Senior Director Channel Marketing

Aeris Communications • Chicago, IL • 14h ago

For more than three decades, Aeris has been a trusted cellular IoT leader enabling the biggest IoT programs and opportunities across Automotive, Utilities and Energy, Fleet Management and Logistics, Medical Devices, and Manufacturing. Our IoT technology expertise serves a global ecosystem of 7,000 enterprise customers and 30 mobile network operator partners, and 80 million IoT devices across the world. Aeris powers today's connected smart world with innovative technologies and borderless connectivity that simplify management, enhance security, optimize performance, and drive growth.

Aeris is on a mission to build a new kind of channel ecosystem - and we need a strategic, execution-driven Channel Marketing Leader to help us make it real.

This is a strategic, hands-on role for someone who can both define the vision and execute with precision; a ground-up opportunity to architect, launch, and scale our channel marketing engine across MSPs, VARs, GSIs, Hardware OEMs, and TSDs - building the systems, content, and experiences that turn partners into force multipliers.

This isn't a 'maintain the machine' role. This role sits at the intersection of marketing, sales, and operations. You'll lead the creation of a best-in-class partner ecosystem, enablement toolkits, and scalable demand-gen engines. You'll collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Sales Enablement, Product, and RevOps to activate partners, accelerate pipeline, and drive measurable growth. This isn't about inheriting a legacy program - it's about building something new that drives Aeris' next phase of market expansion.
