About the role
Atom.com is looking for an Ecosystem Development Associate to help build and grow our partner network from the ground up. This is a hands-on role for someone early in their partnerships career who is energized by outreach, relationship-building, and making things happen.
You’re plugged into the AI startup world — you follow what’s being built, who’s building it, and where those conversations are happening. You’re ready to turn that awareness into real partnerships.
What You’ll Do
- Support outreach and relationship development with AI startups, developer tools, accelerators, and founder communities
- Help build and manage a pipeline of partnership opportunities from first contact through activation
- Coordinate co-marketing, referral, and integration opportunities with partner teams
- Assist in developing partner-facing materials, onboarding flows, and program documentation
- Track partnership activity and outcomes in CRM and report on progress
- Participate in founder communities and ecosystem spaces where Atom’s partners live
What We’re Looking For
- 1 to 3 years of experience in partnerships, business development, account management, or a related role
- Genuine familiarity with the AI startup ecosystem — you know the players and follow the space
- Strong communicator who builds rapport quickly and follows through consistently
- Organized and self-motivated; you manage your own pipeline without being nudged
- Excited to be part of building something from an early stage
- Startup or marketplace experience is a plus
