About CoLab

At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.

We build AI for engineers designing cars, medical devices, and jet engines. Products this complex aren't sketched and sent to production. Teams spend months on iterations, reviews, and tests, predicting how every part performs before anything is built. CoLab is where those reviews happen, and we capture the rationale behind every change. Other tools show what changed between versions. Only CoLab knows why. That's how our AI helps manufacturers like Bobcat, Triumph Motorcycles, and GE Appliances make better decisions, eliminate rework cycles, and get to market faster.

Proudly based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, CoLab started with one customer in 2018. Since then we’ve raised a $72M Series C, been named the 57th fastest growing company in North America by Deloitte (Fast 500), signed multi-year AI partnerships with companies like Bombardier, and grown to a team of 250+.

About the role

As a Key Account Executive (Enterprise Sales), you’ll focus on CoLab’s largest accounts in Europe, engaging with senior engineering leaders in large enterprises. Your primary responsibility will be to drive revenue growth by closing deals in the $200K to $2M+ range, while also identifying expansion opportunities within these enterprise clients. You will work closely with marketing, sales development, and customer success teams to strategize on enterprise deals, ensuring we maintain strong relationships with our top accounts.

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact by driving CoLab’s growth at the enterprise level, working with some of the world’s most respected companies.
