Job Description:

1X is scaling rapidly across consumer, enterprise, and manufacturing. We need a senior leader who can unify strategy across the company, drive high-impact BD and GTM partnerships, and relentlessly manage investor relationships. This role operates as an extension of the CFO—solving cross-functional problems, unlocking commercial growth, and maintaining a constant investor dialogue.

Job Responsibility:

  • Run the cross-functional strategy engine that ensures Product, Engineering, Manufacturing, Finance, and Operations are solving the same problems with shared priorities
  • Build structured problem-solving frameworks to unblock internal bottlenecks (e.g., supply chain, scaling, unit economics, customer deployments)
  • Lead annual/quarterly strategy cycles with a focus on aligning teams around the major company “big rocks” and associated KPIs
  • Partner with the C-suite to drive strategic capital allocation and resource planning across orgs
  • Own competitive intelligence and long-term positioning across robotics, compute, and automation
  • Utilize investor network to build manufacturing partnerships, including U.S. and global suppliers, to support scaling capacity and cost-down initiatives
  • Utilize investor base to assist with GTM strategy with an emphasis on scalable distribution, channel partnerships, and enterprise/consumer commercialization
  • Structure and negotiate complex agreements—GTM, distribution, supply, JV, compute-for-equity, and strategic commercial deals
  • Maintain an investor-conscious lens on BD—prioritizing deals that create enterprise value, build moat, and align with what future investors will value
  • Build high-level relationships with partners across hyperscalers, telcos, retailers, contract manufacturers, industrials, and ecosystem players
  • Own investor communications with a hustle mentality—proactive, always-on engagement with strategic and financial investors
  • Drive continuous narrative development: equity story, KPIs, route-to-scale, and long-term model
  • Manage data rooms, investor cadence, and off-cycle outreach to build long-term relationships well ahead of fundraising needs
  • Respond rapidly to investor inbound and orchestrate follow-ups, materials, and cross-functional responses with precision and urgency
  • Support CFO in fundraising prep, roadshows, diligence, and managing investor expectations

Requirements:

  • 10–15 years across corporate strategy, BD/GTM, and/or strategic finance at a frontier-tech or advanced hardware company
  • Experience building partnerships across manufacturing, GTM, supply chain, or large ecosystem partners
  • Strong operational grounding and ability to run multi-org initiatives
  • Demonstrated ability to structure, negotiate, and close high-value strategic and commercial deals
  • Exceptional ability to synthesize technical, operational, and financial details into actionable strategy and investor-ready narratives

Nice to have:

  • VC, IBD, or consulting exposure (strategy, diligence, deal structuring)
  • Experience working with hyperscalers and industrial conglomerates
  • Prior experience at a high-growth Series B–E tech company
What we offer:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Equity
