Hanomi

Partnerships & Business Development Manager

San Francisco, United States · Full-time · 5 to 9 years

What we are building

Every physical object you've touched today started life as a 3D model and had to become a set of 2D drawings before anyone could actually build it. That translation step is still mostly done by hand, and it's a bottleneck in nearly every engineering team we meet.

Hanomi.ai helps engineering and manufacturing teams automate the creation of production-ready technical drawings from 3D CAD models. We work with companies where technical drawings, GD&T, CAD data, and manufacturing documentation are central to how products move from design to production. The ecosystem sitting around that problem, service providers, engineering firms, CAD and PLM platforms, is wide open.

This role will focus on identifying and developing partnerships with manufacturing service providers, engineering firms, CAD and PLM ecosystem players, technology partners, resellers, and industry networks.

• Maintain a structured partner pipeline and track progress
• Coordinate internal follow-ups after partner meetings
• Gather market feedback from partners and share insights with the team
• Help create partner-facing material, presentations, and communication

What you’ll need from day one

• 5 to 9 years in partnerships, business development, channel development, strategic alliances, or enterprise sales
• Experience working with US customers or partners
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Ability to understand technical products and identify commercial opportunitiesExperience managing long-term business relationships
