About Nucs AI

Nucs AI is revolutionizing cancer care through cutting-edge AI and medical imaging technology. Founded in 2024 by a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, AI researchers, and healthcare innovators, we’re tackling one of medicine’s most pressing challenges: the growing demand for accurate, timely cancer diagnostics in the face of rising scan volumes and limited radiologist capacity.

We sit at the intersection of diagnostics and treatment planning—building AI-powered tools at the convergence of medical imaging, radioligand therapy, and artificial intelligence. Starting with prostate cancer and expanding across oncology, we partner with world-leading medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies across the US, Europe, and Australia to bring precision oncology into everyday clinical practice.

Our mission is to enhance diagnostic precision and expand access to expert-level cancer care, improving patient outcomes worldwide. We’re venture-backed, early-stage, and building a team that blends deep clinical expertise with engineering intensity—moving with the rigor the medical field demands and the speed the problem deserves.

The Opportunity

This role is not about managing partnerships from a distance—it’s about being the living, breathing embodiment of Nucs AI in every room you walk into. As Partnership Director, you’ll sit right next to the CEO, building the relationships, reputation, and commercial partnerships that define how the world experiences this company. You’ll own the full lifecycle of our strategic partnerships with hospitals, pharma companies, imaging networks, and research institutions—and you’ll project manage every external engagement to ensure we deliver on our promises.

The right person for this role is an elite networker and communicator who carries themselves with polish, gravitas, and genuine warmth. You don’t just open doors—you walk through them and build something lasting on the other side. You sell the big vision without making noise. You make everyone in the room want to work with Nucs AI because of how you show up, not because of a hard pitch. People trust you because you’re authentic, prepared, and relentlessly focused on creating mutual value.

This is a builder’s role at a company that’s defining a new category in precision oncology. You’ll guide commercial strategy, shape how Nucs AI is perceived in the market, and drive the partnerships that accelerate our mission. Ego has no place here—this is about the company, the partners, and the patients. You’ll come to the table with a specific portfolio of relationships, a clear vision for how to deploy them, and a concrete plan for what you’ll do in your first 90 days.
