Sr. Director, VAR & Channel Partnerships at vClusterLabs, Remote

Sr. Director, VAR & Channel Partnerships at vClusterLabs, remote. $225,000 to $280,000 a year. Apply with swipeandhired.

As Sr. Director, VAR & Channel Partnerships at vCluster Labs, you aren’t just signing reseller agreements; you are building and leading the global partner channel that lets the world’s AI infrastructure resellers sell tenant isolation without us in the room.
Enterprises do not buy AI infrastructure one product at a time. They buy it from the reseller who already holds the paper, the services capacity, and the trust. Your first targets are the partners where our path to the money is right now: WWT and Computacenter, then SHI, CDW, and the national and regional VARs that actually sell AI infrastructure. You can pull in distributors, and the OEM and ISV partners your peers own, where they accelerate a deal; the global system integrators (Accenture, Deloitte, EY) stay with the VP.
This is a founding, zero-to-one role on a first-year partner program. You start as an individual contributor: there is no channel to inherit, and you will carry the first partners and the first number yourself. As the channel proves out, you will hire and lead the team that scales it globally. Success is measured in partner-sourced bookings, transacting partners, and registered deals that close. Not in logos signed.

About vCluster Labs
We're the #1 platform for AI infrastructure, trusted by the world's fastest-growing AI cloud builders. We're a venture-backed startup that's raised over $28M from top-tier investors including Khosla Ventures (first investor in OpenAI, GitLab, Stripe, and DoorDash), and we're in a hyper-growth phase looking for motivated people to join our team. Our headquarters are in San Francisco (Salesforce Tower), but our team is distributed around the globe with a remote-first culture.
We give AI Cloud providers and AI factories a hyperscaler-like experience on their own GPU infrastructure. Our platform runs the full stack an operator needs, from bare metal provisioning and node lifecycle management up through managed Kubernetes, Slurm, Ray, and inference clusters, so they can turn raw GPUs into cluster products they can sell in days instead of spending 12+ months building it themselves. Today we power over 100,000 GPUs and 1 million CPUs across 50+ AI clouds and Fortune 500 companies, backed by a team of 40+ infrastructure engineers who build alongside our customers rather than just shipping them software.
We're the company behind vCluster, the open source technology for tenant isolation on Kubernetes, with 11,000+ GitHub stars and 40M+ tenant clusters created since 2021. Open source is part of our DNA. At KubeCon North America 2025, we launched our Infrastructure Tenancy Platform for AI, a Kubernetes-native framework built for running AI, ML, and GPU-intensive workloads anywhere, with an NVIDIA-validated reference architecture for DGX systems.
