Director, Channel Partnerships

Director, Channel Partnerships Location: The Director, Channel Partnerships is a remote, work-from-home role, as are all positions at Acceleration Partners (a structure central to our culture and vision to change the work/life paradigm). Some travel is required for client meetings, internal meetings, conferences, and other events. Candidates should be based in the U.S. Role Purpose: Acceleration Partners is seeking a commercially-minded Strategic Partnerships leader to build and grow a high-value agency partner ecosystem that generates measurable business growth. This role owns both the health of our existing strategic partnerships and the development of new relationships that create pipeline, revenue and market influence. Working across Sales, Marketing, Strategy and Client Services, this person will ensure partnerships become a scalable commercial growth channel rather than simply a network of relationships. The Opportunity: The role has two equally important priorities: • Own and optimize AP's existing portfolio of strategic and technology partnerships, ensuring every relationship has clear objectives, governance and commercial value. • Build new partnerships across adjacent ecosystems—including AI, retail media, social commerce, consultancies, agencies, technology providers and investors—that create new routes to market and commercial opportunity. Success will be measured by pipeline generated, revenue influenced, strength of strategic relationships and the market intelligence brought back into the business. Key Responsibilities: Existing Partnership Management
