You're not maintaining—you're building. Most partnership roles are about managing existing programs. This one is about creating something from the ground up.

AI partnerships are wide open. We're moving aggressively into partnerships with Anthropic, OpenAI, Cohere, and emerging AI platforms. You'll be building these relationships before the ecosystem gets crowded.

You'll have real support. Budget, executive sponsorship, a defined strategy, and a team that will coordinate with you. We're not asking you to do this in a vacuum.

Your impact is measurable. Pipeline, revenue, and partnerships formalized. You'll know if you're winning.

Blue Orange Digital is an equal‑opportunity employer.
