Channel Account Director

Every breach, every failed audit, every new hire stuck in onboarding purgatory traces back to the same question: who has access to what — and should they?

Identity is where modern companies break. Too much access leaks data. Too little grinds the business to a halt. Lumos is the industry's first Autonomous Identity Platform — software that doesn't just surface access risk, but acts on it. We started with a self-service AppStore and grew into the critical infrastructure connecting apps, identities, and data for GitHub, MongoDB, Mars, Pinterest, Anduril, Intercom, Roku, and Netskope. At the center is Albus, our AI agent for identity — mining roles, approving access, and catching the drift humans miss.

You'll ship work that thousands of IT and security teams touch every day. You'll own problems without playbooks, because the category is being redefined in real time — by us.

Why Lumos?

• 🚀 Jump on a rocketship. Since launching out of stealth in April 2022, we've grown from 20 to ~130 Alchemists and raised over $65M from a16z, Scale, Neo, Greg Brockman (President at OpenAI), and Phil Venables (CISO at Google).

• ⭐ 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.

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.

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.
