Director - TV OEM & Distribution Partnerships

Overview of the Role:

Glance TV is turning the largest screen in the home into something smarter, more personal, and more interactive. Powered by AI, it brings together content discovery, commerce, personalization, advertising, and engagement on the connected TV, and Glance is being integrated natively into connected-TV ecosystems, including Android/Google TV and Samsung's Tizen OS.

We are looking for a senior, independent business development leader to expand Glance TV's distribution and product integration partnerships across the U.S. connected-TV ecosystem. This is a senior individual-contributor role for a proven dealmaker with strong executive relationships across TV OEMs, operating systems, set-top box providers, pay-TV operators, and connected-device platforms.

You'll drive partnerships that embed Glance into TV platforms and devices, expanding consumer reach while creating sustainable commercial opportunities. You will own the entire partnership lifecycle, from identifying distribution opportunities and negotiating agreements to driving product integrations, launches, and expansion. If you enjoy turning big partnership ideas into launches that people actually use, this role gives you ownership of that work.

You will work directly with senior leaders and shape how Glance reaches consumers through leading TV manufacturers, operating systems, and distribution platforms. This role offers significant ownership, executive visibility, and the opportunity to help define the future of connected television.

Location: This role is based onsite in our New York City office and requires approximately 70% travel.
