About The Position

CoreWeave is looking for a Field Business Development Manager to own and grow our most strategic partner relationships. This is a high-impact, externally-facing role sitting at the intersection of business development and go-to-market execution. You'll be the primary point of contact for a portfolio of tier-one partners — including NVIDIA, hyperscalers, and key technology partners — driving joint pipeline, co-sell motions, and mutual customer success. This role is the partner-side equivalent of a field sales leader: you'll own relationships, carry influence targets, and be accountable for measurable outcomes. You'll work closely with CoreWeave's Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Business Development organizations to align partner initiatives with company priorities.
