[Hiring] Director of Data Sourcing @YipitData (Alternative)

Role Description

YipitData’s product portfolio is underpinned by a growing set of strategic data partnerships. Each partnership acts as a growth driver for the business, unlocking new product development opportunities and expanding our sector coverage.

We currently have ~40 active data partnerships and are looking to hire a senior, Director-level individual contributor to scale this motion. This role sits at the intersection of corporate development, strategy, and product.

The Director, Strategic Data Partnerships, will:

• Identify, evaluate, and execute exclusive, long-cycle data partnerships that meaningfully shape our future product direction.
• Engage directly with CEOs and senior executives — many of whom have not previously monetized their data — to assess opportunity and build alignment.
• Lead discovery and diligence processes to understand data quality, defensibility, and long-term product applicability.
• Develop strategic and economic business cases for partnership opportunities.
• Negotiate and execute complex, enterprise-level agreements, including exclusive arrangements.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with legal, product, compliance, engineering, and executive leadership.
• Exercise strong judgment in prioritizing opportunities and determining when to pursue, pause, or walk away.

This role owns partnerships through signature. Ongoing relationship management and renewals are handled by a separate team.

Qualifications

• Director-level (or equivalent) experience in enterprise sales, strategic partnerships, corporate development, investment banking, or strategy consulting with operating exposure.
• IC focused, ideal for enterprise sellers looking to transition into a non-traditional sales role and quota attainment.
• Experience evaluating and executing complex, multi-stakeholder transactions.
• Comfort engaging and influencing C-suite executives.
• Strong judgment when evaluating ambiguous, high-stakes opportunities.
• Thrives in environments with less structure and enjoys carving new paths.
• Grit and resilience to sustain momentum through long-cycle negotiations.
• Genuinely curious about the data ecosystem and how data enables competitive advantage and new product innovation.

Requirements

• Signing one flagship, exclusive partnership within the first 12–18 months.
• Building a repeatable executive-level pipeline of high-quality partnership opportunities.
• Establishing clear internal conviction around which opportunities merit investment.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary, performance incentives (OTE $350k), and equity.
• Flexible work hours and an open vacation policy.
• Generous 401(k) match and parental leave.
• Wellness and work-from-home benefits.
• Learning and professional development support.
