Job Description
Director of Strategic Partners – OEM & Embedded AI
Qdrant
• We are seeking a high-level commercial operator to build our OEM and Embedded AI business from the ground up. • You will identify, negotiate, and close complex "White-Label" and "Embedded" partnerships where Qdrant becomes the underlying vector engine for major ISVs, SaaS platforms, and Global Systems Integrators. • You will hunt for the "Whales"—the platforms that need semantic search, RAG, or recommendation engines native to their own products. • Simultaneously, you will align with the innovators. • You will forge strategic alliances with cutting-edge System Integrators and Developer Platforms that are building the next wave of AI. • You will ensure that when these builders define the modern AI stack—whether via a boutique AI consultancy or a next-gen agent framework—Qdrant is the embedded default. • You will define the "Stripe for AI" strategy for Qdrant.
Job Requirements
- OEM Mastery: You have specific experience selling "Embedded," "OEM," or "White-Label" technology.
- Technical Fluency: You can explain to a Product VP why they should embed Qdrant rather than building their own vector search on top of PostgreSQL or ElasticSearch.
- Commercial Creativity: You are comfortable structuring non-standard partnerships.
- Patience & Grit: You have the resilience to manage 6-12 month partnership cycles with multiple stakeholders (Product, Engineering, Legal, Procurement).
- Collaboration: You can work hand-in-glove with our Solutions Architects to prove technical feasibility during the "design-in" phase of a partnership.
Benefits
- Global Environment: A diverse, international team with the freedom to work remotely or in a hybrid setup.
- Professional Growth: Continuous learning opportunities, with support for professional development and technical conferences.
- Competitive Compensation: A comprehensive package that includes a competitive salary, benefits, and equity options.
