Director, Partnerships SI
Partnerships · Full-time · San Francisco; New York; Remote
ApplySpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
As Director, Consulting & SI Partnerships at Cursor, you’ll own the execution of our most strategic partnerships with top-tier consultancies (Bain, McKinsey, BCG) and global systems integrators (Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, EY, Infosys, Cognizant, NTT Data, Wipro). You’ll be responsible for driving adoption, deployment velocity, and long-term stickiness of Cursor across the Fortune Global 2000 through partner-led motions.
You’ll operate at the center of our partner ecosystem, working closely with partner leadership, Cursor Sales, Field Engineering, and Product to turn partnerships into a scalable revenue and deployment engine. This is a highly cross-functional, execution-heavy role focused on translating partnership strategy into real pipeline, production deployments, and measurable impact.
What you’ll do
Own partner portfolio end-to-end. Manage 3–5 strategic consulting and SI partners, including QBRs, joint business plans, pipeline reviews, and escalations.
Build working-level relationships. Develop strong relationships with Practice Leads, Client Partners, and Principals; become the go-to contact for partners engaging with Cursor.
Drive co-sell execution. Lead account mapping, pipeline generation, and joint deal execution alongside Cursor’s enterprise sales team.
Operationalize partner enablement. Launch and scale certification programs, training, FDE playbooks, and reference architectures to enable partners to deploy Cursor effectively.
Convert pilots to production. Partner closely with Field Engineering, APM/ADM, and account teams to move partner-led pilots into scaled production deployments.
Unblock deployments. Coordinate across teams to resolve delivery challenges, staffing gaps, and technical blockers impacting partner success.
Track and drive adoption metrics. Monitor partner-driven pipeline, certified headcount, and time-to-production to improve execution over time.
Execute joint GTM initiatives. Deliver co-branded content, research, case studies, and events that position Cursor and partners as leaders in AI-driven software development.
