Company mission
To pioneer a brighter future of cloud computing.
Role
Who you are
- Track record building or scaling a multi-tier partner programme (MSP, VAR, GSI, or similar) at a high-growth SaaS or cloud infrastructure company
- Direct experience with GSIs – you know how to structure and activate a relationship with a systems integrator, not just a reseller
- Proven experience managing a team of PAMs or a channel team – hiring, coaching, and performance-managing multiple direct reports, with the judgment to know when to let them run and when to get involved
- Excellent executive presence – able to represent Cast AI credibly with senior partner stakeholders and with internal sales/exec leadership
- Comfortable selling to and through DevOps, Platform Engineering, and FinOps personas; working familiarity with AWS, GCP, and Azure
- Hands-on with the mechanics of a channel programme: deal registration, joint account planning, QBRs, co-sell motions, partner incentives
- Background at a digital-native company, startup, or ISV preferred – someone who has scaled a channel function before, not just inherited one
What the job involves
- This is a ground-floor build, not a maintenance job. The foundation is real – a defined partner tiering model, a growing partner base, and two Partner Managers already running the MSP and VAR tiers day-to-day
- What’s missing is the person who turns that foundation into a repeatable, scaling engine: recruiting and activating the partners that actually move revenue, standing up the GSI motion from scratch, and making partner-sourced pipeline a forecastable line in Cast AI’s growth
- You’ll manage and grow the PAM team, but you’ll also carry your own strategic relationships – particularly at the GSI level – and be the person the Director of Partnerships and sales leadership turn to for how the channel is performing and where it’s headed
- As Cast AI scales past unicorn status, this is a genuine build-and-own mandate, not an inherited process to maintain
- You’ll have full ownership of the Cast AI Channel Program – strategy, structure, and results
- The GSI motion, built from the ground up – recruitment, executive relationship-building, and joint go-to-market planning with systems integrators
- A scaled strategy for MSPs and Cloud Consultants that turns the tier into its own revenue stream
- The PAM team, managed directly across territories, with room to hire and develop as the function grows
- Recruitment, onboarding, and activation across all three tiers, with direct focus on the top strategic MSP and VAR targets
- The operating cadence across the programme – QBRs, joint account planning, partner advisory input
- Program infrastructure – tiering criteria, incentive structures, deal registration process, enablement and certification content
- Cross-functional alignment with Sales, SEs, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Legal to keep channel strategy tied to company priorities
Application process
- Screening call with Recruiter
- Hiring Manager interview
- 1-2 additional interviews based on the role
- Culture Check interview with an executive
- As part of our standard hiring process, we would like to inform you that a background check may be conducted at the final stage of recruitment through our third-party provider, Checkr
Our take
Managing cloud deployments effectively to control costs has become a priority for organizations of all sizes. Cast AI drives cloud optimization and cost reduction by using AI and machine learning to analyze a company’s cloud environment to identify the resources required for maximum performance.
Cast AI’s platform supports all three major cloud service providers; Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services. When cloud providers have unused machines they are typically discounted by 60-70%, however, if AWS (for example) needs that machine back, they give little warning before reclaiming it. Cast AI is able to automatically detect this, and immediately replace it, meaning companies using its platform will never experience an outage of discounted machines.
As more enterprises embrace cloud and AI technologies, Cast AI has continued to strengthen its position through global expansion and enterprise adoption. The company recently introduced OMNI Compute, a unified compute control plane designed to optimize workloads and PGU usage across cloud providers, while also surpassing a $1B valuation following strategic investment to support its long-term growth and international expansion.
