partnering
Working closely together
Partnering is joining with another person or entity to work together toward some goal.
The term appears frequently in business contexts—companies partnering on projects, organizations partnering with nonprofits: We're partnering with local schools to improve literacy.
It can sound like corporate jargon when simpler alternatives like "working with" would serve.
