We are seeking an experienced Grants & Tenders Manager to join us in shaping the future of quantum computing. Our mission is to make quantum computing practical and impactful, and it is trusted by Fortune 500 leaders and governments across the globe.
This role will be responsible for leading the identification, analysis, and submission of public funding opportunities and tenders across the APAC region, including Japan, Singapore, India, Taiwan, and Vietnam. This also includes discovering and supporting Government-to-Government (G2G) programs and uncovering local/national tenders issued by individual cities and various government agencies in Japan and the rest of APAC as applicable.
Note: This is a hybrid 80/20 role with the 20% related to APAC Channel Partners, working with regional Account Executives as well as Customer Success Managers, as directed by APAC MD.
What you'll do

- International Exposure: Opportunities to travel for global team gatherings, strategy offsites, and ecosystem events (e.g., major quantum conferences in APAC and elsewhere).
- Wellness Subsidy: For example, a monthly gym subsidy (for a gym located in the same building) to support your physical health, as we believe performance starts with wellbeing.
