About DataCamp
Data and AI skills are critical for thriving today, and DataCamp is the platform that empowers everyone to learn them. We help individuals and Fortune 1000 companies close the data and AI skills gap through world-class learning, hands-on training, and a global community of expert instructors.
About the Role
This is a player-coach role that reports to our Content organization. You will own the partnership strategy end-to-end, personally close the deals that define it, and then build a small team behind you as the function grows. Here's what your day-to-day will look like:
- Own DataCamp's partnership strategy for curriculum: which content providers, technology vendors, and marquee experts we partner with, in what order, and why.
- Source, negotiate, and close partnerships—licensed and co-branded content, official vendor certifications, and marquee instructor deals.
- Build and manage senior relationships across the AI, data, and cloud ecosystem, from partner leadership through to their content and product teams.
- Work with curriculum, product, legal, and marketing to take partnerships from signed agreement to live content that learners actually complete.
- Define what a high-quality partner looks like for DataCamp and hold the bar—prioritizing depth and learner impact over volume of logos.
- Own the commercial and contractual side of partnerships, including licensing terms, revenue share, and instructor agreements.
- Hire, coach, and grow a small partnerships team over time, while continuing to carry your own portfolio of relationships.
- Report on partnership performance to leadership, and make the call on which partnerships to double down on and which to retire.
