Your impact

As a Director of Strategic Client Partnerships, you will own a portfolio of enterprise client relationships and help clients translate AI workforce development into measurable business impact. You will be the strategic partner who understands the client’s business, maps the stakeholder landscape, identifies what value looks like, and mobilizes Correlation One teams to deliver against it.

This is a strategic account ownership role with delivery accountability. You will build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, shape account strategy, manage renewal and expansion risk, and turn client goals into clear roadmaps, operating plans, and growth opportunities.

You will own client outcomes from strategy through execution. That includes understanding the client’s business priorities, keeping complex workstreams moving, identifying risks before they escalate, and spotting where Correlation One can expand the relationship through additional programs, services, pilots, or enterprise-wide adoption.

This role is ideal for someone who is equal parts strategic account leader, executive relationship builder, commercial thinker, and cross-functional operator.

A day in the life

• Own the executive relationship map for enterprise clients, building trust with economic buyers, senior sponsors, program owners, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Build and manage strategic account plans that connect client priorities, program delivery, value realization, renewal health, and expansion opportunities.
• Orchestrate cross-functional teams across learning, program operations, product, marketing, analytics, sales, and leadership to deliver against client commitments and business outcomes.
• Anticipate delivery, adoption, stakeholder, renewal, and expansion risks. Create clear mitigation plans and drive internal accountability before issues become client escalations.
• Lead client check-ins, executive updates, and business reviews that translate program data, client feedback, and business context into decisions, next steps, and a clear value story.
• Identify renewal, upsell, cross-sell, and expansion opportunities by understanding the client’s business goals and shaping the right Correlation One solution around those goals.
• Create repeatable account-management practices, including stakeholder maps, account plans, transition templates, executive business review formats, value measurement tools, and renewal/expansion playbooks.
• Track and report on the metrics that matter: client health, stakeholder engagement, program quality, learner adoption, business impact, renewal risk, expansion readiness, and account growth.
• Partner with Sales and Growth leadership on commercial strategy, SOW development, renewal planning, and expansion sequencing.

Your expertise

• 8 to 12+ years of experience in strategic account management, enterprise client success, consulting, business transformation, workforce transformation, or complex program delivery.
• Proven ability to own complex enterprise relationships from strategy through execution, including stakeholder management, delivery oversight, value realization, renewal health, and expansion planning.
• Exceptional relationship-building skills with enterprise-level stakeholders,
• Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to turn complex information into clear narratives, crisp recommendations, and actionable next steps.
• Ability to drive alignment across internal teams without relying on formal authority. You know how to create momentum, clarify ownership, and keep people moving toward the client outcome.
• Strong business judgment and organizational acumen with the ability to prioritize competing initiatives, manage risk, navigate ambiguity, and balance near-term delivery with long-term account growth.
• A consultative and commercial mindset, with the ability to identify expansion opportunities, shape a point of view, and earn the right to the next client problem through excellent delivery and trusted-advisor credibility.
• Experience and interest in workforce development, digital transformation, education, Artificial Intelligence, and technology sectors preferred.
