Job Description

Publicis Groupe is building the world's first fully agentic, enterprise-scale operating system for marketing and business transformation. Powered by Groupe solutions, our partner ecosystem is rapidly expanding into a federated network of data, model, and workflow agents across industry leaders like Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce, and Google.

We are seeking a Vice President, Partner Solutions to define and deliver the next generation of differentiated, partner-fused solutions for Publicis Groupe.

This role is accountable for staying ahead of the rapidly evolving AI and cloud landscapes, anticipating partner announcements, and developing clear perspectives on implications and opportunities for Publicis Groupe clients.

Responsibilities

1. Co-Innovation, Differentiated Value Propositions & Solution Architecture
  • Build differentiated joint propositions that combine partner technologies with Groupe data, identity, content, media, and Core AI capabilities - and translate these into deployable agents and workflows.
  • Lead discovery to map gaps, integration opportunities, and high-value use cases across partner stacks and Groupe platforms.
  • Create enterprise-grade blueprints across data, identity, models, APIs, agent orchestration, and governance.
  • Ensure every co-innovation concept results in real, testable, and scalable agentic capabilities.
2. Build & Scale the Partner Ecosystem

  • Define agent packaging, metadata standards, lifecycle management, and partner GTM enablement.
  • Partner with engineering leaders to scale onboarding pipelines, agent governance, and agent-to-agent interaction models.
3. Market Awareness & Forward-Looking POV Development
  • Stay ahead of partner product releases, AI advancements, cloud platform roadmaps, and industry announcements.
  • Produce proactive internal and client-facing POVs on the implications of these developments, including opportunities, risks, and recommended actions.
  • Brief executives, client leads, and agencies to ensure the Groupe always leads-not follows-market shifts.
4. Partnership Acceleration & Roadmap Execution
  • Collaborate with leading partners and emerging innovators to co-develop demonstrators, proof-of-value pilots, and scaled client solutions.
  • Maintain a federated multi-partner roadmap aligned with Publicis Groupe's Core AI North Star.
  • Identify and drive 3-5 strategic hero builds per partner each year, ensuring each build demonstrates measurable impact.
5. Internal Evangelism & Enablement
  • Equip agencies, client teams, and capability groups with narratives, demos, frameworks, and playbooks that translate innovation into action.
  • Serve as a visible leader across Publicis Groupe, helping shape the culture and operating rhythms of our agentic future.
6. Client-Facing Strategy & Activation
  • Support C-suite and senior client conversations on AI transformation, agentic workflows, and cross-platform integration.
  • Partner with consulting, media, production, commerce, and data teams to embed these new capabilities directly into client operations.
  • Shape co-sell motions, integrated go-to-market plans, and multi-partner joint plays.
