• Build and manage relationships with internal leadership and cross-functional partners (e.g., Product, Hardware, Marketing, Comms, Legal, Policy) to align on strategy and unlock execution capacity
• Train colleagues across XFNs on glasses onboarding tactics to ensure a successful seeding experience for partners
• Develop and maintain external partner frameworks that support seeding logistics and tracking across creators, athletes, public figures, and institutional partners

• Experience in partnerships, media, sports, entertainment, or creator ecosystems
• Demonstrated ability to improve operating cadence and execution at scale across multiple markets or regions
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
