About CuspAI CuspAI is the frontier AI company on a mission to solve the breakthrough materials needed to power human progress. While nature took billions of years to perfect molecules, we are harnessing AI to unlock trillion-dollar materials breakthroughs in months, not millennia. Our founding team is the most cited in the world, comprised of world-class researchers in AI, chemistry and engineering.
We are working on some of the hardest and most important challenges including energy, clean water, the future of compute, and carbon capture, and this is just the start of what our 'search engine' for next-generation materials will unlock.
We invite you to be part of a diverse, innovative team at the intersection of AI and materials science, working to create impactful partnerships that drive innovation, scalability, and industry collaboration. This work matters. Your work matters.
We’re on the cusp of the on-demand materials era. Join us. The Role
Due to our rapid growth and the expansion of our research capabilities, we are seeking an experienced Partnerships Manager to lead the development of our R&D "supply chain" across EMEA, ensuring CuspAI has the data, compute, and laboratory access required to accelerate materials discovery.
Your Impact
In this role you will be building the foundational ecosystem of technical and academic alliances that fuel our R&D engine, which is critical for CuspAI’s mission to solve global challenges like carbon capture and clean energy.
Your main focus initially will be securing high-value compute agreements and establishing formal data-sharing partnerships with publishers, experimental labs, and academic institutions. Over time you could also get involved in shaping our long-term grant strategy and managing complex multi-party collaborations between CuspAI and world-leading experimental labs.
