[Hiring] Director/Client Partner – Strategic Technology Accounts, Enterprise AI @Innodata

Role Description

The next wave of Enterprise AI adoption is being driven by the world's largest technology companies. These organizations are rapidly expanding investments across AI engineering, agentic AI, AI-ready data, evaluation and assurance, and managed AI operations. As a trusted partner to many of these organizations, Innodata is uniquely positioned to help them build, deploy, and scale production AI systems.

We are seeking a Director / Client Partner to drive growth across Innodata's strategic technology accounts portfolio. This is a senior account leadership role focused on expanding existing relationships and identifying new opportunities within major technology, hyperscaler, and AI platform companies. Unlike a traditional new-logo sales role, this position is centered on growing established accounts by opening new buying centers, building executive relationships, and expanding current engagements into larger Enterprise AI programs.

You will own account strategy, revenue growth, pipeline development, executive engagement, and commercial success across a portfolio of strategic technology customers. Working closely with Innodata's Field Delivery Executives, solution architects, AI specialists, and engineering leaders, you will help customers solve complex business challenges through Enterprise AI solutions and services.

Success in this role will come from your ability to expand wallet share, create new Enterprise AI opportunities, and build long-term strategic partnerships that drive measurable business outcomes for both Innodata and our customers.
