Speechify is a 200-person, fully distributed company that has built a market-leading text-to-speech platform used by over 50 million people globally. The company was recently named Chrome Extension of the Year by Google and won Apple's 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity. SIMBA Voice Agents, Speechify's newest product, enables companies to deploy natural, human-sounding AI voice agents in 71+ languages with sub-second latency. This Account Executive / Go-to-Market role is for someone who can operate as both a dealmaker and technical builder. You will own the complete sales cycle for mid-market and enterprise customers—from prospecting and discovery through close and handoff to the Forward Deployed Engineer team. Unlike traditional sales roles, you'll get hands-on during technical evaluations, building custom voice agent prototypes to accelerate customer buy-in and demonstrating how SIMBA integrates into their specific use cases. Key responsibilities include running technically deep discovery calls to understand customer tech stacks and integration requirements; building and demoing custom prototypes during sales; partnering with Forward Deployed Engineers on seamless handoffs; developing GTM playbooks and outbound strategies to break into new verticals; representing customer needs to influence product roadmap decisions; and maintaining pipeline discipline in CRM with accurate forecasting. You should have 3–8 years of sales, account executive, or GTM experience at a technical B2B company, with a proven track record closing deals with both technical buyers (CTOs, engineers) and business stakeholders. You're comfortable getting hands-on with APIs and no-code/low-code tools to build compelling demos. A strong understanding of the AI/ML or voice technology landscape is essential—you follow this space closely and can simplify complex technical concepts without losing depth. You're highly self-directed with strong pipeline discipline and a bias toward action. Nice-to-have qualifications include prior experience selling AI, voice, or conversational technology; familiarity with telephony infrastructure, contact centers, or customer experience platforms; prior experience in a forward deployment or solutions engineering capacity; and multilingual capabilities or experience selling into international markets. This is a high-ownership role with direct input on GTM strategy and positioning. You'll sell a product that genuinely impresses prospects and work alongside a team embedded with customers, ensuring you're never selling something that doesn't deliver.
