Job description

Our client is a venture-funded AI platform changing how consumer brands turn data into decisions — bringing internal research, market data and social signals together into one trusted, auditable view that leaders actually act on. Already proven with Fortune 500 names across food & beverage, CPG and retail, they've recently completed an early round of venture funding and are building out the commercial team, one vertical at a time.

The opportunity

We're looking for a Brand Account Manager with 3-6 years' experience who is an industry insider with a deep, genuine passion for a specific consumer vertical. This is a rare opportunity for a strategist to become the authority in their space — leveraging a cutting-edge AI platform to build and own an entire vertical from the ground up. You're not just a rep; you're the founder of a vertical, here to build a book of business that grows with you.

What you'll be doing

• Owning the full commercial motion in your vertical — from generating pipeline and outreach to demos and closing enterprise deals.
• Building and growing deep, multi-threaded relationships across insights, marketing and strategy teams at your accounts.
• Expanding revenue within existing logos by acting as a strategic partner, not just a vendor.
• Becoming the face of the company in your industry — creating content, speaking at conferences and establishing yourself as a thought leader.
• Translating real industry problems into product insights that directly shape the roadmap.

What we're looking for

• 3-6 years in a strategy, commercial or revenue role, ideally with time spent inside a brand or retailer in the verticals served (food & beverage, CPG, retail).
• A genuine industry insider — deep passion for and network within a specific consumer vertical.
• Full-cycle commercial instincts: pipeline generation, multi-threaded relationship building, and closing enterprise deals.
• Comfortable being the public face of a category — content, speaking, thought leadership.
• Excited to build a vertical from scratch at an early-stage, high-growth company.

What's on offer

• On-site in New York, NY (5 days a week, SoHo).
• Please note: not open to visa sponsorship for this role (US citizens / Green Card holders).
