Sales Lead

Company Description: Venture-backed gaming AI startup

Job Description:
As the first dedicated sales hire, you will spearhead go-to-market efforts for a platform revolutionizing international game distribution. You will transition the company from zero-to-one by defining the sales strategy, building a high-velocity pipeline, and closing deals with both indie studios and major publishers to remove global language barriers.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

  • Founding-level impact as the first business hire, directly influencing the product roadmap and engineering priorities based on market feedback.

  • Backed by top-tier VCs and led by an experienced executive team from industry-leading gaming platforms.

  • Unique opportunity to solve a fundamental fragmentation problem in the multibillion-dollar gaming industry using cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

What you will do:

  • Execute the full sales cycle from initial cold outreach and prospecting to negotiating and closing enterprise-level contracts.

  • Identify and refine the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) while constructing the foundational sales playbook for future team expansion.

  • Act as a strategic bridge between customers and the technical team to ensure the product solves real-world localization challenges.

The ideal candidate:

  • Proven track record in B2B SaaS or gaming industry sales, ideally within a high-growth or early-stage startup environment.

  • Exceptional "builder" mindset with the ability to thrive in ambiguous conditions and create processes where none exist.

  • Strong networking and communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders ranging from indie developers to executive leadership.
