Turn signed commercial partnerships into delivered outcomes and long-term trust

Dunia is building AI for one of the hardest unsolved problems in science: turning materials discovery from an academic, trial-and-error process into a programmable, scalable discipline.

At Dunia, signing a deal is the beginning, not the finish line. Our commercial partners come to us with complex, high-stakes problems at the intersection of AI, chemistry, and automation. Delivery is where trust is earned or lost.

As Partnership Manager, you own that moment.

You take over once a commercia partnership is signed and are accountable for ensuring intent becomes results: the right work gets done, by the right teams, at the right time, with no surprises. When delivery is excellent, partnerships deepen.

This is not a sales role, its an ownership role.

Your tasks will include:

• Become the trusted counterpart for a portfolio of strategic commercial partners
• Understand what success truly looks like for them, beyond the contract language
• Be an advocate for the commercial partner internally, andanadvocate for Dunia externally, with equal clarity

• Coordinate execution across AI, chemistry, automation, and lab teams
• Resolve ambiguity, manage tradeoffs, and keep momentum

Protect trust

• Keep expectationsaligned with reality at all times
• Build credibility by doing what you say you will do

Grow what works

• Spot opportunities where delivered value can turn into deeper collaboration
