About Us:
We're on a mission to make subscriber churn a solved problem. Backed by a16z Speedrun, we build AI agents that help consumer subscription brands — like Higgsfield and Promova — retain more users, extend lifetime value, and grow fast. If you want to work on a high-impact problem at the frontier of AI and consumer SaaS, we'd love to meet you.
We’re based in San Francisco, and we move with intention. We believe in full lives outside of work and focused intensity during it.
Our co-founders are Azamat Khamidov and Benazir Toleubekova. Azamat built a Telegram AI product from zero to five million users in four months, the first acquisition inside Telegram. Benazir received a full scholarship to Beijing University of Technology at 15. Joined Taobao at 17. At Alibaba, architected the core recommendation engine serving 500M daily users.
What You'll Do:
As our Director of Partnerships, you'll be the face of our company to the external world: building relationships with vendors, platforms, and strategic partners that expand our reach, deepen our product integrations, and position us as the go-to agent layer in the AI stack. You'll be at every major event, in every important room.
Identify, pursue, and close strategic partnerships — including LLM providers, tool vendors, system integrators, data partners, and resellers
Represent the company at industry conferences, summits, and ecosystem events — you are our brand on the ground
Structure and negotiate partnership agreements: co-sell, co-market, integration, referral, and reseller arrangements
Build and manage a pipeline of active partner relationships, keeping them warm and moving toward mutual value
Develop co-marketing and joint GTM programs with key partners that drive awareness and pipeline
Work closely with product and engineering to scope and prioritize integration partnerships
Track and report partner-sourced pipeline and revenue; optimize for leverage, not just volume
What You'll Bring:
5-7 years in partnerships, business development, or strategic alliances — ideally in SaaS or AI/ML
A natural networker with a strong existing rolodex in the AI, cloud, or enterprise software ecosystem
Proven track record closing and structuring partnership deals — not just managing existing ones
Excellent communicator: compelling on a panel, warm in a 1:1, crisp in a follow-up
Comfortable with ambiguity and creative deal structuring — most of these won't have a template
Excited to travel regularly for events and in-person meetings
Nice to Have:
Existing relationships with LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) or cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Experience in the AI agent, automation, or workflow tooling space
Our Values:
Stewardship: We build for the long term. Every customer, partner, and teammate gets that same commitment from day one.
Trust: Earned through the integrity of our technology, the consistency of our commitments, and the honesty of our communication.
Customer Obsession: We win when our customers win. Every choice and conversation orbits around what makes them stronger.
Excellence: The same standard for the product we ship, the service we give, and the team we build. The bar is the bar.
Family: A constellation, not a single star. We back each other on hard days, celebrate the great ones, and protect the time teammates need to be parents, partners, and humans first.
Life at Sirius:
In-person, in San Francisco: We work side by side, on-site in San Francisco. Proximity helps us move faster, solve harder problems, and build something we're proud of together. Note: we're not able to offer visa sponsorship at this time.
Flexible healthcare: We offer flexible spending to direct your benefits toward what matters most to you and your family.
Own what you build: We're building something real, and we want you to own it.
Lunch, coffee & snacks: Daily lunch, plus coffee, tea, and snacks to keep you going.
Time off that's actually off: Take the time you need to show up as your best self. We mean it.
Company Events: We work hard and celebrate our wins.
