Your mission
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.

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.
