  • Support senior BD team members in structuring and managing strategic partnerships and collaborations.
  • Contribute to creating scalable processes and resources (e.g., decks, proposals, and documentation) to enhance partner outreach effectiveness.
  • Help organize and participate in events, webinars, and community activities to boost Gradient Network's presence and awareness.
  • Work closely with Product and Marketing teams to align partnership initiatives with strategic business objectives.

Requirements

  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
  • Proactive mindset, eager to learn and able to quickly grasp complex technical concepts related to AI and decentralized technologies.
