Would you like to play a meaningful role in the business evolution of an Artificial Intelligence venture backed start-up? This highly visible position is focused on getting the power of ML to as many customers as possible either directly or with partners. You’ll see the big picture but also be able to master the details of our AutoML solution and the associated nuances of engaging with buyers across the lifecycle. If this sounds interesting to you then you might be the person we’re looking for.

More about you:

You are a highly motivated, technical and analytically driven business development person who views themselves as the CEO of their own business segment. You understand the complexities of the market and specifically the importance of partners in this ecosystem. You focus on driving specific enterprise direct initiatives for ‘farm’ and indirect initiatives with partners for ‘hunt’ but also keep a close eye on the business as a whole ensuring that decisions are made with long-term growth in mind. You’ve worked for a leading Enterprise vendor or one of their strategic partners and understand their culture and business needs. Although you’ve had this experience you believe the traditional go-to-market approaches need to be rewritten to address how contemporary business at speed is done.

In this role you’ll get to:

• Build your own pipeline of leads through market research, mapping stakeholders and identifying decision makers.
• Engage with clients, opening conversations, understanding challenges, presenting product demos.
• Manage end to end sales processes, negotiating terms and closing deals.
• Be the primary account manager for partners and end-customers, managing internal and external resources to move customer engagements forward.
