About Mistral

Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.

We are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.

About the role

We are looking for a Partner Manager to lead the relationship with semiconductor providers (GPU, ASIC, accelerator vendors and their ecosystems). This is a dual-mandate role to support the growth of Mistral along two dimensions

As an AI Lab. You will accelerate the adoption of our models on their silicon (incl. device, edge and on-premise), support cross-collaboration with OEMs (e.g., joint research) and facilitate access to AI Infrastructure to support our research efforts.
As an AI Infrastructure provider. You will support the development of our AI Infrastructure: securing compute allocations from partners, supporting infrastructure financing plans, and building joint pipeline for AI Infrastructure deals.

You will report into the Compute Partner organization. You are a builder who is equally comfortable in an executive briefing, a technical roadmap review, and a commercial negotiation.
