Channel Marketing Manager (B2B)

Hybrid - Birmingham | Up to £40,000

We're representing a leading technology distributor that works exclusively through the channel

• no end-user sales, no PPC, no direct lead generation.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Channel Marketing Manager who understands how to build brand visibility, strengthen vendor partnerships, and support sales through partners - not through paid campaigns.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of marketing activity across a diverse technology portfolio, working closely with vendors and reseller partners to plan and execute channel-focused campaigns.

This isn’t about running ads or chasing clicks – it’s about building relationships, enabling partners, and driving joint success through smart, creative marketing.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deliver joint marketing plans with vendor and partner teams
• Manage co-branded campaigns, events, and launch activities
• Coordinate vendor marketing funds (MDF), claims, and reporting
• Support internal sales teams with marketing collateral, promotions, and partner communications
• Oversee LinkedIn and brand awareness activity (no PPC or paid social)
• Build strong relationships with vendor marketing contacts to maximize engagement and ROI

About You

• Proven experience in channel, partner, or distributor marketing ideally within IT, tech, or telecoms
• Confident working with vendors and resellers on co-marketing campaigns
• Commercially minded with strong communication and organisational skills
• Comfortable juggling multiple projects and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment
• A proactive, relationship-driven marketer who thrives on collaboration

What's on Offer

Salary up to £40,000

• Hybrid working split between home and the Birmingham office
• A supportive, close-knit team culture
• The chance to work with leading global tech brands
• Real ownership and influence in shaping how partners experience the brand

If you’ve built your marketing career in the channel and you’re looking for a role that values relationships, collaboration, and partner success over clicks and conversions, this could be the perfect next step.
