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.
You'll go deep on a small set of strategic technology partners that matter most to how enterprises build with data and AI, and turn each one into a durable, multi-year relationship. As SpaceXSI's single owner for each partner, you'll own the executive relationship, joint strategy, product and integration alignment, and the co-sell and co-marketing motion that drives customer adoption and pipeline. This role is built for depth, not breadth, and sits at the center of how we work with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing to make each partnership show up in real customer outcomes.

Own a small set of strategic technology partners end to end as SpaceXSI's single accountable owner, including executive relationships across alliance, product, engineering, and field leadership, and executive sponsorship on both sides

Align product and integration roadmaps with SpaceXSI Product and Engineering and each partner's product teams, maintain a current view of integration state and gaps, and bring partner and customer signal into SpaceXSI's roadmap
Build and run co-sell and co-marketing motions with partner field and marketing teams, including account mapping, joint account plans, field enablement, joint launches, customer stories, and presence at partners' flagship events
Run the operating rhythm for each partnership (joint business reviews, executive check-ins, pipeline syncs, and escalations), act as the primary internal owner across Product, Eng, Sales, Marketing, Legal, and Finance, and report partnership performance to SpaceXSI leadership
