What You’ll Do

• Develop pipeline using demand generation, prospecting tools, professional networking, and enterprise selling methodology
• Build account plans and manage a territory of target enterprises training and deploying frontier AI models

• Experience and relationships selling to executives and teams training frontier AI models at organizations such as Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Apple, Meta, etc.
• Previous experience selling into AI/ML, data labeling, data annotation, RLHF, or related human-data services required
• Comfort selling complex, high-touch services deals where pricing, scope, and delivery model are negotiated and customized per account, rather than a standard licensing motion
• High business acumen and ability to sell technology and business value to all levels of an organization including individual contributors, mid-level management, and C-level executives
• Experience with MEDDICC and enterprise selling methodologies such as Command of the Message
• Consistent track record of exceeding quota
• Strong ability to succeed in multi-channel pipeline generation including inbound discovery calls, outbound prospecting, working with SDRs and working with partners
• Comfortable with ambiguity, creative, and incredibly resourceful
• Self‑starter and independent worker, ambitious and takes initiative
• An attentive listener, quick study, and skilled influencer
• Strong customer presence, with polish and dedication to customer outcomes
• Ability to travel occasionally to meet customers and attend industry events

What We Offer

• Attractive base salary with significant stock options offering an ownership stake in the company's success
