Role Description The Chief MSP Officer will architect WatchGuard's MSP growth engine, a commercial, community-driven function built to shift brand perception, accelerate partner recruitment, and generate measurable revenue in the MSP segment. - This is a build with a clear arc. - Year one is presence and momentum, getting into the right rooms and conversations, which immediately bolsters partner recruitment. - Year two introduces owned infrastructure, revenue-generating communities and enablement resources that convert momentum into pipeline. - Year three is the flywheel, a self-reinforcing engine where brand, community, and enablement drive each other. Qualifications - You've run something real, a business unit, a market segment, a community that generated commercial outcomes. - You can command a room of skeptical MSP operators and hold your own at an exec table. - You've been close enough to the market to know what's broken and frustrated enough by the gap between insight and action. - You want to build something you can point to. Requirements - An external presence at the events, peer groups, and industry stages where MSPs make decisions, representing WatchGuard with consistency and credibility. - Early partner recruitment impact driven by relationships and reputation before the owned infrastructure even exists. - Revenue-generating MSP communities and enablement platforms, designed and owned by WatchGuard, launched in year two. - Internal advocacy that carries real MSP signal into product, packaging, and GTM decisions, and actually moves them. Benefits - Partner recruitment starts accelerating in year one as market presence builds. - Owned community and enablement infrastructure launches in year two and begins generating measurable pipeline. - By year three, the MSP growth engine runs with its own momentum and WatchGuard is a recognized, sought-after name in the ecosystem. - The MSP voice has a permanent seat at the leadership table, and you can point to decisions that changed because of it.
