Associate Director Corporate Partnerships @American Association for Cancer Research

Philadelphia, PA, US

As Associate Director of Corporate Partnerships at the AACR Foundation, I lead the development of strategic, high-impact relationships with corporate partners outside the pharmaceutical sector. My role focuses on building a scalable and sustainable portfolio of non-pharma partnerships that support cancer research and innovation. I manage the full lifecycle of corporate collaborations—from prospecting and proposal development to activation and long-term stewardship. This includes cause marketing initiatives, co-branded campaigns, employee engagement programs, and event-based partnerships. I work closely with internal and external stakeholders to craft customized partnership strategies that align with corporate social responsibility goals and drive meaningful revenue growth for the Foundation. With a focus on innovation, relationship-building, and results, I’m helping shape a new programmatic approach to corporate engagement that expands the AACR Foundation’s reach and impact.
