Who We Are HydroX AI is a Silicon Valley startup building the one-stop destination for safe AI solutions across every enterprise need. We're domain experts from top tech companies, backed by tier-1 investors, creating an all-in-one solution that doesn't exist yet.
The Role We need a 0-to-1 business development lead to build our US go-to-market. You'll own the business development function - from identifying our key US enterprise customers to closing deals across our full platform suite. This isn't about executing an existing playbook; it's about writing one for a completely new category in the US market.
What You'll Build
- US revenue engine : Build a multi-million dollar pipeline and close our first major enterprise and government contracts
- Strategic partnerships : Negotiate joint ventures and teaming agreements that accelerate revenue growth
- Market positioning : Establish pricing, packaging, and go-to-market strategy for the US market
- Revenue systems : Create forecasting and pipeline management processes that drive predictable growth
What We're Looking For
- Startup DNA : 8+ years in B2B business development with a proven track record of launching and scaling new product categories from zero
- 0-to-1 expertise : Multiple successful examples of taking unproven products to market and achieving first enterprise wins
- Platform/enterprise sales experience : History of closing 7+ figure deals for complex, multi-component technology solutions
- Government/IC experience : Demonstrated success winning large contracts in Intelligence Community or similar regulated environments
- Technical fluency : Ability to understand and articulate cutting-edge AI platform capabilities across the full stack
- Solution selling mastery : Proven ability to create new markets and educate buyers on technologies that didn't exist before
- Proposal leadership : Track record of leading winning responses to complex, high-value RFPs in competitive environments
- Entrepreneurial results : History of building BD functions, processes, and teams that delivered measurable revenue growth
What You Get
- Equity in a high-growth AI platform startup
- Opportunity to define an entire function and create a new market category
- Work alongside domain experts building the complete AI solution stack
