Private: DIRECTOR, PARTNER SOLUTIONS – NORTHEAST
Posted on: September 20, 2022

O’Donnell Learn+ISG’s mission is to change the way the world learns. We are the learning experience company. To deliver on this mission, we leverage a people-centric learning experience design, data, and technology to ensure every educator is capable of creating the best experience for their learning community.
Quietly, we’ve been developing a platform combining technology and services (Nectar ™ ) that provides educators on-demand access to the infrastructure and support they need to deliver memorable learning experiences that connect with their learners. Fundamental to this vision is our Nectar ™ technology. It is designed to serve as the hub for instructors to innovate their teaching and develop their learning experiences to meet the demands of modern learners. Included with our platform is our Concierge Team, comprising teaching and learning specialists who work with educators to support everything in their teaching flow, from ideation to course delivery. Nectar ™ is designed uniquely for modern educators and the instructional champions that serve them.
As Director, Partner Solutions, you’ll be dedicated to identifying and establishing new, long-term partnerships with private and public higher education institutions. Your goal will be to architect, propose and close partner-specific solutions leveraging the Nectar™ platform and Faculty Concierge services. You will leverage your deep understanding of higher education academic and business decision-making processes to effectively and efficiently guide opportunities from introduction through procurement. Leveraging your deep and broad-base of client-colleagues and O’Donnell Learn+ISG’s existing relationships, you will expand the Nectar™-Faculty Concierge footprint across an assigned region and strategic partner prospects.
In this role you will…
- Have an opportunity to bring a unique and modern faculty support platform (services and technology) to your existing client-colleague portfolio – guiding their transition to high-quality learning experience design and delivery across the institution.
- Focus your partner development efforts on expanding the adoption of Nectar ™ and Faculty Concierge services across an assigned region leveraging your client-colleague portfolio, existing O’Donnell Learn+ISG partner base and new partner development funnels.
- Carry out your duties under minimal supervision but with lots of support from Executive Leadership, Learning Services, Marketing, and Growth Support teams.
- Apply a consultative and solutions architecture approach to developing partner-specific faculty support and learning design solutions leveraging a broad range of faculty support components offered through the Nectar ™ platform. No cookie-cutter solutions.
- Work closely with the Senior Vice President, Growth and Product Strategy to devise annual partnership growth objectives, strategies and targets to successfully meet partner and corporate strategic initiatives.
- More importantly, you will work side-by-side with prospective partner stakeholders to understand their strategic and immediate learning experience needs, including Chief Academic Officers, Provosts, Board Members, Presidents, CEOs, and distance, online, and learning innovation leaders.
- Work closely with the Growth Marketing team to influence campaigns aimed at increasing your access to key prospect influencers and decision makers.
- Work closely with Learning Services to develop and confirm your solutions’ viability to meet partner objectives and O’Donnell Learn+ISG’s quality learning and financial objectives.
