Job Description

Join AssemblyAI as the Head of Sales for the Digital Native segment. In this role, you will build and lead a high-performing sales organization focused on digital native and AI-native companies. You will be responsible for scaling the team, driving revenue growth, and establishing the operating system for the segment. This is a builder's role, requiring a strong track record in technical sales and experience in scaling sales organizations.

  • Construire et diriger l'organisation de vente pour les entreprises numériques et natives de l'IA, en passant d'une petite équipe à une organisation de vente multi-niveaux.
  • Posséder le chiffre d'affaires pour le segment, en se concentrant sur l'acquisition de nouveaux clients et l'augmentation de leur utilisation en production.
  • Recruter et développer la première vague de managers de première ligne, établir les normes, le processus d'entretien et le plan de montée en compétence.
  • A recruiting instinct - you carry your own network, you close candidates, and you hold a high bar under pressure to fill seats
  • A track record of scaling a sales org through a step change in headcount - you have hired and ramped 10+ reps and built the management layer underneath you, not inherited it
  • Experience selling infrastructure, APIs, or developer platforms to engineering and product buyers; ideally in a usage-based or consumption pricing model
  • Fluency with a product-led, bottoms-up motion that layers a sales team on top of self-serve adoption without breaking what already works
  • A willingness to travel to drive impact - expect to be on the road 50%+ of each month for customer visits, industry events, and team offsites
  • 8+ years in technical sales with 4+ years leading sales teams, including experience managing managers
  • Demonstrated ability to design territories, quotas, and comp plans that drive the right behavior, and to run a forecast leadership can rely on
  • Technical credibility - comfortable discussing API architectures, model accuracy tradeoffs, latency, and deployment options directly with engineers and CTOs
  • High urgency and comfort with ambiguity; this segment and its product lines are changing quickly and the playbook is being written as you scale
