Role Overview:
The Director, Strategic Accounts is a senior leadership role responsible for owning, scaling, and institutionalizing a strategic joint venture between the consumer durables organization and a technology partner. This role carries enterprise-level accountability for revenue growth, partner success, and long-term commercial viability across products and platforms.
Operating at both strategic and execution levels, the Director serves as the lead partner, ensuring alignment across executive stakeholders, regional teams, and cross-functional leaders. This is not a traditional sales role, but a general management–oriented leadership position focused on building a scalable business venture.
Key Responsibilities

- Shape and evolve the long-term partnership strategy beyond initial launch, including roadmap alignment and expansion strategy
- Represent the partnership internally with senior leadership and externally with partner executives
- Own revenue targets, forecasting, and growth strategy for the joint venture
- Drive expansion across new products, regions, channels, and commercial models
- Partner closely with Finance and Business Management on pricing strategy, cost structure, margin optimization, and P&L visibility
- Ensure forecast accuracy and disciplined pipeline management
- Lead alignment across Product, Program Management, R&D, Marketing, Finance, Legal, Operations, and Regional Sales teams
- Translate partner needs into clear internal priorities and execution plans
- Ensure organizational readiness for launches, integrations, and global scale
- Influence and drive execution in a matrixed, HQ–subsidiary environment without direct authority
- Anticipate, manage, and resolve complex operational, commercial, and execution risks
- Lead critical issue resolution with urgency, structure, and accountability
- Ensure delivery quality, timelines, and partner satisfaction at an enterprise standard
- Help define operating model, roles, and processes required to scale the venture
- Contribute to long-term organizational design and capability development as the business matures
- Provide mentorship and direction to cross-functional leaders supporting the venture (direct reports may be added as the business scales)
