About Gladia

Gladia builds the audio AI infrastructure behind the new generation of voice products. Our mission is to give every voice platform true conversational intelligence — the audio infrastructure that understands every conversation, turning voice into the world's most valuable data layer.

Our API turns real-world conversational audio into accurate, structured, real-time output — powered by our proprietary Solaria ASR, across 100+ languages, with industry-leading latency.

Hundreds of companies build their voice products on Gladia — from meeting assistants and voice agents to sales-enablement and contact-center platforms. We started in Paris, our growth is developer-led and heavily US-driven (and we're going after the US market hard).

Headquartered in vibrant tech hubs like Paris and New York City, Gladia has entered exclusive negotiations to be acquired by OVH Groupe — Europe's leading cloud provider — with the plan for Gladia to operate as a fully autonomous brand and company.

We're guided by four values:

• Honest — Say the real thing, kindly.

• Smart — Work smart, ship fast.

• Builders — Own your scope, build to last.

• Caring — Support people, take pride in the craft.

Our Sales team targets and closes new business with Gladia's most strategic customers and prospects. As an AE, you'll uncover the challenges organisations ( voice agents, meeting assistants, contact-center platforms) face when they build and run Speech AI at scale and land the right Gladia solution for them. You'll sell a technical, usage or contract based API product to engineering and business stakeholders. Based in Paris. Reporting to Head of Sales.

The role

• Negotiate pricing and terms by selling value and ROI, not discounts.

• Work alongside Forward Deployed Engineers in complex Sales cycles and Gladia evaluations

• Identify the real business drivers behind every opportunity, and qualify hard.

Who you are

• Consistent track record of meeting or beating direct sales targets.

• You build your own pipeline — you can show the method, not just the results.

• Experience selling to engineers and IT decision-makers.

• Strong knowledge of sales methodologies (MEDDICC, BANT, or similar).

• Experience winning new logos in an innovative tech environment (SaaS, API, dev tools, IT infrastructure or similar).

• Collaborative problem-solver, with high standards, proactivity and genuine curiosity.
