About the Role

Scale is seeking a leader to manage partnerships with frontier AI labs and foundation model providers, transforming these relationships into a go-to-market and technology advantage for the Enterprise business. This revenue-focused role involves building joint go-to-market strategies, structuring partnerships, and ensuring Scale is the preferred partner for deploying lab models at enterprise scale. The position requires strategic thinking, technical fluency, and execution capabilities in a dynamic market, with significant cross-functional collaboration across sales, product, engineering, research, finance, legal, and marketing.

Responsibilities

  • Define and deliver the strategy for Scale Enterprise's partnerships with frontier AI labs and foundation model providers
  • Build trusted relationships with go-to-market, partnerships, applied AI, and executive leaders at partner labs
  • Structure and negotiate partnerships covering joint go-to-market, co-selling, referrals, model access and commercial terms, and technical integrations
  • Build joint offerings that pair partner models with Scale's applications, evaluation, and data capabilities to speed up enterprise deployments
  • Set up co-sell motions and rules of engagement with lab enterprise sales teams, including joint account mapping and deal registration
  • Generate significant top-of-funnel pipeline through lab partnerships, with clear accountability against Enterprise revenue targets
  • Work with Product, Engineering, and Research so new model capabilities and partner integrations get to Scale's Enterprise customers quickly
  • Track the model landscape and advise leadership on where to partner, where to integrate, and where to differentiate
  • Work with Scale's broader lab relationships so the company presents a consistent, coordinated partnership strategy
  • Own post-signature execution: integration delivery, joint marketing and launches, and regular business reviews
  • Be measured on partner-sourced and influenced revenue, product and roadmap advantages gained through partnerships, and the strength and breadth of Scale's model partner ecosystem

Requirements

  • 12+ years in revenue-carrying business development, strategic partnerships, or alliances at a technology company, with recent experience in AI, ML, or cloud platform ecosystems
  • Existing relationships with partnerships, go-to-market, or leadership teams at frontier AI labs or major foundation model providers
  • Strong technical fluency in LLMs, model deployment, evaluation, and enterprise AI architecture, with the ability to hold your own with research and engineering teams
  • A track record of structuring complex technology and commercial partnerships, including co-sell and platform agreements
  • Experience managing partners that may also be competitors in some areas
  • Comfort working in a highly matrixed organization and influencing without direct authority
