Alex Ford - Chief of Growth

 

What we are looking for:

We’re seeking an entrepreneurial, driven sales leader with a proven track record of closing complex enterprise deals, ideally in the Media & Entertainment sector. You’re both a strategist and a player-coach: equally comfortable engaging senior executives at the C-suite and mentoring a growing team of sales reps. The ideal candidate combines industry credibility, B2B SaaS expertise, and startup grit to build a high-performing sales organization from the ground up.

 

In this role, you will be the architect and owner of the entire sales function, responsible for developing Flawless AI’s go-to-market strategy and executing on ambitious revenue targets.

As our first senior Sales leader, you will act as a “player-coach” – closing enterprise deals with major studios and content creators yourself while recruiting, mentoring, and managing a team of junior sales reps (BDRs/SDRs and AEs) to scale our reach.

This is a high-impact leadership role that requires deep familiarity with B2B enterprise sales in a SaaS/tech startup environment and offers a unique chance to own the sales function from the ground up at a company that is redefining how movies and content are produced worldwide.

 

 

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute a comprehensive sales strategy to drive revenue growth in the Media & Entertainment vertical

 

  • Define target market segments, refine our value proposition, and establish scalable sales processes and KPIs

 

  • Build and lead a results-driven, accountable, high-performance sales culture

 

  • Prospect and engage major film studios, streamers, and production companies

 

  • Lead enterprise sales cycles end-to-end, from prospecting and demos to negotiation and close

 

  • Foster strong C-level relationships and act as the trusted advisor to strategic accounts

 

  • Hire, mentor, and manage a team of BDRs and AEs to scale go-to-market efforts

 

  • Establish pipeline management and forecasting discipline with CRM tools and analytics

 

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, product, and engineering to represent the customer’s voice and shape market fit

 

Qualifications:

Must haves

  • Strong sales track record of consistently exceeding quotas and delivering against ambitious revenue targets
     
  • 5+ years of successful B2B enterprise sales experience in SaaS/enterprise software
     
  • Proven track record of closing large, complex deals (6–7 figure contracts) with major enterprise clients
     
  • Strong understanding of Media & Entertainment workflows and post-production processes
     
  • Demonstrated experience building and managing sales teams (hiring, coaching, performance management)
     
  • Deep knowledge of enterprise sales methodologies (e.g. MEDDIC, Challenger Sale, SPIN) and structured sales processes
     
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills with ability to engage both creatives and executives
     
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment

Bonus

  • Existing network and relationships within Hollywood studios, OTT platforms, or production companies
     
  • Experience in AI, video technology, or content localization
