Partnerships Director

Job Overview Job Title: Partnerships Director Team Lead Job Location(s): NYC/London - Full Time Salary Range: $100K-$150K Visa Sponsorship: Not available at this time. Company Overview CreativeX is a B2B SaaS technology platform that helps global marketing teams make smarter creative decisions and elevate creative expression through data clarity. Our technology powers creative decision‑making at some of the biggest brands in the world, including Google, Unilever, Pepsi, Bayer, Mondelez, Heineken, and more. Using computer vision and other machine learning techniques, we extract creative data from clients’ digital advertising copy and convert previously dark signals into a standardised data model at industrial scale. This creates a powerful first‑party data set that represents the last and most impactful untapped reservoir of advertising performance. Studies show that the creative element is responsible for half of sales lift online, higher than reach, targeting, brand, and recency combined. However, creative impact has always been the least analysed and understood component of a complex set of marketing variables. That’s the problem we’re focused on solving. We provide an end‑to‑end solution to ingest, process, and analyse content at scale. We help brands isolate creative elements so they can be analysed against downstream ad impact metrics, from click‑through rates to brand lift. Our objective is to power every creative decision in marketing organisations with data. Partnerships Team The CreativeX Partnerships team engages the full marketing ecosystem that supports our brand customers, advertising platforms, agencies and holding companies, tech and AI alliances, measurement and attribution providers, and solution integrators.
