This is a fast-paced, high-visibility role for someone who thrives in complexity and wants to be at the center of the most consequential partnerships in enterprise AI. The impact you will have: Serve as the primary point-of-contact for senior GTM stakeholders at Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, cultivating trusted, multi-threaded relationships at each level of the org chart across sales and field engineering.

Proven track record building GTM programs and growing high-visibility partnerships with major technology companies, ideally cloud hyper-scalers or frontier model providers. Deep understanding of Generative AI products, go-to-market models, and the competitive AI landscape, including familiarity with the positioning and capabilities of Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and comparable frontier model providers.
