Castaigroupinc Account Executive at Cast AI responsible for building and scaling multi-tier partner programs and managing strategic GSI relationships. Leads and grows the Partner Account Manager team.
Responsibilities
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.
Qualification
Background at a digital-native companyWhat You'll OwnThe GSI motion
Required
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

Hands-on with the mechanics of a channel programme: deal registration, joint account planning, QBRs, co-sell motions, partner incentives

This role requires the candidate to be based in the U.S. Eastern or Central time zone to support close collaboration with our international teams.

The GSI motion, built from the ground up - recruitment, executive relationship-building, and joint go-to-market planning with systems integrators
