Description
ABOUT US:
At Fireworks, we’re building the future of generative AI infrastructure. Our platform delivers the highest-quality models with the fastest and most scalable inference in the industry. We’ve been independently benchmarked as the leader in LLM inference speed and are driving cutting-edge innovation through projects like our own function calling and multimodal models. Fireworks is a Series C company valued at $4 billion and backed by top investors including Benchmark, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Index, and Evantic. We’re an ambitious, collaborative team of builders, founded by veterans of Meta PyTorch and Google Vertex AI.
In the last few months alone we launched Fireworks Training, partnered with Microsoft Azure Foundry, and published research straight from our production systems. A few examples of what that looks like in practice:
- Frontier RL is cheaper than the mega-cluster narrative suggests: we ran cross-region rollouts using 98% sparse weight deltas and published what we learned. (blog https://fireworks.ai/blog/frontier-rl-is-cheaper-than-you-think)
- Open source agents with frontier advisors: matching frontier performance through training and harness engineering. (blog https://fireworks.ai/blog/open-source-agents-frontier-advisors)
- The fine-tuning bottleneck is not the algorithm: integration friction and iteration speed are what actually stall teams; we documented the patterns across dozens of customer engagements. (blog) https://fireworks.ai/blog/fine-tuning-bottlenecks
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're hiring a high-ownership sales operator to drive sourced pipeline and revenue through the Microsoft Azure channel.
This is a quota-carrying, field-facing role. You'll map Microsoft's ISV and enterprise field org, activate co-sell motions with the right PDMs and AEs, and build the repeatable sales plays that move customers to Fireworks AI through Azure Foundry. You'll own the forecast and the number.
The playbook doesn't fully exist yet. You'll have real influence over how we engage Microsoft's field teams, what good looks like for partner-sourced pipeline, and how we build a co-sell motion that scales across ISV and enterprise segments. If you thrive when you're creating from scratch and can hold yourself accountable to a number while doing it, this is the role.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Pipeline and revenue
- Source and own a pipeline target through the Microsoft Azure channel
- Co-sell qualified opportunities with Microsoft ISV and enterprise AEs and PDMs
- Run weekly forecasting cadences with accurate CRM hygiene and clear escalation visibility
Team mapping and stakeholder management
- Build and maintain a living map of Microsoft's field org across ISV and enterprise-facing teams - who owns which accounts, who moves deals, who has co-sell budget
- Develop working relationships with PDMs, field AEs, and ISV partner managers at Microsoft
- Serve as Fireworks AI's primary point of contact for joint business reviews, pipeline reviews, and co-sell coordination
Sales plays and enablement
- Develop sales plays tailored to the ISV and enterprise motion - positioning Fireworks AI's inference platform against the decision criteria that matter in each segment
- Build and deliver enablement for Microsoft field sellers on Fireworks AI: clear, crisp positioning they can use in front of customers without a technical translator
- Design the intake, escalation, and co-sell workflows that keep deals from stalling
Joint planning and operations
- Own joint business planning with Microsoft counterparts: territory plans, account maps, co-sell targets, and QBR cadences
- Coordinate co-marketing moments (joint events, solution briefs, field plays) that generate ISV and enterprise pipeline
- Surface field intelligence from Microsoft conversations back to Fireworks AI's product and GTM teams
YOU'RE A GOOD FIT IF YOU
- Have 7+ years in GTM, partnerships, or field sales at a technology company - and a track reco
