Aptitude, Attitude and Agency. APTITUDE - High AI literacy, you're already using AI daily in your work and can articulate how you'd apply it to partnerships at Dust - Proven go-to-market strategy experience: customer-obsessed, first-principles thinking, not just copy-pasting past playbooks - Experience building partnerships at a startup or scale-up (not large enterprise reseller models) - Specific experience with agency partners, system integrators, or similar zero-to-one motions - Grit and sales acumen, you can convince partners, hold them accountable, and go through windows when doors are closed ATTITUDE - Team player who solves for Dust and its customers, not just partnerships metrics - Low ego, high impact, you leverage others' work and make the broader team better - Decisive — you make tough calls on prioritisation and aren't afraid to cut partnerships that aren't working - Direct and transparent, you surface problems early and give honest feedback - User-first orientation, you frame decisions around customer outcomes without being prompted AGENCY - You unblock yourself with AI and people, scaling your impact through tools and cross-functional leverage - You own outcomes end-to-end, identifying gaps, building solutions, and driving to resolution without being told - You challenge the goal when it's wrong, high agency in execution AND thinking - You've expanded your scope by solving problems no one assigned you - You launch things without waiting for permission and find ways to deliver with limited resources LOCATION We're prioritizing building our team with an in-person culture at our offices in Paris, London, San Francisco, and New York because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together. We have an office-first culture. Some of the best things about building at Dust are the energy, the fast decisions, and the unexpected conversations that unlock a hard problem, which happen because we are in the same room. Being together is not a formality, it is how we do our best work, and it is something we actively protect. That said, we hire people with strong judgement and we extend that trust to how they manage their time. When working from home makes more sense for what you need to get done that day, we trust you to make that call. WHY DUST The models are powerful enough. What's missing is the product layer where AI meets how companies actually work. That's what we're building: the infrastructure that lets any team turn scattered knowledge and tools into coordinated execution with agents they build, own, and run themselves. We use Dust ourselves every day. We get to shape how humans and agents collaborate while solving our own problems with the product we ship. That loop is rare, and it's why we move fast. If you're excited about defining a new category and want to join a determined team of optimists who focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously, we'd love to talk. Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
