About Knox
Knox runs the largest Federal and DoW managed cloud, building and operating secure cloud and AI environments that support the U.S. government’s most critical missions — from national security and public safety to essential public services. Our customers rely on Knox to deploy production systems that meet the highest standards for security, reliability, and compliance.
Work at Knox is high-impact and purpose-driven. The problems we solve are high-stakes, the expectations are high, and the results are visible. Speed, rigor, and trust matter here - because the environments we secure cannot fail. Your contributions are visible, your expertise is relied upon, and the impact of your work is immediate and measurable. We operate at federal scale, securing some of the most sensitive government environments in the country - because the systems we build must perform without fail.
The Role
Knox Systems is seeking a strategic and dynamic Director of Channels to lead and expand our ecosystem of hyperscaler and Prime, VAR, and SI channel partners. This leadership role will be responsible for accelerating Knox's FedRAMP adoption strategy by enabling cloud hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and government resellers/primes (e.g., Carahsoft, GDIC, SAIC, and other federal solution partners) to drive customer transformation and compliance outcomes. You will shape and execute strategic channel initiatives that increase partner-influenced pipeline, expand joint go-to-market efforts, and deepen Knox's visibility and traction across public sector and enterprise markets.
Responsibilities
-
Lead strategic partnerships with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure alliance and field sales teams to drive adoption of Knox's FedRAMP-aligned solutions across hyperscaler customer bases.
-
Define and operationalize joint go-to-market plans, co-sell motions, marketplace positioning, referral models, and enablement programs that align Knox with hyperscaler priorities.
-
Cultivate executive sponsorships and maintain senior-level relationships across hyperscaler partner organizations to maximize collaboration and deal velocity.
-
Serve as the internal hyperscaler subject-matter advocate and escalation point for cross-functional execution spanning sales, product, and marketing teams.
-
Build and scale Knox's federal and public-sector indirect channel motion with key government partners such as Carahsoft, DGIC, SAIC, other GSA schedule holders, and system integrators.
-
Partner with channel organizations to identify target accounts, articulate value propositions tied to FedRAMP success, and co-deliver solution engagements.
