You must have:
- Scientific background ideally with a relevant PhD in Quantum Information, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry or other related field or similar experience.
- Prior experience and expertise in managing clients and partners projects/program management, with the skill to navigate through ambiguity and adjust and adapt plans and strategies as project conditions change.
- You are passionate about Quantum and AI and proactive about learning and acquiring knowledge to enhance your domain knowledge.
- Experience building collaborative environments, bridging the gap between researchers, engineers and stakeholders, ensuring everyone is working towards a shared vision.
- You're a natural problem-solver, readily identifying the root causes of complex challenges to implement elegant solutions.
- Strong communication skills, ability to develop meaningful relationships with key stakeholders and leverage these to influence action and outcomes.
We value:
- Experience supporting teams in fast-paced and constantly changing environments, acting as a sounding board as individuals go through the change cycle and supporting during challenging times.
- Serve as a liaison between technical and communication teams, assisting in external communication efforts to articulate our achievements and vision effectively.
- 7+ years' experience in a scaling technology/R&D environment, with exposure to both technology and business teams.
- Strong background or understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing concepts, ideally with a focus on their intersection (Quantum AI).
- Familiarity with AI algorithms, quantum computing principles, and how these technologies can be applied to real-world problems.
- Experience working with scientific and technical teams, enabling efficient communication and understanding of complex concepts.
