Location: Chicago
🌍 We’re making security suck less for developers.
Security tools haven’t kept up with how software is built today. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck instead of a capability. We built Aikido to change that. Aikido builds developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what actually matters and automate the rest.
We’re taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we’re winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you’re in the right place.
Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank and a long runway ahead. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.
We’re hiring a VP of Channel to scale Aikido’s partner business across North America & Canada.
Over the past year, Aikido has established key strategic channel partnerships across the region. We are now entering the next phase: scaling revenue together with these partners, deepening executive relationships, and expanding our channel organization to get into accelerated growth.
This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who knows how to scale partner revenue in a fast-growing SaaS environment. You will own the North American channel target and personally take direct responsibility for revenue performance across 2 key strategic partners while leading a growing channel team.
We’re past the zero-to-one; your mission is to scale.
Responsibilities Own channel target for qualified pipeline & closed ARR
Expand revenue across VARs, distributors, and referral partners
Lead by example in driving partner-sourced pipeline and co-selling motions, while taking direct ownership of two key strategic partners
Recruit, coach, and inspire a high-performing channel team
Build a strong execution culture focused on accountability, pipeline generation, and partner success
Drive joint go-to-market and deepen strategic relationships with existing partners, focus on quality over quantity in a tight, productive partner network
Implement scalable forecasting, territory planning, co-sell and operating rhythms
Align channel execution with broader US commercial priorities and ensure predictable contribution toward global channel growth targets
Act as the voice of the partner ecosystem internally and help shape scalable growth initiatives
requirements
Aikido’s North American channel business has strong momentum and executive commitment behind it. You’re empowered. We’re looking for a hands-on channel leader who knows how to develop & grow partner pipelines, scale revenue & relationships with strategic partners, and build high-performing teams in a fast-growing environment.
Proven experience scaling channel revenue in B2B SaaS or cybersecurity
Strong track record with VARs, distributors, and strategic partners in our space
Experience leading and growing channel teams
Strong operational and forecasting discipline, a fan of clear operating rhythms
You know how to play, channel economics, partner incentives, and co-selling motions
Hands-on operator mindset: experienced to lead, execution-focused enough to deliver
Background in software security/cyber, developer tools, etc., is strongly preferred
You’ll partner closely with our global executive channel leadership on your strategy to scale pipeline, revenue, and partner relationships to ensure your territory delivers its share of Aikido’s overall channel growth.
What you can expect Opportunity to help shape and scale one of the fastest-growing developer security platforms
Strong momentum and executive commitment behind the channel organization
High ownership role with direct impact on company growth
Collaborative, low-ego team culture
Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package
Chance to help define how modern security companies scale through partnerships
