I then establish joint pipeline targets and review conversion performance regularly, refining enablement and co-selling motions when results lag. What framework would you use to assess the health of an existing partnership portfolio? I would score partners against strategic fit, revenue and pipeline contribution, executive engagement, operational effectiveness, market reach, and future growth potential. This creates a clear basis for investment decisions, recovery plans, renewals, or exits. Describe how you would build a new partnership in an emerging area such as AI or retail media. I would first identify whitespace where the partner's capabilities complement our client needs and market positioning. After validating executive sponsorship and commercial potential, I would develop a joint business plan covering solution positioning, introductions, co-marketing, sales enablement, governance, and measurable success metrics. How do you align Sales, Marketing, and Client Services around a partner-led growth strategy? I create a shared operating rhythm with clear ownership, common account priorities, and transparent reporting on introductions, pipeline, revenue, and campaign performance. Regular cross-functional reviews ensure that partner activity reflects client demand and that teams can quickly remove execution barriers. How would you address an underperforming strategic partner relationship? I would diagnose whether the issue is strategic fit, insufficient executive sponsorship, unclear commercial processes, lack of enablement, or weak demand. I would then agree on a time-bound recovery plan with specific actions and metrics; if progress remains limited, I would reallocate resources to higher-value opportunities. ### 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).
