About ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.

We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $22B - multiples of 11, always.

We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:

• ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.
• ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
• ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.

Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.

How we work

• High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
• Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.
• AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.
• Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.
• Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.

What we offer

• Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
• Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
• Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
• Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
• Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy.
• Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.

About The Role

ElevenLabs is looking for our first Sports Specialist to lead the commercial adoption of our AI audio products across the sports industry. This highly strategic, customer-facing role sits at the intersection of product, sales, and sports.

We’re looking for someone who combines deep expertise in the sports ecosystem with a strong enterprise sales background. You will become the go-to expert for sports use cases, partnering closely with Account Executives to help customers understand how AI can transform content creation, localization, fan engagement, accessibility, and live and on-demand experiences.

This is not a quota-carrying role. Instead, your success will be measured by driving product adoption, enabling the sales organization, influencing product direction through customer feedback, and helping close strategic opportunities where sports expertise is essential.

In This Role You Will

• Serve as the subject matter expert for ElevenLabs’ sports use cases, supporting enterprise sales opportunities from discovery through deployment.
• Partner closely with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle, providing product expertise, customer education, and strategic guidance.
• Drive adoption across professional sports leagues, teams, federations, broadcasters, streaming platforms, rights holders, agencies, sports technology companies, and other organizations across the sports ecosystem.
• Help customers apply AI audio to use cases such as multilingual content, commentary, fan engagement, content production, personalization, and accessibility.
• Build relationships with key stakeholders across sports, including commercial, media, digital, content, innovation, and technology leaders.
• Deliver compelling product demonstrations and workshops that showcase the capabilities and business value of ElevenLabs’ products.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Growth, Legal to bring customer insights into product development and go-to-market strategy.
• Develop scalable enablement materials, best practices, and sales playbooks to help the broader commercial organization successfully position ElevenLabs within sports.
• Stay ahead of emerging trends in AI, sports technology, media, broadcasting, and fan engagement to help shape ElevenLabs’ long‑term strategy.

Requirements

• 7+ years of enterprise technology sales experience.
• Proven experience selling into or working with sports leagues, teams, broadcasters, streaming platforms, rights holders, agencies, or sports technology companies.
• Deep understanding of the sports ecosystem, including content and production workflows, media rights, fan engagement, partnerships, and digital distribution.
• Ability to translate complex technical capabilities into compelling customer value propositions.
• Strong executive communication skills, with experience presenting to both business and technical stakeholders.
• A track record of navigating complex organizations and building alignment across multiple decision makers.
• Highly collaborative, with a passion for partnering across Sales, Engineering, Growth, and Legal.
• Comfortable operating in a fast paced startup environment where you will help define the role as the business grows.
