  • Support agency and WPP growth teams with partner resources and solutions on all key pitches
  • Engage directly with the WPP CEO and Executive Team, agency CEOs, and the WPP Board on topics related to partners
  • Engage directly with other members of the WPP CTO team to enable partner-related workstreams for key development areas such as AI and WPP Open
Measures of Success
  • In 3 months, you will engage the current Partner Team, review current projects and in-flight activity, agree OKRs for 2025, and meet all key partner stakeholders and leadership.
  • In 6 months, you will develop a detailed partner sales pipeline, meet and engage all WPP agency leadership, develop, test, and roll out an AI partner strategy, including the organizational changes to deliver this strategy.
  • In one year, you will grow partner-attached revenue by 25%, closely align the Partner Strategy with the WPP product strategy (WPP Open, Studios, Brains), and develop a scalable, repeatable commercial model for partner technology integrations into WPP Open.
About You

We are looking for an open and optimistic leader who values extraordinary work, ideas, and people. You should have a strong conceptual thinker with an innate focus on the future and the ability to imagine what 'could be' vs. what exists today. You should also have a high tolerance for ambiguity with the ability to focus and execute effectively in a fast-changing environment.

We are seeking a pro-active, lead-from-the-front attitude with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and deliver both as a sole contributor or as part of a team. You should have strong commercial acumen and negotiation abilities, as well as an ambitious and highly-driven individual with high degrees of perseverance, determination, and resilience.
