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.
