Job description

About the company

the company is the leading conversational AI platform empowering every brand to deliver concierge customer experiences.

Our technology enables industry-defining enterprises like Avis Budget Group, Block’s Cash App and Square, Chime, Oura Health, and Hunter Douglas to deploy AI agents that power personalized, deeply satisfying interactions across voice, chat, email, SMS, and every other channel.

We’re building a future where customer experiences are being redefined from support tickets and hold music to faster resolutions, richer conversations, and deeper relationships. We’re proud to be backed by world-class investors who share that vision, including a16z, Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, Coatue, and Index Ventures, along with many others.

We’re an in-office company, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and velocity. Our values — Just Get It Done, Invent What Customers Want, Winner’s Mindset, and The Polymath Principle — shape how we work and grow as a team.

About the Role

the company is scaling rapidly, and we’re looking to bring on Business Development, EMEA to join the Founder’s Office and help drive expansion. This role is responsible for cultivating and deepening the company’s executive relationships across large enterprises, private equity firms, strategic partners, and the broader technology and investment ecosystem.

In this role, you will work closely with the company’s founders, executive team, and go-to-market leaders to prospect, cultivate, and secure meaningful relationships with senior decision-makers across Europe largest companies, high-growth technology firms, and PE- and VC-backed portfolios. You will often serve as a first point of contact for executives engaging with the company and are expected to deliver clear value in every interaction.

This is not a traditional sales role. Success depends on judgment, executive presence, and the ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, founder-led situations.

We’d love to hear from you if you are energized by working with senior executives, thrive in fast-moving and unstructured environments, are comfortable engaging both in-person and through modern GTM tools, and bring deep respect for operators and entrepreneurs building complex businesses.

Your background looks something like this

• 8+ years of experience in strategic growth, partnerships, enterprise GTM, or founder-adjacent roles
• Demonstrated ability to build trust and credibility with senior executives, VC/PE investors, and operators, and close complex, relationship-driven opportunities
• Must be proficient in German
• Strong executive presence and communication skills
• Proven judgment in prioritizing deals, partners, and markets
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments without heavy process
• Willingness to travel as needed
