Invisible Technologies is seeking a Head of Frontier AI to lead commercial growth from model builders across foundation labs, large tech companies, and enterprises. This is a VP-level commercial leadership role with a product mandate, reporting to senior leadership. You will own end-to-end revenue growth and client relationships across three customer segments: foundation and frontier AI labs (training frontier models), large tech companies (building genAI products and in-house models), and enterprises (moving from buying AI to building or fine-tuning models for agentic workflows). Your mandate spans three core areas: 1. **Grow existing clients** by expanding scope, deepening multi-threaded relationships, and moving accounts from one-off projects to recurring programs. 2. **Win new clients** across foundation labs, emerging frontier labs, large tech companies building genAI products, and enterprises training or fine-tuning models for agentic solutions. 3. **Build new revenue lines** by bringing newer offerings (staff augmentation, data brokerage, agentic trajectories) to market alongside core RLHF and SFT work. You will sell a portfolio spanning established services and newer, productized lines: RL environments and long-horizon agentic trajectories (growth line), RLHF/SFT (core revenue), staff augmentation (new business unit), and data brokerage (new revenue line). **Key Responsibilities:** - Own model-builder revenue targets across bookings, net revenue retention, and new-logo acquisition - Build and run account plans for each key account, including whitespace mapping across all four offerings - Source, scope, price, and close new programs; lead negotiations on MSAs, SOWs, and commercial terms - Forecast accurately and run a disciplined pipeline - Be the senior relationship owner with research leads, post-training teams, data leads, and procurement at each account - Multi-thread every account to reduce single-champion dependency - Run executive business reviews and turn delivery results into expansion - Escalate and resolve delivery issues before they impact renewals - Bring structured customer insight to Product and Engineering on what each segment is training on, data bottlenecks, and willingness to pay - Co-define packaging and pricing for productized offerings, moving revenue from bespoke services toward repeatable, higher-margin products - Pilot new revenue lines with early-adopter clients and turn pilots into standard offerings - Partner with Delivery and Operations to ensure sold offerings can be delivered at quality and margin - Build and lead a team of account executives and engagement leads as the business scales - Represent Invisible in the frontier AI community through conferences, research relationships, and thought leadership - Track competitors and market pricing, feeding insights into positioning and strategy **First 90 Days Success Metrics:** - Meet senior stakeholders at every active key account with written account plans for each - Own model-builder pipeline and forecast across all three segments with clear expansion and new-logo targets - Close or advance at least one deal in a new revenue line - Agree with Product and Engineering on top customer-driven priorities for next two quarters **First Year Success Metrics:** - Hit model-builder revenue target with growth from both existing and new accounts - Measurably shift revenue mix toward productized, recurring offerings - Land new logos in each segment, including first enterprise model-building programs, and multi-thread every top account - Have a hired, ramped team running a repeatable sales motion **Requirements:** *Required:* - 10+ years in enterprise sales, business development, or account leadership, including 3+ years leading a team or a major book of business - Existing, senior relationships at one or more foundation or frontier AI labs, plus credibility with AI leaders at large tech companies or enterprises - Track record of closing and expanding multi-million-dollar, multi-year deals with technical buyers - Working fluency in how frontier models are built: pretraining, SFT, RLHF, RL environments, evals, and agentic systems - Experience selling a portfolio that blends services and technology, with strong commercial instincts on pricing, packaging, and margin - Proven ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Delivery to shape what gets built *Preferred:* - Prior leadership at an AI data, training, or evaluation company, or on the data side of a frontier lab - Experience taking a services business toward productized or platform revenue - Exposure to staffing, talent marketplaces, or data licensing models - Experience selling AI/ML platforms or services into enterprises adopting agentic AI - Technical background (CS, ML, or a quantitative field) *Who You Are:* - Credible with researchers and enterprise buyers alike; can hold credible conversations about reward models, eval design, and agent trajectories, not just commercial terms - A builder, not just a closer; you see recurring customer needs and push to turn them into products - Comfortable with ambiguity; new offerings will be half-formed when you start selling them; you help shape them - Operationally rigorous with clean pipeline, honest forecasts, and clear account plans - Low ego, high ownership; you lead from the front on deals and give credit to teams who deliver
