VP, Strategic Technical Partnerships

Job description

**PURPOSE:** The Predictive Index—the talent optimization leader—is an award-winning best place to work (Inc., Glassdoor, Boston Business Journal, The Boston Globe). Our mission is “Better work, Better world,” and we take great pride in PI’s power to supercharge workplace relationships and culture to achieve the unthinkable. We’re our own best case study! You’ll be working toward a mission that inspires you, and you’ll be surrounded by fun, smart, driven people day in and day out. There’s a reason more than 10,000 companies—including The LA Clippers, Hugo Boss, Nissan, Pendo, AstraZeneca, and Bosch—trust PI to help them hire top talent, design winning teams, and develop leaders at every level. Come discover how we empower our clients to solve their biggest challenges and make their business dreams come true. *The Predictive Index is a place where people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives collaborate on amazing, important work. We celebrate our differences, knowing that they are fundamental to our success as an organization. “Better Work, Better World,” starts here, in an organization where every member of the PI community is valued, respected, and welcome. We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply.* The Predictive Index has spent 70 years building the behavioral science that helps companies hire and lead better. That science only matters in the AI era if it shows up where work actually happens; inside HR systems of record, inside the AI assistants employees use every day, inside the tools where teams already collaborate. None of those surfaces will come to us. They get built, deal by deal. That's this role. ## **What you'll own** We're hiring a senior partnership leader to own the relationships that will define PI's next decade. Three partnership ecosystems, end to end: strategy through signed deal through live integration: - **HR technology platforms.** Workday, ADP, UKG, Greenhouse, Rippling, and the next tier of HRIS, ATS, and talent platforms. Moving us from surface-level syncs to native, embedded integrations. - **AI platforms.** Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google. Expanding PI's MCP and LLM platform presence so our behavioral data becomes the grounding layer for AI-mediated people decisions. - **Productivity surfaces.** Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, Zoom — putting PI inside the tools knowledge workers live in. You'll also structure the commercial models behind each partnership, and build the function over time as it scales. ## **What we're looking for** - 12+ years in strategic technology partnerships in enterprise software, including 5+ leading the function or owning a partnership P&L - A track record signing and operating partnerships with major platform companies. We want someone who has done this personally, not managed people who have. - Real fluency in technically deep, API-first integrations, not channel or referral partnerships - Working knowledge of today's AI ecosystem: MCP, LLM platform integrations, agent registries, developer relations - Executive presence to open doors at the senior-most levels of a Workday or an Anthropic, and hold your own once inside - Patience for the long game. These deals are measured in quarters. - HR tech or adjacent enterprise experience preferred. We'll support your ramp on the ecosystem specifics. ## **Why now** This is one of the most consequential commercial bets PI makes in the next three years, and it needs a dedicated senior owner. PI is headquartered in Westwood, MA and is geo-flexible across the United States. This is an exempt, salaried position starting at $150,000 plus variable compensation (including bonus and equity) with full access to PI’s benefits package, including unlimited PTO and 401(k). **At The Predictive Index, we value flexibility. All PI employees have the choice to work either at our Westwood, MA headquarters, Remote, or a mix of both!** Just as our employees are threads in the cultural fabric of PI, THREADS is our framework for understanding our core values. **Teamwork**: Focus on the “we,” not the “me.” **Honesty**: Follow your moral compass. **Reliability**: Be someone others can count on. **Energy**: Be balanced, be energized. **Action**: Errors of action are better than errors of inaction. Be brave. **Drive**: Own it. **Scope**: Don't try to boil the ocean. **The Predictive Index participates in E-Verify. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility.** The Predictive Index is an Equal Opportunity Employer. This position may be performed in our Massachusetts headquarters or remotely within the United States. #LI-REMOTE
