About The Role
As a member of the Ecosystem Partnerships team, you will help shape some of the most impactful partnerships, programs, and platforms in the AI industry.

You are a highly capable generalist with exceptional product instincts. You have experience working across consumer and enterprise products. You understand how partner integrations can strengthen first‑party product experiences, and you have built or scaled platform ecosystems.

You are resourceful, independent, and focused on unlocking growth and innovation.
