1X is scaling rapidly across consumer, enterprise, and manufacturing. We need a senior leader who can unify strategy across the company, drive high-impact BD and GTM partnerships, and relentlessly manage investor relationships. This role operates as an extension of the CFO—solving cross‑functional problems, unlocking commercial growth, and maintaining a constant investor dialogue.

Responsibilities

Corporate Strategy (Internal Alignment & Problem Solving)

  • Run the cross‑functional strategy engine that ensures Product, Engineering, Manufacturing, Finance, and Operations are solving the same problems with shared priorities.
  • Build structured problem‑solving frameworks to unblock internal bottlenecks (e.g., supply chain, scaling, unit economics, customer deployments).
  • Lead annual / quarterly strategy cycles with a focus on aligning teams around the major company “big rocks” and associated KPIs.
  • Partner with the C‑suite to drive strategic capital allocation and resource planning across orgs.
  • Own competitive intelligence and long‑term positioning across robotics, compute, and automation.

Business Development (GTM, Manufacturing & Investor‑Aware Partnerships)

  • Utilize investor network to build manufacturing partnerships, including U.S. and global suppliers, to support scaling capacity and cost‑down initiatives.
  • Utilize investor base to assist with GTM strategy with an emphasis on scalable distribution, channel partnerships, and enterprise / consumer commercialization.
  • Structure and negotiate complex agreements—GTM, distribution, supply, JV, compute‑for‑equity, and strategic commercial deals.
  • Maintain an investor‑conscious lens on BD—prioritizing deals that create enterprise value, build moat, and align with what future investors will value.
  • Build high‑level relationships with partners across hyperscalers, telcos, retailers, contract manufacturers, industrials, and ecosystem players.
  • Investor Relations (High Hustle, High Touch)

  • Own investor communications with a hustle mentality—proactive, always‑on engagement with strategic and financial investors
  • Drive continuous narrative development : equity story, KPIs, route‑to‑scale, and long‑term model.
  • Manage data rooms, investor cadence, and off‑cycle outreach to build long‑term relationships well ahead of fundraising needs.
  • Respond rapidly to investor inbound and orchestrate follow‑ups, materials, and cross‑functional responses with precision and urgency.
  • Support CFO in fundraising prep, roadshows, diligence, and managing investor expectations.
  • Qualifications

  • 10–15 years across corporate strategy, BD / GTM, and / or strategic finance at a frontier‑tech or advanced hardware company.
  • Experience building partnerships across manufacturing, GTM, supply chain, or large ecosystem partners .
  • Strong operational grounding and ability to run multi‑org initiatives.
  • Demonstrated ability to structure, negotiate, and close high‑value strategic and commercial deals.
  • Exceptional ability to synthesize technical, operational, and financial details into actionable strategy and investor‑ready narratives.
  • Preferred Experience (Nice‑to‑Have)

  • VC, IBD, or consulting exposure (strategy, diligence, deal structuring).
  • Experience working with hyperscalers and industrial conglomerates.
  • Prior experience at a high‑growth Series B–E tech company.
  • Ideal Candidate

  • Internal integrator : Makes all orgs row in the same direction.
  • Deal closer : Knows how to build and close transformative GTM and manufacturing partnerships.
  • Investor hustle : Always on, responsive, proactive—treats investors like customers.
  • Strategic operator : Balances long‑term vision with short‑term execution.
  • Narrative builder : Communicates clearly with partners, investors, and execs.
  • Low ego, high output , thrives in ambiguity and speed.
  • Benefits & Compensation

  • Salary Range : $210,000 - $240,000 + equity
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Equal Opportunity Employer

    1X is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, age, marital status, medical condition, genetic information, disability, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law.
