About the role
We’re hiring our first dedicated Strategic Partnerships Manager to own and expand relationships with GPU capacity providers, hardware manufacturers, and AI model companies.

- 3–6+ years in partnerships, business development, strategic sourcing, consulting, or account management, ideally in cloud, infrastructure, semiconductors, or AI
- Strong communication skills and confidence managing senior external relationships, from GPU cloud operators and hardware executives to AI model teams
- Commercial judgment: you can model deal economics, weigh tradeoffs, and negotiate agreements that hold up over time
- Familiarity with the GPU and accelerator landscape and cloud compute economics, or the ability to learn the market quickly
- Comfort working across geographies and cultures
- The initiative, organization, and follow-through to manage ambiguous problems independently while collaborating closely with a small team
