The opportunity

Channel Insider, part of TechnologyAdvice, is looking for an experienced Account Director to become the first dedicated EMEA channel sales specialist within our growing EMEA business.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior, highly visible, first feet on the ground role with the mandate to help shape, launch, and scale Channel Insider’s EMEA commercial presence. You will join TechnologyAdvice at an exciting stage of growth, with the backing of an established global business, a strong brand portfolio, proven demand generation capabilities, and a leadership team committed to building something meaningful in the EMEA channel market.

This is a senior, quota-carrying role with ownership of the full sales cycle. You will identify and develop high-value client relationships, engage senior marketing and channel decision-makers, uncover commercial challenges, and position tailored solutions across digital brand, content, events, audience engagement, and demand generation.

The successful candidate will be someone who knows the channel ecosystem, understands how vendors and partners go to market, and can bring credibility, confidence, and commercial energy into senior client conversations.

While you will be accountable for your own revenue number, you will not be building in isolation. You will have the support of TechnologyAdvice’s senior leadership, client success, delivery, marketing, StudioA, product, sales enablement, SDRs, and the wider global business. This is a role for someone who wants ownership, visibility, pace, and the opportunity to make a genuine mark on a developing market.
