About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and deliver the technical enablement curriculum for Zafran's channel partners, including resellers, MSSPs, MDR providers, and GSIs - from intro sessions through deep-dive certifications.
Run hands-on workshops, bootcamps, and lab environments that turn partner SEs and consultants into self-sufficient Zafran experts.
Develop and maintain partner-facing technical content: demo scripts, battle cards, competitive positioning, POV playbooks, and reference architectures.
Drive partner technical certification programs and measure partner readiness across pre-sales, deployment, and services skills.
Partner with channel account managers and partner sellers to support joint opportunities - leading or assisting with discovery, demos, POVs, and technical objection handling.
Coach partner SEs on Zafran's technical sales motion so they can independently run their own deals over time.
Engage directly with end-customer technical buyers alongside partners, including security architects, vulnerability management leaders, and CISOs.
Support strategic RFPs and RFIs sourced through the channel with differentiated technical input.
Work with MSSP and MDR partners to design Zafran-powered service offerings, helping them operationalize the platform for multi-tenant delivery.
Partner with GSIs and services partners to build repeatable Zafran deployment, integration, and remediation services packages.
Advise partners on operational best practices: tenant onboarding, integration design, workflow automation, and customer reporting.
Serve as the escalation point for partner technical questions during service design and early delivery.
Serve as the technical bridge between partners and Zafran's product, engineering, and customer success teams - surfacing partner and field feedback that influences roadmap priorities.
Collaborate closely with the field SE team to ensure consistent technical messaging between direct and partner motions.
Contribute to partner program design, tiering criteria, and technical requirements alongside the Channel leadership team.
Represent Zafran at partner summits, QBRs, joint marketing events, and industry conferences through demos, presentations, and on-stage sessions.
Stay current on threat intelligence, cybersecurity trends, and the evolving CTEM market to advise partners with credibility.
Evangelize Zafran's value proposition inside partner organizations to build internal champions across their sales, SE, and services teams.
