Strategic Value Partners Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory US is hiring a commercially driven seller to close high-value strategic partnership deals involving legal, regulatory, and compliance content, data, APIs, and product integrations.

You will sell the commercial use of Wolters Kluwer's authoritative content and data inside other companies' products, platforms, workflows, and AI-enabled solutions. The role objective is to structure and close partnerships that embed Wolters Kluwer expertise into the product roadmaps, distribution models, or customer workflows of technology and information providers in legal and regulatory compliance markets.

The ideal candidate is a proven enterprise seller with a track record of closing large, complex, long-cycle deals involving data licensing, content licensing, APIs, embedded product partnerships, platform distribution, or strategic commercial integrations. This person must be comfortable selling into sophisticated counterparties, shaping ambiguous opportunities, navigating legal and technical stakeholders, and driving transactions from first conversation through signed agreement and expansion.

Core Responsibilities

• Originate, develop, and close strategic partnership deals that monetize Wolters Kluwer legal, regulatory, and compliance content, data, and capabilities through licensing, embedded integrations, APIs, and platform partnerships.

• Own a partnership sales pipeline and carry a commercial quota tied to closed revenue.

• Identify and win opportunities where Wolters Kluwer's content, editorial enhancements, and regulatory expertise can strengthen another company's offering, workflow, or AI product.

• Structure commercial partnerships with legal tech, regulatory intelligence, HR tech, health tech, HCM, HRIS, platform, and enterprise software companies.

• Lead complex deal cycles involving business, product, legal, data, licensing, compliance, and technical stakeholders.

• Translate customer and partner product strategies into commercially sound partnership models, including content licensing, data delivery, API access, workflow integrations, embedded intelligence, and co-developed offerings.

• Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, Operations, and senior business leaders to move opportunities from concept to signed agreement.

• Negotiate commercial terms, value articulation, pricing structures, rights models, usage restrictions, integration scope, governance, and expansion paths.

• Help determine where Wolters Kluwer should partner, how deeply it should integrate, and how to preserve attribution, monetization control, and strategic leverage.

• Support partnerships that may become broader strategic relationships or future acquisition candidates if market validation is strong.

Success Measures

Success in this role will be measured by:

• Closed-won partnership revenue against quota

• Size, quality, and progression of partnership pipeline

• Number and value of signed licensing and integration deals

• Ability to close complex commercial transactions with sophisticated counterparties

• Expansion of Wolters Kluwer content and capabilities into external products and workflows

• Strength of deal economics, rights protection, and monetization structure

• Strategic value created through relationships that deepen market access, product relevance, and potential acquisition insight
