Lead and scale the team demonstrating utility-scale quantum applications to enterprise partners and drive hardware demand through quantified business cases.

О компании

is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.
With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!
We are seeking a Director of Applications to translate complex enterprise computational bottlenecks into quantified quantum business cases that drive hardware demand. In this role, you will lead, build, and scale the team responsible for demonstrating utility-scale quantum value to global enterprise partners. You will take ownership of our End-User Partnerships across target industries, leading a small senior team of Quantum Algorithm Experts, Applications Engineers, and Solutions Engineers, while serving as the executive interface to strategic and technical leadership at top-tier partner organizations.

Требования

Business Case & Value Creation: Proven track record of building quantified business cases for complex technology adoption, ideally within compute-intensive domains (e.g. HPC, AI, advanced software).
