Rhino Federated Computing is hiring a

Director of Research Programs

to drive the adoption of our platform across multi-institution collaborations, grant-funded initiatives, and strategic scientific programs. This is an

individual contributor (IC) role

with room for growth, focused on identifying and shaping high-impact opportunities where Federated Computing can become core infrastructure particularly in research environments that require secure, privacy-preserving data collaboration. You will lead efforts to originate new revenue, expand institutional footprint, and position Rhino as the default platform for cross-organizational AI/ML development. You'll work closely with academic medical centers, research consortia, public-sector agencies, and global scientific collaboratives. Your success will be measured by pipeline and revenue generated from multi-party initiatives, as well as network expansion, program-level influence, and visibility in publications or reference architectures. Responsibilities

Originate and shape new revenue opportunities

by embedding Rhino in grant-funded research programs, multi-institutional data collaboratives, and emerging public-private initiatives.

Identify and prioritize strategic programs and consortia

where federated computing is critical infrastructure (e.g., data sharing, privacy-preserving model development, AI auditability).

Develop deep external relationships

with principal investigators (PIs), program managers, institutional research leaders, and sponsoring organizations.

Drive pipeline growth

by identifying and engaging design partner projects and surfacing opportunities where Rhino can be written into grant applications, RFAs, and proposal budgets.

Act as a commercial partner

in proposal development, providing value propositions, technical positioning, and deployment models.

Collaborate cross-functionally

with sales, marketing, product, and partnerships to ensure alignment on roadmap, messaging, and deal strategy.

Track and report on opportunity pipeline , including influenced revenue, ecosystem expansion, and co-development milestones. Qualifications

6+ years experience in research collaborations, strategic BD, academic alliances, or platform commercialization — ideally in AI/ML, data infrastructure, or scientific computing.

An advanced degree (e.g., PhD, MD, MPH, or MS in a relevant scientific, engineering, or public health field) is valued, but not required, especially if paired with experience driving cross-institutional research initiatives or platform adoption.

Proven ability to work across

scientific and commercial stakeholders , translating technical capabilities into grant-winning proposals and adoption strategies.

Experience engaging with or working inside

academic medical centers, research hospitals, federal agencies (e.g., NIH), or global consortia. Strong understanding of how grant funding works — including identifying opportunities, supporting proposal writing, and influencing RFPs/RFAs.

Commercial mindset with experience

generating pipeline, surfacing opportunities, and influencing buying behavior

(even if not quota-carrying).

Excellent relationship builder, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by influencing large, complex, multi-party initiatives.
