Model Partnerships - ElevenCreative

We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and ...

We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:

ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.

ElevenCreative brings together leading image and video models alongside our own audio models, so our users can make everything they need in one place. We are looking for someone to own our relationships with the model providers who make that possible, starting with video.
You will be the main point of contact for our model partners, help bring new models to ElevenCreative, and build partnerships that are good for our partners, our users, and our business. You will work closely with product, engineering, finance, marketing, and sales.
This is a green-field role. You will define how we work with model partners as the ecosystem grows.
Build and manage relationships with image and video model providers.
Identify and evaluate new partners and models to bring to ElevenCreative.
Own the commercial side of our partnerships, working closely with finance.
Drive marketing including joint launches, campaigns, and co-marketing.
Work with product and engineering to shape which models we offer and when.
Support enterprise sales on partnership needs for large customers.
Stay close to the generative video landscape and the models creators and marketers want next.

We are looking for someone who combines strong partnership skills with sound commercial judgment. You will thrive in this role if you:
Have 5+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, or commercial roles at a technology company, ideally in AI or infrastructure.
Have deep familiarity with the generative AI model landscape.
Are comfortable with numbers and can connect partnership decisions to business outcomes.
Can manage several partner relationships at once and build trust with senior stakeholders.
Have worked cross-functionally with product, engineering, finance, and marketing.
Can operate with US and European timezone overlap, with flexibility for partners in Asia.
Thrive in fast-moving environments where you define the playbook rather than follow one.
Experience working with AI model or API providers.
Familiarity with usage-based or credit-based pricing.
Experience running co-marketing or channel partnerships.
