About the Role

The Senior Director, Strategy & Execution owns go-to-market strategy and execution governance for PSI, a global leader in assessment and workforce solutions serving the professional certification, licensure, and government assessment markets through an owned portfolio of assessment products and multiple routes to market. The role is accountable for translating corporate and business unit objectives into a clear, prioritized GTM strategy across all motions - direct, channel, and partner - and for building the operating cadence, roadmaps, and governance that ensure the strategy is executed with accountability and pace. The role also owns the long-range plan (LRP) and the portfolio of core growth bets, from opportunity sizing and market testing through to route-to-market recommendations.

The role also directly owns the channel, alliances, and partner marketing function, including partner enablement across the portfolio. The Senior Director leads the channel, alliances, and partner marketing team, and works hand-in-hand with the enterprise Alliances leadership to develop co-marketing and joint go-to-market strategies with strategic partners. As operating cadence, roadmaps, and governance mature, the role is expected to define and stand up a Strategy Enablement / Project Management capability to scale execution support.

Sitting on the leadership team of the commercial operations, strategy, and marketing organization, the Senior Director operates as a cross-functional leader: supporting the General Managers of the business units that sit within the commercial office - and the wider business - on strategic direction, and working in combination with all commercial functions, spanning demand generation, integrated marketing, product marketing and commercialization, and commercial and revenue operations. A key partnership is with the corporate insights team, leveraging market insights and data to inform strategic direction, prioritization, and performance management.

This role is a full-time permanent position, flexible from Monday to Friday during typical office hours. There will be occasional requirements to work non-traditional hours including evenings or weekends, and occasional domestic and international travel for events, meetings, and workshops. Day-to-day, this role can be performed remotely.
