**Model Partnerships Manager**

###
**Location:** Bay Area preferred (onsite)

### **Capacity:** Full-time

### **🎨 About OpenArt**

OpenArt is building the future of visual storytelling. Our platform empowers creators to bring their ideas to life through AI-powered image and video generation, making high-quality creative production more accessible to everyone.
Today, OpenArt is one of the fastest-growing AI creative platforms, helping millions of people create images, videos, stories, ads, and other creative content with AI.
OpenArt was selected as one of just **five companies in the 2026 Disney Accelerator** and recognized by Notable Capital’s **Prosumer AI 40** as one of the 40 most innovative AI-native companies.
**🎯 About the Role**
This role connects OpenArt's model partners with our Product, Engineering and Growth teams. Working with frontier labs and open-source teams alike, you'll build lasting partnerships, secure early access, negotiate commercial terms, and turn each partnership into product launches and growth.

### 🛠 **What You’ll Do**

You'll own OpenArt's partnerships with LLM, image, video, audio and 3D model providers end to end, from the first conversation through ongoing account management. That includes:

- **Negotiate and manage deals:** structure API pricing, volume commitments, revenue share, early-access and exclusivity arrangements that work for both sides. Once signed, keep contracts, usage and costs on track, and make sure commitments on both sides are met.

- **Land day-one launches:** secure early access to new models and coordinate with Product and Engineering so they ship on OpenArt at or near launch.

- **Drive joint go-to-market:** develop co-marketing with providers (launch announcements, case studies, creator showcases, events) and work with Growth on positioning and activation.

### ⚙ **What We’re Looking For**

- 3+ years in partnerships, business development, or developer/platform relationships, ideally in AI, creative tools, cloud or developer platforms, with a track record of negotiating and closing commercial agreements such as API, licensing or revenue-share deals. An existing network across AI labs and model providers is a strong plus.

- Excellent relationship-building skills, comfort talking technical details (APIs, rate limits, latency, pricing per output) with engineers and business details with executives.

### Nice to have

- Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish or other languages useful for partnering with global model providers.

### **🚀 Why Join OpenArt**

- You'll shape which models millions of creators can use, and how fast they get them.

- High ownership, direct exposure to leadership, and a seat at the center of the creative AI ecosystem.

- Work with a collaborative, global team at the forefront of AI and creative technology.

### 💰 **Compensation**

- $140K - $170K base salary, plus annual bonus and RSUs

- Equity - meaningful ownership in what you build
