Enterprise/Sr. Enterprise Account Executive

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.

We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.

World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.

Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

Open to hiring remote across North America - NYC, San Francisco, or Denver preferred.

You will carry a book of 10-30 accounts - $1B to $5B+ revenue companies. You work in a pod with a dedicated Enterprise Engagement Manager on a shared book: one account plan, shared customer outcomes, and comp designed to maximize earnings and customer value.

This is a role that requires a depth of expertise selling to Fortune 500 companies, knowing how to architect multi-disciplinary commercial deals, comfort regularly selling to C-Suite executives, and strategic GTM deal architecture.

What you'll do

• Run 10-30 concurrent enterprise cycles a year at $100K - $1M+, from first outbound through production deployment
• Build multi-threaded relationships across creative, marketing, technology, and procurement in $5B+ organizations
• Win new logos in whitespace and source expansion in existing accounts
• Work your pod plan with your Engagement Manager so consumption milestones land quickly
• Forecast with the discipline of someone the CRO plans around: staged exits, named next steps, no happy ears

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• 5+ years of enterprise software sales with consistent six and seven-figure deals
• A quota history above 100% you can walk through year by year, President's Club achievement, etc.
• Demonstrated account development: you have grown named accounts 2-3x, and renewals were the floor of that growth
• Command of MEDDPICC or equivalent, with the CRM hygiene to prove your pipeline is real
• Working AI fluency - you use generative tools yourself and can demo credibly to a skeptical enterprise buyer

STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO HAVE

• Sold creative or content technology
• Sold consumption or usage-based contracts
• Sourced the majority of your own pipeline

Compensation

OTE $275K - $340K (50/50 base to variable). Offers equity.
