Head of Growth + Partnerships
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. We're an incredibly driven team working on a problem that affects every consumer on the planet. If that sounds like your kind of thing, we'd love to meet you.
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:
There is no partnerships playbook at Sirius. You're building it. As our first Partnerships Lead, you'll be the face of Sirius in the world — at every important conference, in every room where the consumer subscription ecosystem gathers. This is not a relationship management role. It's a deal-making and brand-building role. We need someone who walks into a room full of people who've never heard of Sirius and leaves with a signed agreement and three warm intros. Someone who sees a conference not as a networking obligation but as a pipeline opportunity.
Identify and close high-leverage partnership opportunities: platforms, tools, agencies, and networks that give Sirius distribution or credibility we can't build alone
Represent the company at industry conferences, summits, and ecosystem events — you are our brand on the ground
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 the founders to define which partnerships matter most and move fast on the ones that do
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 network in the consumer subscription, SaaS, or AI ecosystem
A track record of closing deals, not just cultivating relationships. You can point to specific partnerships you originated and structured from scratch
Excellent communicator: compelling on a panel, warm in a 1:1, crisp in a follow-up
Comfortable operating without process, support, or a dedicated team behind you
Excited to travel regularly for events and in-person meetings
Based in San Francisco, full-time in-person. No visa sponsorship at this time.
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.
