Job Description

General Manager leading a new business unit for Quantum Machines, focusing on technology and market strategy. Overseeing product direction, customer relationships, and team management.

Responsibilities:

  • Direct and lead the business unit from day one
  • Define and continuously refine the go-to-market approach, pricing, and positioning
  • Work closely with customers and prospects to qualify opportunities, close deals, and feed market insight back into the product
  • Set product and technical priorities for your team, in close collaboration with Quantum Machines’ engineering organization — you direct what gets built, and the engineering org ensures it gets built well
  • Recruit, lead, and develop a small multidisciplinary team

Requirements:

  • A track record of building or growing a technology business, product line, or venture — ideally from early traction to scale.
  • A track record of leading the development of a product or technology.
  • Hands-on experience with qubits or QPUs (the more of the following, the merrier): qubits/QPU measurements, cryogenics, control electronics, control software, fabrication.
  • Quantum savviness - prior exposure to quantum computing, advanced electronics, or adjacent deep-tech fields.
  • Strong business instincts: you can construct a business case, read a market, and make sound resource and prioritization decisions under uncertainty.
  • Technical depth and passion for tech even if you don’t write code, you’ll need to earn the respect of engineers and be able to make informed technical decisions based on a real understanding of technological aspects.
  • Willingness and excitement to do hands-on work to whatever extent is needed.
  • High agency and comfort with ambiguity this role is not for someone who needs a playbook or micro-management.
  • Excellent communication skills, both with customers and internally with senior leadership.
  • Experience working with or selling into technical buyers (engineers, CTOs, research organizations, or similar).
