Company Operating Rhythm

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

Deepgram is the Voice AI platform powering the next generation of enterprise voice agents, contact centers, and real-time speech applications. As we continue scaling our enterprise footprint, Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) are one of our highest-leverage routes to market. We are hiring a GSI Partner Manager / Director to build and scale Deepgram’s global GSI partner ecosystem from the ground up.

This is a highly strategic, builder-oriented role focused on developing and expanding relationships with GSIs such as Deloitte, Accenture, TCS, Capgemini, and BCG. You will define what an AI-native partner motion looks like at Deepgram — driving sell-to, sell-through, and sell-with motions while leveraging AI, automation, and data to scale impact far beyond a traditional alliances organization.

If you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy building from zero, and are excited about reshaping enterprise partnerships in the AI era, we’d love to meet you.

*For candidates outside of the US, we use an Employer of Record model in many countries, which means benefits are administered locally and governed by country-specific regulations. Because of this, benefits will differ by region — in some cases international employees receive benefits US employees do not, and vice versa. As we scale, we will continue to evaluate where we can create more alignment, but a 1:1 global benefits structure is not always legally or operationally possible.
