Director, Strategic Partnerships

Black & White Zebra • Jersey City, NJ

1d • $140,000 - $160,000 • Remote

About The Position

This is a high-impact, zero-to-one role focused on personally driving and closing new revenue streams for BWZ.
You will work directly with enterprise buyers to sell and deliver integrated marketing programs that combine content, events, data, and demand generation into cohesive, outcome-driven solutions. Through these deals, you’ll play a central role in shaping how we bring new offerings to market; identifying where we can create the most value for customers, and turning that into scalable, repeatable revenue streams. You are not supporting sales, you are the one closing the deal.
Operating at the intersection of enterprise sales, product development, and go-to-market strategy, you’ll take early-stage ideas from concept to commercialization. You’ll lead high-value deals end-to-end, using real customer insight to refine positioning, pricing, and packaging. Then you'll translate what works into structured offerings that can scale across our platform.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity and wants to build. Success is defined not just by revenue closed, but by the creation of durable, high-value products that deepen partnerships, increase contract value, and expand BWZ’s role in our customers’ growth strategies.
You are the commercial owner of these deals — responsible for carrying them from first conversation through to signed contract.
