Job description

Director of Partnerships, AI Model and Ecosystem

This role owns relationships with the companies that supply computing power, such as cloud providers, GPU makers and hardware vendors, and turns them into signed, lasting deals. A strong candidate has roughly five to ten years in consulting, strategy, business development or corporate development, and has negotiated large technology agreements. Clear thinking, executive presence and the knack for getting Legal, Finance, Engineering and Product moving in the same direction matter most.

How it fits the AI era

Video generation needs a huge amount of computing power, so access to it shapes what the company can build and how fast. AI tools can speed up market research, contract review and business case drafting. Trust with partner executives, judgment in tough negotiations and deciding which relationships are worth building stay human work.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this seat would see up close how a large AI video product secures and manages the computing supply behind millions of daily generations. That means learning how GPU capacity, cloud terms and hardware roadmaps affect product plans and costs. To prepare, read up on AI infrastructure markets, follow how video models use compute, and practice turning technical needs into clear commercial asks.

Worth showing

• Strategic technology deal negotiation
• Executive business case presentations
• Cross-functional stakeholder alignment
• AI infrastructure market knowledge
• Long-term partner account management
