Anysphere의 Strategic Partnerships & Growth Lead는 미 육군 및 방산 업체를 대상으로 Cursor의 도입을 확대하는 역할을 수행합니다. Active Secret clearance 보유가 필수이며, 방산 분야에서의 채널 영업 및 파트너십 관리 경험이 요구됩니다. 주요 방산 업체와의 관계를 구축하고 육군 소프트웨어 생태계 내에서 Cursor의 표준화를 이끄는 핵심적인 역할을 맡게 됩니다.
Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
Cursor is the AI code editor used by engineers across the defense industrial base. We're now building a dedicated motion to scale that footprint across the US Army ecosystem — through the prime contractors who build, operate, and modernize software for the Army every day.
This role owns the Army-focused prime contractor channel: standing up partnerships with defense primes, embedding Cursor into their internal development workflows and the Army programs they support, and driving enterprise agreements that put Cursor in front of every developer in the defense industrial base.
You'll be the connective tissue between Cursor's commercial GTM motion and the Army/DoD software development community — working through established prime contractor relationships rather than navigating direct government procurement from scratch.
This is a senior individual contributor role with revenue ownership, reporting directly to sales leadership.
Prime Contractor Partnerships
Own and grow Cursor's relationships with defense prime contractors focused on Army programs: SAIC, Leidos, Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI, Peraton, and emerging Army-focused software integrators
Negotiate and close partnership agreements — reseller arrangements, teaming agreements, and approved vendor designations — that embed Cursor into prime contractor software delivery workflows
Identify program-level opportunities where primes are building or modernizing Army software and position Cursor as the developer tooling standard
Work with prime contractor BD and program management teams to co-sell Cursor into new Army contract awards at the proposal stage
Army End-User Pull-Through
Build relationships inside Army Software Factories (Kessel Run, Project Origen, Castle Rock) and program offices to generate bottom-up demand that pulls through prime-channel agreements
Engage Army CIO/G-6, PEO EIS, and Futures Command tech organizations to build awareness and preference for Cursor within Army software development standards
Represent Cursor at AUSA, NDIA, and Army-focused industry events; establish Cursor's presence in the Army software modernization community
Revenue & Pipeline
Own a revenue target for Army/DoD prime channel business
Build and manage a pipeline of prime contractor partnerships and program-level co-sell opportunities
Forecast and report on channel pipeline with the same rigor as direct enterprise deals
Cross-Functional Partnership
Partner with Field Engineering on technical evaluations and POCs embedded inside prime contractor development environments
Work with Cursor's legal and compliance teams on teaming agreements, vendor qualification processes, and FedRAMP/IL considerations relevant to prime contract requirements
Channel Army developer feedback and product gaps back to Cursor's roadmap team
Required
Active Secret clearance or above — candidates without an active clearance will not be considered
5+ years of channel sales, BD, or partnership management experience inside the defense industrial base, with a focus on Army-aligned programs
Existing relationships at one or more major Army prime contractors (SAIC, Leidos, Booz Allen, CACI, Peraton) at the BD, program management, or technical leadership level
Understanding of how prime contractors evaluate, approve, and deploy software tools across their development teams and program deliveries
Track record of standing up or expanding channel and partner relationships that drove material software revenue ($500K+)
Comfortable working both the prime-facing channel layer (BD, program managers, contracts) and the end-user pull-through layer (Army software developers, Software Factory operators)
Strong Plus
Active TS/SCI
Prior active duty or civilian service in an Army software or digital modernization role (Software Factory, PEO, Army Futures Command)
Experience selling developer tools, AI/ML platforms, or SDLC tooling through or alongside defense primes
Familiarity with how Army programs evaluate and mandate developer tooling standards across prime and subcontractor teams
Existing Army-side relationships at Kessel Run, PEO EIS, Army CIO/G-6, or Futures Command
Defense primes are deploying thousands of developers on Army software programs right now. Cursor is already inside many of those organizations — but no one has systematically built the channel motion to make it the standard. You'll own that from scratch, with a product developers already choose on their own, strong existing prime contractor presence to build on, and a direct line to Cursor's GTM and product leadership.
