Senior Channel Account Manager, Nordics

About the Role

Abnormal AI stops the cyberattacks that traditional security tools miss, and our partner ecosystem is one of the fastest-growing engines behind that mission. We're looking for a Senior Channel Account Manager to lead and grow our Nordics region (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark) as part of our Channel Management team.

This is a chance to take real ownership of an entire region. You'll build and energize relationships with leading Nordic security partners, run account mapping sessions, shape go-to-market and Partner Account Plans, and team up with our marketing organization to bring channel events to life. You'll also partner closely with our Nordics distributor to recruit and onboard the partners who will power our next phase of growth. If you love building something big, working at pace, and being the driving force behind a region's success, this role is for you.

About You

You're a channel sales professional with serious sales DNA and multiple years of experience turning partner relationships into real growth. You know that pipeline is the lifeblood of the business, and you bring a sharp, proven methodology for consistently generating partner-sourced pipeline and bookings. You bring high energy and a high level of activity to everything you do: from account mapping sessions to Partner Account Plans to the channel-marketing events that get partners excited to sell with us.

You build genuine, lasting relationships with key information security partners across the region, national players and local specialists alike, and you're just as comfortable in the boardroom with a CEO as you are training a partner's sales floor. You're highly analytical, detail-oriented, and a natural communicator and presenter who can make Abnormal's value click for any audience. You're organized, proactive, and quick to flag progress or risk in the moment rather than letting things go quiet, and you thrive on the grit and creativity it takes to build a region from the ground up.
