Manage strategic partner relationships and drive go-to-market execution for cloud and AI infrastructure partners.
About The Role
CoreWeave is looking for a Field Business Development Manager to own and grow our most strategic partner relationships. This is a high-impact, externally-facing role sitting at the intersection of business development and go-to-market execution. You'll be the primary point of contact for a portfolio of tier-one partners — including NVIDIA, hyperscalers, and key technology partners — driving joint pipeline, co-sell motions, and mutual customer success.
This role is the partner-side equivalent of a field sales leader: you'll own relationships, carry influence targets, and be accountable for measurable outcomes. You'll work closely with CoreWeave's Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Business Development organizations to align partner initiatives with company priorities.
What You'll Do
Partner Relationship Management
- Serve as the primary field liaison for a portfolio of strategic partners, including NVIDIA, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and select technology ecosystem partners

- Represent CoreWeave at partner QBRs, field events, and executive briefings
Go-to-Market Execution
- Drive co-sell and influence pipeline in collaboration with CoreWeave's field sales team and counterpart partner managers at NVIDIA and hyperscalers
- Identify, track, and accelerate joint opportunities from sourcing through close, coordinating across both sides of the partnership
- Develop territory-level partner plans aligned to regional sales priorities and quotas
- Work with partner field teams to ensure CoreWeave is embedded in their customer conversations and solution architectures
Partner Enablement
- Lead enablement sessions, workshops, and technical briefings to ensure partner sales and technical teams can effectively position and sell CoreWeave solutions
- Develop joint solution plays and reference architectures in partnership with Solutions Engineering and Product Marketing
- Maintain a deep understanding of CoreWeave's product portfolio and competitive differentiation, and translate this into partner-facing messaging and materials
Ecosystem Development
- Collaborate with the Business Development team to evaluate new partnership opportunities and recommend prioritization based on strategic fit and revenue potential
- Contribute to CoreWeave's partner program development, including tier frameworks, incentives, and co-marketing structures
Measurement & Reporting
- Track and report on partner-influenced and partner-sourced pipeline, revenue, and engagement metrics
- Provide field-level feedback to the central Business Development and product teams on partner needs, gaps, and competitive dynamics
- Maintain accurate records of partner activity and pipeline in Salesforce
What We're Looking For
Required
- 6+ years of experience in partner management, alliances, business development, or a related field-facing role at a cloud, infrastructure, or enterprise software company
- Demonstrated experience managing strategic partnerships with hyperscalers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) or major technology ecosystem partners
- Proven track record of driving partner-influenced revenue and executing co-sell motions in a field environment
- Strong executive presence and ability to build trusted relationships at senior levels inside both CoreWeave and partner organizations
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to C-suite audiences
- Experience working cross-functionally with sales, marketing, product, and engineering teams
- Highly organized and self-directed; able to manage multiple partner relationships and initiatives simultaneously
Nice to Have
