ABOUT ERAGON

Eragon is an Applied AI lab building an AI platform that powers proactive agents for sovereign enterprises. We're working on memory, model routing, continual learning, and product experience that make agents useful, reliable, and governable in real-world settings.

We've raised more than $26 million in seed funding from investors including Khosla Ventures, a16z, Soma Capital, and Long Journey Ventures. We work with customers including Deel, Slash, Prodware, and Corgi to power their AI-native workflows.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Member of Business Staff on Strategic Partnerships, you'll build the relationships that extend Eragon's reach—with partners, with the applied AI community, and with the people who show up in the room. You'll own partnerships end to end, grow a community around Eragon, and run events that turn relationships into pipeline.

The people who do well here are natural connectors with commercial instincts and the follow-through to keep many relationships moving at once.

IDEALLY, YOU'D HAVE

Experience from one of these areas:

1. Partnerships or business development leads who've structured and closed strategic deals at a tech company

2. Strategy consultants, investors, or corp dev operators who've evaluated deals and want to own them end to end

3. Community or event leads who've turned a community into pipeline and partners

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

•Source the Right Partners: Identify the platforms, channels, and companies where a partnership would meaningfully extend Eragon's reach

•Structure the Deal: Design partnership terms, co-sell, integration, channel, or co-marketing, and model the expected ROI for both sides

•Close and Manage: Negotiate agreements, then own each partnership after signing and track results against the business case

•Grow the Community: Build ongoing programs and in-person events, from dinners to large gatherings, that turn relationships into pipeline and partners

•Connect the Dots: Line partners and the community up with the GTM team, and bring what you hear back to product

REQUIREMENTS

Must haves

•Background: Experience in partnerships, business development, strategy, or GTM, ideally at a fast-growing startup

•Deal Sense: Comfortable structuring a partnership and thinking through what each side gets out of it

•Connector: Builds trust quickly and is comfortable representing Eragon with partners, customers, and the community

•Ownership: Keeps many relationships and initiatives moving without waiting to be told what to do

Nice to haves

•A network in the AI, developer, or enterprise software ecosystem

•Experience running events or community programs
