Job description

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You’ll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.

The role:

You’ve spent years competing, taking feedback, and working toward something that wasn’t guaranteed. Now you’re looking for where to put that drive next.

Coram AI is hiring Sales Athletes to join our early-career sales program. Our accelerated Sales Athlete program combines the best parts of a Sales Development Representative (SDR), Business Development Representative (BDR), and Account Executive (AE) role. You'll work directly with experienced Account Executives on live deals, build and own pipeline through outbound prospecting, develop your sales skills, and work toward promotion into a full-cycle Account Executive role within 6 months, compared with the traditional 1–2 year SDR-to-AE path. You'll learn how to prospect, qualify opportunities, run sales conversations, build pipeline, and sell Coram AI's physical security platform to businesses globally.

We’re especially interested in current and former collegiate and professional athletes ready to build a career in technology sales. No previous sales experience is required. We’re looking for people who are curious, coachable, and willing to put in the work.

Our first Winter 2027 Cohort will start in February.

Responsibilities:

• Build and qualify pipeline through targeted, strategic prospecting

• Partner with senior AEs on live deals, from discovery to close

• Participate in and help deliver product demos to prospects and partners

• Master Coram’s platform and learn how to sell value

• Consistently outperform assigned goals and earn your promotion to a full-cycle Account Executive title

• Ability to understand complex business environments and uncover customer issues, process problems, and translate need into business opportunities.

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation package which includes base salary + bonus

• Clear promotion path from Associate Account Executive to full-cycle Account Executive within 6 months

• Opportunity to relocate into any of our US offices (SLC, AZ, NYC, or ATL) upon promotion

• Flexible paid time off and 10 paid holidays

• Daily team breakfast and dinner for early birds and night owls, plus regular team off-sites (Giants suite, Sharks games, team happy hours, etc.)

• The latest Apple products and unlimited tech stack (Claude, Nooks, Clay, Instantly, etc.)
