Strategic Account Executive

We’re hiring a Strategic Account Executive to own a small number of our most important customers and start relationships with a few new prospective customers.

This is a high-leverage, high-context role closing company-defining deals, not a volume sales position. You’ll partner with companies who are building real products on top of the company and doing amazing things with Vision AI. You’ll understand their technical and business goals, help shape their Vision AI strategy, and drive meaningful expansion across teams, use cases, and production environments.

You are not just closing deals, you are helping customers accelerate Vision AI into production at scale.

WHO WE ARE

Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too.

We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. The company simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use the company’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells [link for members] to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety [link for members] digitizing floor plans [link for members] preserving coral reef populations [link for members] guiding drone flight [link for members] and much more [link for members]

The company is supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Y Combinator, Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.

• Comfortable engaging with both engineers and executives

• Strong ability to navigate ambiguity and build adaptive strategy

• Demonstrated success in multi-threaded account management

• High ownership mindset - you don’t wait for direction, you create it

• Clear, concise communicator who can translate technical concepts into business value plainly

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Your accounts expand across multiple teams and use cases

• Customers move from experimentation → production → global scale

• You are viewed as a trusted advisor by both engineering leaders and executives

• You consistently drive large, high-quality expansions aligned with customer’s business goals
