About the role

Syndio is the platform more than half the Fortune 100 trust to govern pay decisions, built on a decade of pay equity work and millions of pay records. Executive Engagement & Insights is the team that turns that into research, category leadership, and executive-level experiences elevating pay to a strategic decision rather than a compliance afterthought.

A CHRO or CFO decides to buy our platform once. Inspiring them to feel personally invested in what we’re enabling for their business takes something special, and that is what separates a vendor from a valued business partner. This role exists to help build that.

We're hiring a Director of Executive Engagement to own three things. The first is our Strategic Advisors program, along with an expansion launching later in 2026. You'll onboard advisors, keep them genuinely engaged, and nurture those relationships into outside credibility, introductions that open doors, and sharper strategic thinking. The second is the experience we create for executives among our customers. Working sessions, private briefings, peer roundtables, and executive forum programming that earns time from people who guard it closely and inspire leadership action related to pay governance. The third is our relationships with industry analysts, keeping them informed on Syndio and tapping into their expertise and insights.

You'll report to our SVP of Executive Engagement & Insights and work regularly with our CEO, and the senior leadership team. You'll also work closely with Marketing, Sales, and Product to connect them with customer executives, advisors, and analysts in ways that expand opportunities for the business and drive revenue.
