About the Role
This role connects OpenArt's model partners with our Product, Engineering and Growth teams. Working with frontier labs and open-source teams alike, you'll build lasting partnerships, secure early access, negotiate commercial terms, and turn each partnership into product launches and growth.
What You’ll Do
You'll own OpenArt's partnerships with LLM, image, video, audio and 3D model providers end to end, from the first conversation through ongoing account management. That includes:
- Negotiate and manage deals: structure API pricing, volume commitments, revenue share, early-access and exclusivity arrangements that work for both sides. Once signed, keep contracts, usage and costs on track, and make sure commitments on both sides are met.
- Land day-one launches: secure early access to new models and coordinate with Product and Engineering so they ship on OpenArt at or near launch.
- Drive joint go-to-market: develop co-marketing with providers (launch announcements, case studies, creator showcases, events) and work with Growth on positioning and activation.
What We’re Looking for
- 3+ years in partnerships, business development, or developer/platform relationships, ideally in AI, creative tools, cloud or developer platforms, with a track record of negotiating and closing commercial agreements such as API, licensing or revenue-share deals. An existing network across AI labs and model providers is a strong plus.
- Excellent relationship-building skills, comfort talking technical details (APIs, rate limits, latency, pricing per output) with engineers and business details with executives.
Nice to Have
- Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish or other languages useful for partnering with global model providers.
Compensation
- $140K - $170K base salary, plus annual bonus and RSUs
- Equity - meaningful ownership in what you build
- High autonomy, high growth environment
Work Setup
- Bay Area preferred (hybrid available)
- Visa sponsorship available
