Founded in 2017, Obsidian Security was created to close a critical gap: securing the SaaS applications where modern business happens—platforms like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and hundreds more. 
 
Backed by top investors including Greylock, Norwest Venture Partners, and IVP, we’ve built a complete SaaS security platform to reduce risk, detect and respond to threats, and prevent breaches at the source. Our team includes leaders who helped define the categories of endpoint and identity security at CrowdStrike, Okta, Cylance, and Carbon Black. 
 
Now, we’re transforming how SaaS is secured—in the era of agentic AI. 
 
Today, Obsidian is trusted by global enterprises like Snowflake, T-Mobile, and Pure Storage. We protect more than 200 organizations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand—including many of the world’s largest Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies.
 
With strong global momentum, a growing partner ecosystem including SentinelOne, Databricks, and Google Cloud, and a major fundraise on the horizon, we’re scaling quickly toward long-term growth and IPO readiness. Join us as we define the future of SaaS security!

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with regional field teams to align on territory priorities, partner alignment, and deal execution.
  • Collaborate with marketing on regional partner campaigns, event sponsorships, and content localization.
  • Work with sales ops and finance on territory forecasting, tracking, and partner ROI analysis.
Who You Are

  • Proven track record building and managing successful regional VAR relationships both regionally and nationally.
  • Strong understanding of reseller business models, sales cycles, and regional market dynamics.
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator with experience working in matrixed, cross-functional teams.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, startup environment and knows how to build from scratch.
  • Ability to travel throughout the U.S. as needed (~25%).
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working with security-focused VARs (e.g., GuidePoint, Optiv, Presidio, etc.)
  • Familiarity with SaaS and security platforms like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, or identity providers.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
