  • Collaborate with the sales leadership to analyze data and optimize strategies for better results.

Who you are

We're looking for exceptional individuals who combine technical excellence with ethical awareness, who are excited by hard problems and motivated by human impact. You’ll strive with us if you: 

  • Are passionate about audio AI driven by a desire to make content universally accessible and breaking the frontiers of new tech.

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

  • More than 2-3 years outbound B2B sales experience with a track record of securing new business meetings.

  • Demonstrated ability to build Opportunity sized lead lists in new markets and categories

  • Experience with full suite of prospecting tools

  • Demonstrated ability to build, scale process

  • Demonstrated ability to nurture a team

  • Curiosity - asking insightful questions and developing solutions from a foundation of knowledge and insight.

  • Self-motivated, thriving as part of a team while possessing the ability to stay driven and proactive independently.

  • Effective time management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and manage a high volume of leads.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in Japanese and English
