Technical Program Manager Partnerships

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager Partnerships to build and manage strategic relationships with Digital Intellectual Property (IP) owners and AI labs. This role blends program management, partnerships, and technical / IP diligenceideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, business, and legal deal-making. You'll own Digital Intellectual Property (IP) acquisition and licensing deals from start to finish : sourcing, evaluation, negotiation, legal due diligence, and execution. Over time, you'll build a scalable playbook and portfolio that drives recurring deal flow and long-term value for Pareto and our clients.

Key responsibilities include :

  • Source, engage, and manage relationships with IP owners.
  • Act as intermediary between IP owners and AI labs (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI).
  • Coordinate legal / IP due diligence and contracts (MNDA, content evaluation, IP transfer).
  • Negotiate commercial terms and deal structures.
  • Oversee technical digital IP evaluation (metadata, samples, quality checks).
  • Manage timelines and stakeholder communication across Pareto, IP owners, and labs.
  • Build repeatable playbooks for IP acquisition and licensing.

What you'll work on daily includes :

  • Outreach and relationship management with IP owners.
  • Running IP evaluations (collecting metadata, code samples).
  • Coordinating legal documentation and due diligence.
  • Negotiating pricing and deal terms.
  • Internal reporting and alignment with Pareto + client stakeholders.
  • Key initiatives you'll support include :

  • Digital IP sourcing and acquisition pipeline.
  • AI lab partnerships (training & benchmarking content).
  • Commercial expansion (multi-lab licensing, portfolio building).
  • What success looks like :

    Short-term (06 months) :

  • Close 23 acquisition / licensing deals.
  • Create a playbook for repeatable deal execution.
  • Long-term (618 months) :

  • Build a scalable acquisition pipeline.
  • Manage a portfolio of assets generating revenue from multiple AI labs.
  • Required skills & qualifications include :

  • Familiarity with GitHub / Git workflows.
  • Understanding of IP / licensing models (open source vs proprietary).
  • Strong deal negotiation and contract management skills.
  • 37+ years in business development, partnerships, program management, product management, or technical program management, ideally with exposure to software / IP transactions.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred (Business, Computer Science, Law, or related). Equivalent experience acceptable.
  • Industry experience in SaaS, dev tools, AI / ML, or open-source ecosystems preferred.
  • Preferred qualifications (nice-to-have) include :

  • Prior experience with IP transfers, M&A, or licensing agreements.
  • Network in OSS or AI developer communities.
  • Exposure to AI training / benchmarking workflows.
  • Experience in technical diligence for software / codebases.
  • Soft skills include :

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills.
  • Negotiation and conflict resolution ability.
  • High attention to detail, especially with legal / contract work.
  • Why join Pareto?

  • Work directly with top AI labs (Anthropic, Google Deepmind, Amazon,OpenAI, Cognition, etc.) on strategic IP acquisitions.
  • Help shape a new category at the intersection of AI training + OSS / IP deal-making.
  • Direct impact on Pareto's growth by building our acquisition / licensing pipeline.
  • Be part of a fast-moving, entrepreneurial, high-ownership culture.
