Job description

About the Role

We are a seed-stage deeptech startup at the intersection of AI, robotics, chemistry, and materials science - building a platform that radically accelerates the discovery of advanced materials for the energy sector and beyond.

Our autonomous lab and physics-informed AI platform compress decades-long R&D timelines into a fraction of the time.

We are hiring a Partnership Manager to own the post-signing commercial partner relationship end-to-end - turning signed agreements into delivered outcomes and building the long-term trust that fuels deeper collaboration.

You will coordinate across AI, chemistry, automation, and lab teams to translate partner goals into clear scopes, milestones, and results.

This is a delivery-focused, cross-functional ownership role - not a sales role.

You will be the trusted counterpart for a portfolio of strategic commercial partners and the internal advocate who keeps execution honest and on track.

Location: On-site in Berlin, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

• Resolve ambiguity, manage tradeoffs, and maintain project momentum under pressure.

• Identify opportunities to grow delivered value into expanded collaboration.
• Partner with Business Development to shape and convert follow-on engagements.

What We're Looking For

• Required 5+ years of experience in partnerships, consulting, customer success, or account management within complex technical environments.
• Proven track record of owning delivery across multiple stakeholders with competing priorities.
• Strong project coordination and stakeholder management skills - you keep things moving without formal authority.
• Technical literacy in deep tech, science, or engineering domains; comfortable navigating conversations with scientists and engineers.
• Demonstrated calm under pressure with a high sense of ownership and accountability.
• Clear, precise communicator who builds trust through honesty and follow-through.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken).
• Nice to Have Fluency in additional languages beyond English.
• Experience working in or alongside materials science, chemistry, energy, or advanced manufacturing industries.
• Background in a cross-functional program coordination or technical consulting capacity at a fast-paced, science-driven company.
