SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
About the role
This is a hybrid of GTM and technology partner strategy. Your top focus is running partner relationships at scale and building an ISV / marketplace ecosystem that our GTM team can leverage: partners ready to co-sell and co-market with, listings and joint plays that attach cleanly to field motions, and an operating model that makes the portfolio usable by Sales, Marketing, and Product.
You own the partner side of the motion - portfolio health, activation, programs, and cross-functional orchestration - so GTM has an ecosystem to leverage in deals and campaigns without each relationship needing a bespoke rebuild.
Responsibilities
Portfolio & commercial ownership
Own a portfolio of technology and ISV partners across recruit → onboard → activate → expand; go deep on the highest-impact relationships and keep the broader set productive with programmatic coverage
Build joint plans with priority partners (shared goals, listing / integration milestones, co-sell / co-market, success metrics) and own outcomes - partner-sourced or influenced pipeline, marketplace activity, activation velocity, partner health
Marketplace, ISV programs & scale motions
Build and scale marketplace / ISV motions: listing readiness, activation playbooks, engagement models or tiers as needed, and field-ready co-sell / co-market plays
Prove new routes to market with a small partner set (co-market launches or programs that create pipeline, co-sell plays), then turn what works into repeatable programs
Run the operating rhythm - pipeline syncs, business reviews, executive check-ins, escalations - that still works when the book is large
Cross-functional liaison
Act as the primary internal owner for ISV / marketplace workstreams across Product, Eng, Sales, and Marketing
Drive three-way coordination with AEs (SpaceXSI ↔ partner ↔ customer) and partner with Marketing on joint narratives, launches, and marketplace discovery that create real pipeline
Serve as the voice of the technology partner ecosystem inside SpaceXSI, and bring structure (operating model, scorecards, rules of engagement) as the portfolio grows
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of professional experience in partnerships, business development, alliances, or channel roles; OR 9+ years of professional experience in partnerships, business development, alliances, or channel roles in lieu of a degree
2+ years managing a portfolio of 10 or more technology or ISV partners at the same time
Experience launching or operating a technology partner, ISV, or marketplace program (e.g., partner onboarding, marketplace listings, or co-sell)
Preferred Qualifications
Partnerships experience at a developer tools, AI/ML, or B2B SaaS company selling to engineering leaders and developers
Experience with cloud marketplaces and hyperscaler partner programs (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), including co-sell motions and three-way plays with ISVs
Built partner onboarding, listing-readiness, or activation playbooks used across a multi-partner portfolio
Ran co-sell plays with account executives across SpaceXSI, partner, and customer, and tracked partner-sourced or partner-influenced pipeline
Ran joint co-marketing launches or campaigns with partner marketing teams that generated pipeline
Technical fluency to discuss integrations, APIs, and product fit with partners and Product / Engineering teams
Experience using Salesforce for partner pipeline and attribution, and partner tools such as Crossbeam or PartnerStack
