About the Role
We are a seed-stage deeptech startup at the intersection of AI, robotics, chemistry, and materials science — building a platform that radically accelerates the discovery of advanced materials for the energy sector and beyond. Our autonomous lab and physics-informed AI platform compress decades-long R&D timelines into a fraction of the time.
We are hiring a Partnership Manager to own the post-signing commercial partner relationship end-to-end — turning signed agreements into delivered outcomes and building the long-term trust that fuels deeper collaboration. You will coordinate across AI, chemistry, automation, and lab teams to translate partner goals into clear scopes, milestones, and results.
This is a delivery-focused, cross-functional ownership role — not a sales role. You will be the trusted counterpart for a portfolio of strategic commercial partners and the internal advocate who keeps execution honest and on track.
Location: On-site in Berlin, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
What You'll Do
- Own commercial partner success end-to-end and be fully accountable for delivery.
- Serve as the primary trusted counterpart for a portfolio of strategic commercial partners.
- Clarify what success looks like for partners — beyond the contract language — and keep expectations aligned with reality.
- Advocate for partners internally; represent the company externally with equal clarity and credibility.
- Drive delivery through influence, not authority, coordinating across AI, chemistry, automation, and lab teams.
- Translate partner goals into concrete scopes, milestones, and priorities.
- Resolve ambiguity, manage tradeoffs, and maintain project momentum under pressure.
- Communicate early and clearly when risks or changes arise to protect partner trust.
- Identify opportunities to grow delivered value into expanded collaboration.
- Partner with Business Development to shape and convert follow-on engagements.
What We're Looking For
Required
- 5+ years of experience in partnerships, consulting, customer success, or account management within complex technical environments.
- Proven track record of owning delivery across multiple stakeholders with competing priorities.
- Strong project coordination and stakeholder management skills — you keep things moving without formal authority.
- Technical literacy in deep tech, science, or engineering domains; comfortable navigating conversations with scientists and engineers.
- Demonstrated calm under pressure with a high sense of ownership and accountability.
- Clear, precise communicator who builds trust through honesty and follow-through.
- Fluent in English (written and spoken).
Nice to Have
- Fluency in additional languages beyond English.
- Experience working in or alongside materials science, chemistry, energy, or advanced manufacturing industries.
- Background in a cross-functional program coordination or technical consulting capacity at a fast-paced, science-driven company.
