For over 30 years, WatchGuard has been a leader in the cybersecurity realm, earning the trust of organizations worldwide. Central to our mission is the Managed Service Provider (MSP) community, which we have supported as it has grown and evolved. Our commitment to understanding, serving, and delivering security through this community has never been stronger. We are looking for a visionary to take our dedication to the next level, cultivating an ecosystem that fosters community relationships and drives our leadership in the MSP market.

In your first year, you will focus on establishing our presence and gaining momentum, engaging with key stakeholders to enhance partner recruitment. The second year will see the introduction of proprietary infrastructure, revenue-generating communities, and enablement resources that transform momentum into a robust sales pipeline. By year three, you will have built a self-sustaining ecosystem where brand recognition, community engagement, and enablement synergistically drive one another.
Your Profile
You possess a proven track record of leading successful business units, market segments, or communities that deliver tangible commercial results. Your ability to engage a room of skeptical MSP operators and contribute meaningfully at executive levels sets you apart. With a keen understanding of market dynamics, you are ready to bridge the gap between insight and action, eager to create something impactful that you can proudly showcase.
