What the job involves
- 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 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

- 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
Our take
The data science and AI sectors are experiencing rapid innovation, and this can make it difficult for businesses to future-proof their data engineering teams. Furthermore, scaling a data team also presents challenges as it can be difficult to find data scientist candidates that meet qualification and diversity standards.
Correlation One provides a recruitment platform for hiring, training and diversifying data scientist teams. It includes tools for targeted recruitment, assessing candidate data literacy, and identifying underrepresented staffing demographics. It also vets candidates for graduating leading courses, diversity programs, dataphones and competitions.
Whilst diversity-focused recruitment platforms will present competition for Correlation One, its unique all-in-one approach helps it stand out. The company claims that it can help its clients future-proof their teams against the rapid growth of data-driven AI, whilst empowering them to optimize staff quality, help underrepresented communities and meet diversity regulations.
