  • Take initiative and work autonomously from day one, prioritizing learning and contribution while leaving ego aside.

  • Proven track record of meeting & exceeding sales targets in a fast-paced environment.

  • 5-7 years of previous experience in sales in a SaaS organisation.

  • Expertise or willingness to learn everything about media/publishing or gaming industry and how ElevenLabs’ solution can help.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships with stakeholders at all levels of an organization.

  • A hybrid of customer & product-driven mentality that prioritises client satisfaction & scale.

  • Plus: Proficiency in French, German, Chinese or Japanese.

What we offer

  • High-velocity innovation: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.

  • A truly global team: Collaboration with teammates across 30+ countries, a global customer footprint and office hubs in New York, London and Warsaw. Annual company offsite for the whole team to get together (the last one in Croatia!) 

  • Remote first: We prioritize your talent, not your location, with structured asynchronous workflows for maximum impact and minimal meetings.

  • Continuous growth: Collaborate with AI leaders, shape your path, and contribute where you excel most.
