About the Role
Bluestaq is seeking a Senior Partner Development Manager to grow and strengthen the vendor ecosystem behind our Global Data Marketplace (GDM). GDM is a curated, contract-light platform that connects DoD, Intelligence Community, and allied government customers with 300+ vetted data vendors across geospatial, OSINT, weather, maritime, RF, and dozens of other domains. It lets government buyers discover, evaluate, and procure data quickly, without the friction of lengthy procurement cycles.
In this role, you will own the supply side of the marketplace. You will identify high-value data providers across priority domains, pitch them on GDM as the right channel to reach government buyers, and guide them from first contact through agreement, onboarding, and go-live. Your job is to deepen and broaden the GDM catalog so it remains the most comprehensive source of trusted data for the customers who depend on it. This is a partner-building role focused on growing the vendor ecosystem and occasionally supporting sellers with GDM related opportunities.
Why This Role Matters
Every vendor you bring onto GDM expands what an operator, analyst, or decision-maker can access at the speed the mission demands. The depth and range of the catalog you build directly shapes the value GDM delivers to national security customers and allied partners. This is a role with real ownership and visibility, and significant room to grow as the program scales. If you like building ecosystems, opening doors, and turning a strong platform into one customers can't do without, this is your opportunity.

Variable Compensation: This role is eligible for a performance-based incentive plan tied to measurable objectives (MBO). Targets include vendor onboarding volume, time-to-activation, catalog coverage across priority data domains, and overall marketplace growth. The plan rewards expanding the depth and range of the GDM ecosystem rather than individual sales transactions.
Required Location & Travel
This position remote, open to candidates based in Colorado or Virginia. This role requires substantial travel time: a minimum of 12 trips per year to customer, partner, or government sites, including secure facilities.
Clearance Requirement: This position may require the ability to obtain a TS/SCI Clearance. To be eligible for a security clearance, U.S. citizenship is required, and an employee must agree to participate in a background screen and credit check. Eligibility for a TS/SCI Clearance will be assessed as part of the onboarding process or based on programmatic needs.
About Bluestaq
