WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN OUR TEAM

You’ll win and grow Smartcat’s largest enterprise relationships, owning a small set of named strategic accounts and new enterprise prospects and running the full sales cycle. Our largest customers often start with Smartcat in a single team, and the opportunity is to change how the whole organization creates and adapts content across marketing, product, and other functions, replacing work it pays agencies, language service providers, and internal teams to do today. You’ll lead a cross-functional account team that includes AI Strategists, who run consulting-style assessments of a customer’s current and future state and develop the recommendations and business case you’ll use to win. As our offering grows, you’ll help shape how Smartcat sells to the enterprise.

MISSION

Win and grow Smartcat’s largest enterprise relationships by turning an initial foothold into a funded, multi-year content transformation across a customer’s functions, business units, and markets, building executive sponsorship from the project team to the C-suite.

OUTCOMES

• Win new business and expand strategic accounts by running the full sales cycle, from outbound prospecting and discovery through negotiation, signature, and expansion
• Turn an initial foothold into a broader content transformation across functions, business units, and markets, opening new buying centers before an active project exists
• Build relationships from project teams to the C-suite, developing several champions and reaching the executive who owns the business outcome and the budget
• Lead the value conversation yourself, building a quantified business case covering cost, speed, capacity, and quality, and partner with AI Strategists to deepen it through current- and future-state assessments
• Negotiate customized multi-year agreements through procurement, legal, security, and AI governance reviews, protecting value rather than discounting
• Lead the account team around one account strategy, including AI Strategists, Solutions Engineers, Technical Account Managers, Forward Deployed Engineers, Product, and executives, with delivery scope agreed before close
• Forecast accurately, call risk early, and bring customer insight back to Product to shape our enterprise offering and sales playbook
