This is both an internally and externally focused role; as the VP, Affiliate Delivery will own the P&L for the affiliate delivery organization, they will be expected to drive success across both top and bottom line metrics. This is a build role as much as a run role: the VP is expected to help refine and build the affiliate team structure of the future, not simply operate the structure already in place. Top 5 Job Responsibilities Lead, Manage, and Hold Your Team Accountable: Owns the performance and culture of a large, globally dispersed affiliate client services organization. Sets and models the standard for leadership at every level, developing a deep bench of managers who coach, retain, and elevate their teams. Drives succession planning with intentionality, proactively identifying and developing the next tier of leaders.

Sets the expectation that capacity is maximized before new hires are approved. Continuously identifies structural efficiencies, new revenue opportunities, and ways to deliver better client outcomes without adding cost. Ensures target margin percentages are met consistently.

Skilled at identifying potential risks early and coaches the team to do the same. Acts as a point of escalation to support fast and effective issue resolution.

Sets the expectation across the organization that embracing AI and testing new operating models is a professional standard, not an option, and builds a culture where teams are continuously experimenting, learning, and raising the bar on what is possible. Internal Accountability and Organizational Stewardship: Operates with confidence in a matrixed environment, balancing flexibility with clear decision-making. Establishes single-threaded ownership for key decisions across the delivery organization rather than defaulting to consensus, so it is always clear who owns the call. Disseminates information with the business perspective in mind, ensuring teams have what they need to act with context.
