You'll present results to technical teams and C-suite executives, guide customers on implementation best practices, and build compelling demos of the technology. Key responsibilities include identifying relevant use cases through deep customer engagement, collaborating with ElevenLabs' Research and Product teams to incorporate field insights, scoping applications across new industries, and taking full ownership of major projects for strategic partners. You'll work hands-on with customers' engineering and executive teams to ensure optimal implementation. Required qualifications: proven experience engaging and influencing C-suite and VP-level stakeholders; demonstrated ability to hire, develop, and manage high-performing technical teams; basic Python proficiency and understanding of API integration; excellent communication and problem-solving skills; technical aptitude to quickly understand voice and audio AI models; strategic and commercial awareness aligned with business objectives and deal structures. Nice-to-have: partner ecosystem development and experience building relationships with system integrators and resellers. ElevenLabs operates with high velocity, minimal bureaucracy, and an AI-first approach. The company has raised $781M, is valued at $11B, and serves millions of users and thousands of businesses including Deutsche Telekom and Meta. You'll join a global team of researchers, engineers, and operators with access to professional development stipends, annual company offsites, and co-working support.
