We hold the key to making quantum technology useful. Q-CTRL is defining the quantum infrastructure software segment, and our products are revolutionizing the way quantum technology is used. From educating the workforce on how quantum computing works with Black Opal, to our industry-first November 2023 announcement that Q-CTRL’s performance-management software is now natively integrated with IBM Quantum services, we are building the global quantum sector. But our work isn’t limited to quantum computing: we go everywhere that quantum goes. In July 2023 our work with Australian Defence on software-ruggedized quantum sensing for navigation without GPS was featured in the New York Times.

We base these world-leading commercial outcomes on a base of transformational research. We operate the industry’s largest team of experts in quantum control, and push the limits of human capability through our software, hardware, and technical publications in the world’s most prestigious scientific journals.

As a high-growth global quantum startup we’ve raised over US $72M since 2017 from investors such as Airbus Ventures, Horizon Ventures, Main Sequence Ventures, SquarePeg Capital, Sierra Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and others; this includes the world’s largest Series B for any quantum software company. Adding to the completion of our new global HQ in Sydney (Australia’s first fully dedicated, commercial quantum technology site), Los Angeles and Berlin offices, we’ve also recently announced our expansion into the UK to continue to impact the development of quantum technology globally.

We’re led by our values; to be real, to be trusted, to be just, and to be revered. We’ve brought together an inspiring team of world-leading physicists, engineers, product and design specialists (to name a few!) to help us shape the future of quantum technology. And we’re looking for new team members who want to help us change the world.

You will be responsible for leading all US and UK business development initiatives in Quantum Sensing while furthering broader US Government Engagement (which includes our initiatives in Quantum Computing). In addition to having direct responsibility for sales and business development initiatives, you will provide key input into other functions of the company, including product management and strategic partnerships.

Sensing specific experience: You will have significant experience working with research programs and helping commercialize them. You will develop business with system integrators, and develop relationships with the end users of our Quantum Sensing technology.

Government engagement specific experience: You will have a demonstrated understanding of the structure, processes and operation of the US Government at both federal and state levels. You will have experience building trusted working relationships across government. You will have experience shaping government policy and a good understanding of government grants and other funding processes.
