- Partner closely with Forward Deployed Engineers to solution high-impact use cases, manage successful Proof of Value, and guide customers through reviews.
- Partner closely with Legal teams to drive strategic, fast-moving negotiations.
- Serve as a trusted advisor on generative AI and voice, sharing field insights to sharpen financial services positioning, messaging, and references.
Requirements

- Experience selling to both technical buyers and business buyers, as well as to risk and compliance gatekeepers.
- Adept at deeply understanding a customer’s business and translating ElevenLabs’ capabilities into solutions.
- Proficient in enterprise procurement, security review, and legal processes, including regulated-industry vendor risk and data protection reviews.
