Job Description
Summary:
- The Global Research Partnerships team drives the hundreds of partnerships that are required to support the vast array of Research PA initiatives, which collectively touch and impact just about every Client PA.
- We support innovation rather than products and our work is transformational, through impacts that accrue over time.
- The deals we drive are typically highly negotiated, bespoke agreements, often involving complex IP considerations and in highly regulated environments.
- We engage strategically vs. transactionally, spending significant time upfront to understand the technology and develop thoughtful partnerships strategies, before executing partnerships.
- This role specifically supports the AI team within Client Research.
- Client's AI's mission is to make useful quantum computing tools available to the world to enable humankind to solve problems that would otherwise be impossible.
- Client AI is building Client systems that can leverage quantum mechanics to outperform the world's largest computers at certain classes of problems.
- Map out the AI space to determine gaps and needs for Agreements and areas of partnership risk.
- Where appropriate and in coordination with the AI team, help identify potential partners to solve gaps in supply, services, or ecosystem development.
- Work closely with the AI PgM and TPgM teams to identify and prioritize agreements.
- Manage and own overall deal flow and own the execution process from agreement initiation to execution leveraging Client's internal tools and processes.
- Scope, draft, and negotiate, and close deals related to the Quantum space covering areas including but not limited to component supply, equipment purchases, IP licensing, ecosystem development, and vendor staffing.
- Work closely with Client legal and other cross functional partners (i.e., finance) to review and gain alignment on all agreements and resolve open issues and risk points.
- Work with EMEA and APAC Partnership teams to help align regional needs with the team and support localized deal execution where needed.
- Build Global Partnerships best practices into the AI partnerships process and strategies.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 5 years' work experience in a partner-facing role at a technology company, start-up, or equivalent work experience.
- Experience in agreement negotiation, partner management or product management in a consumer electronics or technology development environment.
- Only candidates available and ready to work directly as Genesis10 employees will be considered for this position.
- Previous experience working with a variety of partners including hardware and silicon will be a big plus.
- Ability to balance strategic thinking with tactical and detail-oriented execution.
- Excellent communication, analytical, problem-solving, process navigation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Experience in technology, business development, or another entrepreneurial environment.
- Passion in technology and emerging/early-stage product and interest in science and demonstrated intellectual curiosity.
- Educational or professional background in a science or engineering field such as computer science, electrical engineering, physics, and/or AI/Client is a big plus but not required.
