About the role

We are looking for an experienced Technical Partnerships Manager to own, develop, and scale strategic technology partnerships that expand the reach and impact of NEXUS. This role sits at the intersection of business development and technical strategy — you will be responsible for building deep, mutually beneficial relationships with cloud providers (AWS), data platforms, infrastructure software companies, and marketplace partners.

You will act as the connective tissue between our partners' technical and business teams and Fundamental's product, engineering, and go-to-market organizations — ensuring seamless integrations, joint solutions, and co-sell motions that drive adoption and revenue for both sides.

This is a high-visibility role with direct impact on Fundamental's growth trajectory and how enterprises discover, deploy, and scale NEXUS across their data infrastructure.
