About Weaviate

Weaviate is an AI startup with open source and creativity at its core. Our AI-native vector database uses machine learning to create meaningful insights from unstructured data in a completely new way.

About this role

• Full Sales Lifecycle: Manage the end-to-end sales process - from initial outreach and lead qualification to complex contract negotiations and closing.
