The Distribution Sales Account Manager (DAM) is responsible for owning and scaling Sophos Italy’s volume partner ecosystem, working primarily through the distributor network.
The DAM acts as the central bridge between distributors, Channel Account Executives, and Commercial teams. Success in this role is driven by renewals execution, partner activation, automation, and scale, rather than traditional one‑to‑one account ownership. The ideal candidate is a confident channel professional who can influence without authority, manage complexity, and operate effectively in a high‑volume environment.
