Channel Account Director - Strategic Partner Manager

Lumos (lumos.com) helps every company run a workforce of humans and AI agents safely.

As agents run more autonomously, companies need to know what they can access and control what they can do. Lumos is the identity platform for the agent era. We manage access for every human, machine and AI agent in one place. That way, companies can put AI to work across their business with confidence.

We serve Fortune 500 and high-growth technology companies, including Colgate-Palmolive, Johnson & Johnson and GitHub. Lumos is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Scale Venture Partners and Neo, along with leaders from OpenAI, Google, Salesforce and Anthropic.

Why Lumos?

• 🚀 Jump on a rocketship. Since launching out of stealth in April 2022, we've grown from 20 to ~130 Alchemists.

• ⭐ Customers love us — and so does the industry. Named a Strong Performer in the 2026 Gartner Voice of the Customer for IGA — 4.7/5, with 96% of reviewers saying they'd recommend us. Our customers cut time-to-access by 98%, slash IT tickets by 72%, and eliminate excess privilege at scale.

• 🏆 A culture worth joining. Three years running on Forbes' Top 100 Best Startup Employers in America (2024, 2025, 2026) — measured on culture, retention, growth, and job creation. That's our Alchemists, not our marketing. See what we live by here.

Role Overview:

Lumos helps enterprises govern who and what has access to their systems, and the "what" now includes AI agents. Some of our best deals come through partners, and we want many more of them.

As our Channel Account Director / Strategic Partner Manager, you'll own our most strategic security partners in the East. You'll spend your time where deals start: with partner sellers, in their territories and in their accounts.

✨ What you'll do

• Build partner-sourced pipeline seller by seller, and carry the number

• Teach partners our story - including identity security for AI agents, so their sellers can repeat it

• Run deal registration fast and fairly, so partners and our AEs trust you

• Co-sell live deals with our AEs and SEs, and help partners grow services revenue on Lumos

• Travel 40% to 50% across the East

🙌 What we're looking for

• 7+ years in sales, including 4+ years in vendor-side channel at a high-growth security company

• Deep relationships with enterprise security solution providers

• A seller first: you know your partner-sourced number cold, and you hit it with demonstrated understanding of MEDDPICC sales methodology

• Curious about AI agents. Identity experience is a plus, not a requirement

• Salesforce hygiene and deal management rigor

• Strong communication skills, operate with ethics, adaptability, grit and empathy

⭐️ What We Value:
We also care about whether you would be a good fit for Lumos based on the values and characteristics that define how we achieve outcomes, not just your resume.

Lumos is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, protected veteran status, disability, age, or other legally protected status. If you require any reasonable accommodations, please let us know at any time.

Thank you for considering Lumos, we hope to hear from you! 🎉
