How to Apply for Strategic Partnerships & Business Development Lead - Americas (f/m/x)
at LiveEO
🏢 About LiveEO
LiveEO is a unique AI-driven satellite data company focused specifically on making infrastructure like energy grids and railways more resilient and climate-friendly. Unlike generic geospatial firms, they combine cutting-edge satellite technology with industry-specific AI solutions for tangible environmental impact. Working here means contributing to climate adaptation while being at the forefront of space-tech commercialization.
About This Role
This role involves building LiveEO's entire partner ecosystem across the Americas from scratch, focusing on energy and rail sectors to drive multi-million-dollar revenue through strategic alliances. You'll be creating go-to-market models and co-sell motions that directly accelerate the company's growth in new markets. It's impactful because you'll shape how satellite data solutions reach critical infrastructure industries at scale.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve scouting and contacting potential energy or rail industry partners in the Americas, designing partnership frameworks and go-to-market models, and collaborating with Sales and Marketing teams on enablement strategies. You'll balance high-level ecosystem planning with hands-on relationship building, often creating structure where none exists to drive commercial impact through strategic alliances.
