This role involves identifying and addressing various management challenges within the Preferred Networks group, from planning to execution and verification.
About this role
Preferred Networks (PFN) is hiring a Business Development lead for the public sector, as ministries, local governments and public agencies increasingly want generative AI and LLMs. PFN has received many inquiries because of its domestically developed foundation model PLaMo and needs someone who knows the public sector to build relationships and create projects.
The person works with clients and partners at ministries, municipalities and agencies, creates new projects through relationship building and needs discovery, and plans AI and LLM solutions with engineers. They set bid and open-call proposal strategy, write and review proposals, negotiate terms such as intellectual property, information management and procurement conditions, and shape business strategy around public policy. They start with existing public projects, then move to project creation, PoC-to-production design and alliances with system integrators and consultancies, under security requirements such as ISMAP.
Applicants need public-sector work experience, especially at central ministries, experience reaching agreement with government bodies, strong interest in AI and LLMs, and a high sense of ethics and compliance. Policy planning, public-sector consulting or IT business development experience is preferred.
