Director, Channel Partnerships

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Location", "Role Purpose", "The Opportunity", "Key Responsibilities", "Skills & Experience", "Measures Of Success", "Success In The First Year", "AP Perks And Benefits", "Salary". We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each section heading. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide which sections to include: - About the role: could combine Location and Role Purpose and The Opportunity? Probably "About the role" section includes location, purpose, opportunity. We'll put a

with that info. - Responsibilities: from Key Responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "Skills & Experience". Could split into Requirements (maybe years experience) and Skills (specific). But we can combine into Skills section. The instruction: use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Skills (maybe also Requirements/Qualifications). We have "Skills & Experience" which includes years, industry experience, pipeline ownership, etc. That could be Requirements (years) and Skills (specific). But we can put all under Skills heading. However we need to avoid empty headings. We'll include Skills. - Benefits: AP Perks And Benefits section. - Pay: Salary section. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; there is mention of remote work, travel, but no schedule details like full-time, hours. So we should NOT create Schedule section because no specific content. - Requirements and Qualifications: Could we extract from "Skills & Experience" like "7+ years in partnerships..." that's a requirement. Could put under Requirements. But we also have "Skills & Experience" includes skills. Might be better to split: Requirements heading for years, experience, etc. Skills heading for specific abilities. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into Skills section only. But we have to follow the allowed headings list; we can omit Requirements and Qualifications if no distinct content. However we have some requirement-like content (7+ years, experience managing portfolio, etc.) Could be considered Requirements. But we can also treat them as Skills. I'd combine into Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to format lists with

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Location paragraph: "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." We can combine these into About the role paragraph(s). Might be multiple

  tags. Responsibilities: list under Key Responsibilities with subheadings Existing Partnership Management, New Partnership Development, Commercial & Revenue Accountability, Cross-functional Leadership, Market Intelligence & External Representation. Each has bullet points. We need to output as

  • items. Should we keep subheadings? Probably not as headings; just incorporate into list items. Could keep as part of li text. Let's extract each bullet: Existing Partnership Management: - Own AP's portfolio of strategic and vendor partnerships. - Implement a structured framework for partnership health, governance, renewals and executive engagement. - Identify underperforming relationships and create recovery plans. - Own referral routing and ensure opportunities progress through the commercial pipeline. New Partnership Development: - Identify and secure new strategic partners across adjacent markets. - Build executive relationships and create joint business plans, referral programmes and co-selling opportunities. - Identify when relationships should evolve into formal commercial agreements and support negotiations. - Continuously identify emerging partnership opportunities and strategic whitespace. Commercial & Revenue Accountability: - Own partner-sourced pipeline and revenue targets. - Measure both introductions created and commercial outcomes delivered. - Report performance and recommend investment priorities. Cross-functional Leadership: - Partner with Sales on target accounts, introductions and joint pursuits. - Work with Marketing on co-marketing, events, webinars and thought leadership. - Collaborate with Strategy and Client Services to ensure partner activity aligns with client needs and market opportunities. Market Intelligence & External Representation: - Represent AP at conferences and industry events. - Become a recognized industry voice within the partnership ecosystem. - Bring back competitor intelligence, AI developments, customer trends and partnership opportunities to influence strategy and propositions. Now Skills & Experience: - 7+ years in partnerships, alliances, business development or related roles. - Services / consulting industry experience is preferred - Demonstrated ownership of pipeline and revenue targets. - Experience managing a portfolio of strategic partnerships. - Excellent executive relationship-building and communication skills. - Commercially minded with strong organizational discipline. - Experience in digital marketing, affiliate, retail media or marketing technology desirable. - Willingness to travel and represent AP externally. Measures Of Success: maybe could be considered part of Benefits? Not exactly. It's more like success metrics. Could be included under About the role? But we already have that. Might be redundant. The instruction: include a section only when posting has real specific content. Measures Of Success is specific content. Could be placed under a heading like "Success Metrics" but not in allowed list. Since not allowed, we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to incorporate into About the role as part of opportunity. But we already covered opportunity. Could add a paragraph under About the role about success measures. However we must not invent headings. We can add a

    under About the role that includes that. Success In The First Year: also specific content. Could be included under About the role as well. AP Perks And Benefits: list. Salary: paragraph. Now we need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO statement, GLSDR etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:
