Job Description

Senior Director for Strategic Partnership Management & Program Operations at Pathstream. Leading client relationships and internal teams for successful program execution.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for our Fortune 50 client stakeholders — building trusted relationships at multiple levels and translating their feedback and requirements into internal action
  • Identify, pursue, and grow relationships with relevant business partners to support the program
  • Represent Pathstream's interests confidently and diplomatically; navigate competing priorities with clarity and care
  • Draft and review internal and external communications related to the client relationship — from executive updates to partner-facing summaries
  • Directly guide our operations and marketing teams on an ongoing basis — diagnosing what's driving or inhibiting recruitment, program completion, user engagement, and job placement, and directing team focus accordingly
  • Track program performance closely: understand the data, identify insights, and ensure the team is intervening effectively when metrics need attention. Anticipate risks and surface tradeoffs early; proactively drive course corrections without waiting to be escalated to
  • Evaluate and give substantive feedback on learner-facing marketing — bringing strong instincts on what drives quality applications, program completion, sustained coaching engagement, and ultimately job placement; hold the bar on campaign strategy, not just execution
  • Identify longer-term opportunities and surface them to our engineering, product, and learning design teams
  • Continuously translate learnings about what's working — and what isn't — into more efficient, scalable operational processes and systems

Requirements:

  • 7+ years in program management, strategic partnerships, or a related role — ideally with experience managing a large enterprise or consumer-facing partner
  • Strong analytical skills: you're comfortable pulling and interpreting data and communicating findings clearly to non-technical audiences
  • Exceptional written communication — you can write a crisp executive summary, a thoughtful partner email, or substantive feedback on a marketing campaign
  • Proven track record of driving alignment across multiple internal teams without direct authority
  • Strategic thinker who can zoom out to set direction and zoom in to unblock execution
  • Strong intuition for consumer-facing marketing strategy — you can assess whether a campaign will drive the right learner behaviors and push back when it won't
  • Comfortable with ambiguity; you're energized by broad ownership, not intimidated by it
  • Experience working with or at large enterprise partners; prior strategy consulting experience a plus

Benefits:

  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage for you and 50% for your partner/spouse and dependents
  • Health, commuter, and parking flexible spending accounts
  • Employee Assistance Program (mental health, financial health, legal support, and more)
  • Free access to wellbeing apps like Ginger and Headspace
  • Flexible paid time off and paid holidays
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Short and long-term disability insurance
  • Annual professional development budget
  • Company-provided laptop
  • Remote-first culture
  • Life insurance (100% company paid)
  • 401(k)
