Head of Data Partnerships

## Head of Data Partnerships

83 Sciences is building the data and AI infrastructure for scientific discovery. Almost 90% of experimental data is discarded, losing over $100B in R&D value every year. 83 Sciences turns unused experimental data into the materials and manufacturing processes powering the next industrial revolution.

Our ambition is to **own or license the world’s experimental data** and use it to build better models for science.

## The Role

Your first job is to build our university data network, starting with individual labs and scaling to departments and institution-wide partnerships. From there, you’ll expand into industry R&D and other major sources of proprietary experimental data.

You will:

* Build and close partnerships with universities and research labs * Navigate complex relationships across faculty, research leadership, tech transfer, legal, and administrators * Structure data access, licensing, and partnership agreements * Translate partner needs into product requirements * Work closely with product and engineering to build tools researchers actually want to use * Create scalable partnership models that can grow from one lab to an entire institution * Expand the network over time into industry R&D and other proprietary data sources

We’re looking for someone who can operate like a founder: build relationships from scratch, manage ambiguity, move quickly, and turn partner insight directly into product and strategy.

**Your mandate: build the network that gives 83 Sciences access to the world’s most valuable experimental data.**
