Job description

We have grown our ARR by >2x since the start of the year so we are looking to scale our gtm efforts!

This is not the typical BD role, you would be working on executive contacts & relationships, targeting C-suite & exclusive events for our founders.

If you are looking for a role with a great deal of pain & suffering (see more from Jensen Huang here) & excited about bringing to market data science agents, Biz Dev & AI startups & - we may have something for you.

Please consider joining us if you are up for proving yourself, figuring things out on your own and be given a lot of opportunity & accountability to get things done.

If you are looking for formal/structured business development/sales training, that’s probably not a good fit. Probably a larger company and a role within a large Business Development/Sals team would fit you better.
