Director, Partnerships SI

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.

As Director, Consulting & SI Partnerships at Cursor, you’ll own the execution of our most strategic partnerships with top-tier consultancies (Bain, McKinsey, BCG) and global systems integrators (Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, EY, Infosys, Cognizant, NTT Data, Wipro). You’ll be responsible for driving adoption, deployment velocity, and long-term stickiness of Cursor across the Fortune Global 2000 through partner-led motions.

You’ll operate at the center of our partner ecosystem, working closely with partner leadership, Cursor Sales, Field Engineering, and Product to turn partnerships into a scalable revenue and deployment engine. This is a highly cross-functional, execution-heavy role focused on translating partnership strategy into real pipeline, production deployments, and measurable impact.
