About the Role:

Grade Level (for internal use): 12

The Enterprise Partnerships team drives S&P Global's strategic relationships and partnership initiatives across technology, AI, data, distribution, and other high-priority partnership domains. The team brings together commercial, product, technology, legal, and divisional stakeholders to maximise enterprise value and accelerate execution. Operating at the intersection of strategy and commercial delivery, we forge the collaborative relationships that underpin S&P Global's growth across key market participants — from hyperscalers and frontier AI platforms to redistributors, clearing houses, and exchanges.

Responsibilities and Impact

• Own the operating cadence for the Enterprise Partnerships function — including leadership reviews, portfolio reviews, planning cycles, and rigorous follow-through on key decisions, actions, and commitments.
• Maintain a consolidated, real-time view of the partnership portfolio, tracking commercial performance, strategic priorities, contractual milestones, key risks, and leadership decisions required across technology, AI, data, and distribution partnerships.
• Establish and run consistent reporting across the partnership portfolio covering revenue, pipeline, adoption, renewals, and strategic progress — surfacing issues requiring leadership attention and driving actions to resolution.
• Prepare high-quality briefings, presentations, and decision materials for senior leadership and executive meetings, including preparation for strategic partner engagements and ELT-level discussions.
• Support the development and execution of the Enterprise Partnerships strategy, translating strategic objectives into clear plans, milestones, and measurable outcomes, including business cases and commercial analyses for new opportunities.
• Act as a force multiplier for the Head of Enterprise Partnerships — coordinating priorities, managing cross-functional workstreams, and accelerating delivery across a diverse portfolio of technology, AI, and strategic partnerships.
