About The Team

The strategy team at Kensho drives both co-innovation of emerging AI capabilities and value realization of Kensho’s AI products, both internally within S&P Global (e.g., Market Intelligence, Ratings) and externally with top financial institutions and AI partners globally.

About The Role

This role sits at the intersection of AI partnership development and strategic customer success, with roughly equal time across both motions. You will shape and execute our global AI partnerships agenda — from initial qualification through operational launch — while simultaneously owning the success of a focused portfolio of strategic accounts worldwide, helping them unlock full value across our API, enterprise products, and developer tooling.

This is a builder’s role for self-initiators. You will operate with significant autonomy, define playbooks that don’t yet exist, and carry real commercial responsibility across both pillars.

What You’ll Do:

• Execute Kensho and S&P Global’s AI partnerships agenda. Develop deep relationship with our established partners and identify new impactful opportunities, ensuring Kensho is on the front seat of latest technology release across AI Ecosystem

• Serve as the day-to-day owner to maintain relationships with existing partners and identify growth opportunities — develop partnership debriefs, run cadenced reviews, coordinate with Kensho and S&P Global’s marketing, product, and engineering team to execute joint release efforts with partners

• Lead cross-functional coordination and alignment across sales, product, and legal to unblock deals, close partner commitments, and drive expansion

• Own a portfolio of strategic clients, understand their AI strategy, business objectives, and organizational dynamics, and drive measurable adoption and expansion through Kensho’s forward deployed engineering motion. Proactively identify levers to enable deal renewals for strategic clients

• Enable conversion from trials and identify levers to accelerate time-to-value during the post-sale phase for strategic clients

• Problem-solve issues with both internal teams and client teams as they arise from partnership or client engagements, partnering with key stakeholders to ensure projects executed within timeline

What You'll Need:

• Experience with financial institutions, investment banking, etc.

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills

• Technical fluency to engage credibly with developers, PMs, and technical buyers on AI/ML concepts, APIs, and software implementation patterns

• Track record of managing complex, senior-level relationships

• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and build structure where none exists

• Willingness to travel up to 25% for partnership and client needs

How to Really Get Our Attention:

• Experience in Customer Success, Technical Account Management, Engagement management, Partner Management, or a hybrid role spanning both

• Deep familiarity with the AI landscape — direct experience working with or for companies across the AI technology stack

• Experience driving commercial outcomes across both consumption-based and seat-based business models

• Comfort operating across business cultures; ability to build credibility with stakeholders in diverse markets

• A bias toward execution — energized by shipping and owning outcomes

At Kensho, we pride ourselves on providing top-of-market benefits, including:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance

• 100% company paid premiums

• Unlimited Paid Time Off

• 26 weeks of 100% paid Parental Leave (paternity and maternity)
