About the Role:
We are hiring a
Strategy & Partnerships Associate

Strategic Execution:
Rapidly evaluate strategic ideas (e.g., Token Router, inference options). Build actionable launch plans covering technology options, capacity, staffing, and investment needs; coordinate cross-functionally to drive execution.
Partnerships & Ecosystem Growth:
Expand relationships with companies like Google, OpenAI, and high-growth Silicon Valley startups. Move joint product integrations, tech partnerships, and GTM opportunities from outreach to launch.
Executive Enablement:
Support leadership in major partnership, investment, or M&A discussions through rigorous research, opportunity analysis, and meeting preparation.

for local industry events, partner meetings, and team collaboration.
Skills:
