About the role

Engine is looking for a Director, Distribution Strategy to own how our rate content is negotiated, distributed, and managed across every channel, partner, and connectivity surface. As Engine expands the ways customers and partners access our rates, the strategy for what we distribute — to whom, through which programs, and with what controls — becomes a defining capability. This role owns that strategy end to end. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Own Engine's rate distribution strategy — how rate content maps to channels, programs, partners, and customer segments across the platform
  • Design the rate distribution programs Engine brings to market, including the frameworks, segmentation, and rate products that define how content reaches partners across channels and segments
  • Shape how those programs are positioned and pitched to chain and distribution partners, and bring them to partners in coordination with the relationship owners who hold those accounts
  • Define which rate products Engine builds and distributes to serve each channel and segment, and how that mix evolves over time
  • Design and enforce rate fencing rules that control which audiences can access which rates, protecting negotiated rate content and partner trust
  • Own the strategy and standards for rate loading and rate-plan enablement across distribution and connectivity surfaces
