ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.
We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $22B - multiples of 11, always.
We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:
- ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.
- ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
- ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.

We're looking for an experienced partnerships leader to build and scale ElevenLabs' Public Sector Partner Programme in North America — bringing together resellers, VARs, and systems integrators who help deploy our technology across federal agencies, state and local governments, and education institutions.
You'll own the public sector partner strategy end-to-end — from building relationships with leading SIs and VARs with established public sector practices, to onboarding, enabling, and activating them to sell and deliver ElevenLabs products into government and education accounts.
This is a 0→1 build: you'll design partner incentive and enablement models tailored to the procurement and compliance realities of the public sector, generate qualified pipeline through partner-led opportunities, and scale the programme against North America growth targets — while owning day-to-day execution and partner performance.
