We do this through powerful founder programs and resources, access to shared infrastructure and labs, and by convening a national network of philanthropic, corporate, and government partners, investors, universities, experts, and other organizations committed to helping breakthrough technologies reach the world.
The Engine's community includes approximately 160+ companies developing science- and engineering-based technologies across areas including energy, advanced materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, computing, robotics, and other advanced systems.
About the Role
The Engine is seeking a Partnerships & Philanthropy Associate for a full-time position providing direct support to the Director of Partnerships and the Director of Philanthropy in prospecting, executing, and managing strategic partnerships and philanthropic relationships across our Tough Tech ecosystem.
Reporting to the Director of Partnerships and the Director of Philanthropy, this role will work closely with philanthropic, corporate, and ecosystem partners, founders, and internal teams to translate relationships advancing The Engine’s impact and mission, and creating tangible opportunities for The Engine's community of Tough Tech founders and strengthening the ecosystem.
The Associate will work closely with the Directors of Partnerships and Philanthropy to identify and execute philanthropic and industry partnership opportunities, steward existing relationships, and facilitate connections between founders and industry partners, funders, and resource providers that help companies develop and scale breakthrough technologies more efficiently.
This is a highly collaborative and execution-oriented role for someone who is interested in managing philanthropic and industry engagements that scale Tough Tech.
