We work with creative agencies, brands, production companies and creative teams adopting AI into their content workflows.

We are now looking for a strong Founding Account Executive to help build our B2B revenue engine.

What Matters Most

1. What opportunities did you personally source?

2. Who was the buyer?

3. What problem were they trying to solve?

4. What was the commercial value of the deal?

5. How did you move the customer from first conversation to signature?

6. Why did you win?

7. Why did you lose the deals you didn't close?

What We're Not Looking For

This is not primarily an Account Management or Customer Success role.

Candidates whose experience is primarily focused on:

- Renewals Farming existing accounts Pure inbound sales Lead qualification SDR / BDR activity without closing ownership

may not be the right fit.

What You'll Get

- Direct access to the founders High ownership of revenue Influence over ICP, pricing, positioning and GTM Opportunity to build the sales process from the ground up Exposure to one of the fastest-evolving categories in media & entertainment AI Opportunity to grow into sales leadership as the organization scales
