** ABOUT AARU
** Aaru operates at the frontier of predictive intelligence, using AI to simulate and predict human behavior  generating and deploying instances of artificial intelligence that mirror humans, called agents, Aaru simulates entire populations with unprecedented accuracy. Our partners use Aaru to refine strategic positioning, identify and understand high-value audiences, validate concepts and messaging before launch, optimize pricing decisions, and build a continuously richer understanding of their customers through simulation.

We provide organizations with invaluable foresight, empowering them to anticipate outcomes and proactively make the right decisions at the right time, every time.

We're a small, dedicated, mission-driven team and we intend to stay that way. We believe the best work happens when exceptionally talented people are given ownership, trust and the space to operate without bureaucratic friction. We work with urgency and intellectual honesty and expect new team members to match our velocity. We seek individuals who thrive at the frontier, who push beyond conventional limits, who bring curiosity and conviction in equal measure, and who want their work to have demonstrable impact in the world.

If you're energized by the idea of a small team doing things that feel impossible, let’s build together.##
** ABOUT

** Aaru is looking for a Global Alliance Director to develop and drive revenue with a portfolio of strategic partners. Aaru's clients and partners use behavioral simulations to pressure-test high-stakes decisions before they're made: M&A strategy, product launches, policy shifts, and geopolitical risk assessments. You are selling a novel capability to some of the world’s most sophisticated decision-makers, including C-suite executives and government officials.

** YOU MAY BE A FIT IF
*** You have 7+ years in enterprise sales or strategic alliances roles, owning a revenue number and selling a complex, high-value, or AI product into sophisticated customers.
* You know how to sell outcomes rather than features, and have experience enabling partners to do the same. You can build a compelling ROI narrative and make it credible to a skeptical executive audience.
* You have experience selling to and through partners, not just direct, and understand the nuances of co-selling and partner-influenced deals.
* You are comfortable building pipeline…
