner-facing messaging architecture, including “Why RSA,” category value, differentiation, competitive positioning, case studies, and proof points.

●        Translate product marketing into partner language, with guidance by partner type (reseller, MSP, SI, distributor),by motion (net-new, expansion, renewal) and by ICP buyer persona.

●        Develop concise partner talk tracks, elevator pitches, and objection handling aligned across channel sales, distribution, and field teams based on field and internal feedback.

2) Global channel communications engine

●        Own the global channel communications strategy and calendar, coordinating program updates, launches, enablement releases, and partner portal/PRM messaging into a consistent cadence.

●        Create partner communications that drive clarity and action, including newsletters, launch kits, partner portal updates, webinars, and distributor communications.

●        Build frictionless selling guides and FAQs that help partners complete key workflows and take action.

3) Partner and distribution enablement system

●        Own a scalable enablement framework that equips partners and internal channel teams with what they need to sell, deploy, and renew RSA successfully.

●        Channelize RSA core materials into partner-ready assets and toolkits, including:

●        Partner pitch decks and solution briefs by use case and vertical

●        Discovery guides and qualification checklists

●        Partner with Product Marketing, Sales Enablement, Customer Success, and Channel Sales to keep assets accurate, current, and field-tested.

●        Establish governance and a single source of truth in the PRM for what to use, when to use it, and why it matters.

4) Partner onboarding and lifecycle communications

●        Build and run partner onboarding and activation communications that move partners from signed to selling faster.

●        Create onboarding journeys and partner readiness paths (30/60/90 day experience), including quick-start kits, training paths, and first-deal support guidance.

●        Develop lifecycle communications for quarterly readiness, launches, program requirements, and renewal readiness.

5) Lead and manage Global Partner Councils

●        Own the strategy and operations for our global partner advisory councils: membership, recruitment, cadence, agendas, facilitation, executive participation, and follow-through.

●        Turn council feedback into a tracked internal action plan with clear owners and closure back to partners.

●        Own, track, and drive completion of executive action items to ensure consistent follow-through.

●        Use councils to validate messaging, identify friction, gather valuable feedback, prioritize enablement needs, soft launch programmatic updates, strengthen partner loyalty, and capture the voice of the partner community and gain high-level involvement during early stage planning cycles.

6) Measurement and operational rigor

●        Define and report KPIs that connect communications and enablement to business outcomes, including:

●        Enablement adoption (Attendance, completion, asset usage, PRM engagement)

●        Onboarding completion and partner readiness milestones

●        Renewal readiness participation and support impact in partner-led accounts

●        Build a quarterly operating cadence with channel leadership to review insights, identify gaps, and prioritize enablement and communications improvements.
