Description
X-PHY is an industry leader in cybersecurity technology, delivering cutting-edge solutions that proactively protect businesses from evolving cyber threats. We don’t just build products—we build the future. As a cybersecurity technology company, we are redefining industry standards, pushing boundaries, and creating transformative solutions to protect the digital world. Joining us isn’t just about securing a job—it’s about embarking on an entrepreneurial journey. Here, you don’t just work for the company; you grow with it. We seek visionaries who think beyond the ordinary, strategists who challenge the status quo, and action-takers who execute with intensity and precision. If you're ready to shape the future of cybersecurity, we want you on our team. Requirements About the Opportunity  We are seeking a highly energetic, ambitious, and driven Channel BDM (Business Development Manager - the role responsible for driving market growth and partner acquisition) to aggressively expand market presence across the Middle East for our cutting-edge cybersecurity hardware solutions. This role is designed for a professional with a relentless "hunter" mentality, a willingness to learn quickly, and the stamina to run across the market to close deals. This is not a role for managing the status quo; it requires establishing a robust partner ecosystem from the ground up and mastering the art of  solution selling  to position advanced cybersecurity hardware as a critical business enabler.   Key Responsibilities Market Expansion & Partner Acquisition Targeted Regional Expansion:  Spearhead aggressive market entry by executing a localized channel partner strategy. The primary focus will be on penetrating the UAE (United Arab Emirates - a primary business hub country in the Middle East) and KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - a major, high-growth market country in the Middle East). Lighthouse Account Strategy:  Hunt and secure high-profile "lighthouse" accounts (key, early-adopter clients that serve as a beacon to attract other regional customers) within these target countries. This involves working closely with top-tier SI (System Integrator - a business that builds computing systems for clients by combining hardware and software products) partners to establish immediate market credibility and accelerate broader regional adoption. Relentless In-Market Presence:  Maintain an aggressive and consistent travel schedule across the target regions. This is a true "boots on the ground" role focused on building face-to-face relationships, knocking on doors, and securing the critical meetings necessary to build a massive sales pipeline. Solution-Led Strategy:  Pivot partners away from transactional, feature-based selling. The role requires driving a  solution selling  strategy that bundles our cybersecurity hardware with partner services to solve specific, complex customer pain points (such as ransomware protection and critical infrastructure defence). Sales & Revenue Generation Target Ownership:  Take full ownership of sales targets by directly supporting partners in closing complex, high-value deals using consultative  solution selling  techniques. Pipeline Management:  Work closely with partners to build, track, and accelerate joint business plans, focusing on long-term customer outcomes and recurring value rather than one-off sales. Continuous Learning & Enablement Technical Mastery:  Demonstrate a strong willingness to learn the deep technical aspects of hardware-based cybersecurity to confidently educate and empower the partner network on the  solution selling  methodology. Partner Coaching:  Train partner sales teams on how to uncover deep-seated client needs, ask the right discovery questions, and position the hardware as the ultimate business solution in a highly competitive landscape.   Candi
