Speechify is a 200-person distributed company that has built a market-leading text-to-speech platform used by 50+ million people globally. The company recently launched SIMBA Voice Agents, a product that enables enterprises to deploy natural, human-sounding AI voice agents in 71+ languages with sub-second latency. Each customer receives a dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer who builds their agents and iterates with them weekly. In this Account Executive / Go-to-Market role, you will own the full sales cycle for mid-market and enterprise customers—from prospecting through close. This is a hybrid technical and commercial role: you'll run discovery calls with technical buyers (CTOs, engineers) and business stakeholders, build and demo custom voice agent prototypes during sales to accelerate buy-in, and partner with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure smooth handoffs from sale to onboarding. Key responsibilities include developing GTM playbooks and outbound strategies to help SIMBA break into new verticals, representing customer needs internally to influence product roadmap and packaging, and maintaining a clean pipeline with accurate revenue forecasting. You'll be expected to get hands-on with APIs and no-code/low-code tools to build compelling demos, and to simplify complex technical concepts for diverse audiences. The ideal candidate has 3–8 years of experience in sales, account executive, or GTM roles at technical B2B companies, with a proven track record of closing deals with both technical and business buyers. You should have a strong understanding of the AI/ML or voice technology landscape, exceptional communication skills, and high self-direction with strong pipeline discipline. Nice-to-have qualifications include prior experience selling AI, voice, or conversational technology; familiarity with telephony infrastructure or contact centers; prior solutions engineering or forward deployment experience; and multilingual capabilities or international sales experience. Speechify offers a competitive base salary plus commission, equity, and benefits in a fast-moving startup environment where your wins have outsized impact.
