Speechify is a text-to-speech platform used by over 50 million people globally to convert PDFs, books, Google Docs, news articles, and websites into audio. The company was recently named Chrome Extension of the Year by Google and won Apple's 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity. With ~200 employees in a fully distributed setting, Speechify is expanding its SIMBA Voice Agents product—a platform enabling 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 dealmaker and technical builder. You will own the complete sales cycle for new mid-market and enterprise customers, from initial prospecting through contract close. The role requires hands-on involvement in technical evaluations, custom demo development, and early deployment phases. Key responsibilities include: owning the full sales cycle for mid-market and enterprise accounts; conducting technically deep discovery calls to understand customer use cases, tech stacks, and integration requirements; building and demoing custom voice agent prototypes during sales to accelerate buyer confidence; partnering with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure smooth handoffs from sales to onboarding; developing GTM playbooks and outbound strategies to break into new verticals; representing customer needs internally to influence product roadmap and packaging; and maintaining accurate pipeline forecasting in CRM. Ideal candidates have 3–8 years of sales, account executive, or GTM experience at technical B2B companies, with a track record of closing deals with both technical buyers (CTOs, engineers) and business stakeholders. You should be comfortable getting hands-on with APIs and no-code/low-code tools to build compelling demos, have a strong understanding of the AI/ML or voice technology landscape, and be an exceptional communicator who can simplify complex technical concepts. Self-direction, pipeline discipline, and a bias toward action are essential. 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 forward deployment or solutions engineering; 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 individual wins have outsized impact.
