Inworld has also been recognized by CB Insights as one of the 100 most promising AI companies globally and named one of LinkedIn’s Top 10 Startups in the USA.
We’re looking for a Technical Account Manager to help grow and strengthen our relationships with existing customers as we scale. You’ll own a book of accounts, get to know how each customer uses us technically and commercially, and make sure they renew, expand and get real value from our products. You’ll be one of the first members of the team to help shape how we manage accounts as they grow.
Candidates are ideally based in the SF Bay Area or willing to relocate (you will be working on-site at our Mountain View office a few days a week), but remote candidates will also be considered.
Responsibilities
Renewals: Own renewals across your book of accounts. Start conversations early, understand what each customer needs to say yes, and close renewals on time.
Expansion: Find and pursue growth within existing customers, whether that’s new teams, new use cases or larger commitments. Build expansion plans with your customers and work with Sales to close bigger opportunities.
Technical Account Management: Learn our products in depth and understand how each customer has deployed them. Act as a trusted technical point of contact, help troubleshoot issues, and bring in Solutions or Engineering when needed.
Customer Relationships: Build relationships with multiple people at each account, from hands-on technical users to the decision-makers who sign contracts.
Account Health: Track usage, engagement and other signals to spot risk early. Act quickly when an account shows signs of trouble.
Customer Reviews: Run regular check-ins and business reviews that show customers the value they’re getting and set goals for what’s next.
AI & Tooling: Use AI tools for account research, meeting prep and follow-up, so more of your time goes to working directly with customers. Keep the CRM accurate and up to date.
Voice of the Customer: Share customer feedback, feature requests and recurring blockers with Product and Engineering, and follow up with customers on what changes.

What We Do
Inworld AI is a realtime voice AI research lab and platform. It builds the voice layer for consumer AI, the speech that powers companions, tutors, coaches, customer-service agents, and creative and content applications. Inworld's flagship product is text-to-speech, top-ranked on the independent Artificial Analysis Speech Arena, and around it the company offers a full realtime voice stack. That stack includes text-to-speech (Realtime TTS-2, with over 100 languages and natural-language voice steering), speech-to-text, and an LLM router that reaches 200+ models from every major provider with no markup. Developers can call any product on its own, for example Realtime TTS through a single API call, or combine speech-to-text, an LLM, and text-to-speech into one live conversation through the Realtime API. Dedicated GPUs are available for the largest workloads. Inworld serves developers and founders building consumer AI products. As voice quality becomes commoditized, the company's focus is realtime conversation at scale: voice agents that respond in roughly 200 milliseconds for thousands of simultaneous users, at a cost that stays efficient as usage grows. Inworld is a product-oriented research lab. Its founding team pioneered conversational AI and generative models at API.AI (acquired by Google and renamed Dialogflow), Google, and DeepMind, with expertise spanning language models, speech synthesis, multimodal interaction, and design. Inworld has raised more than $125M from investors including Lightspeed, Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, CRV, Intel Capital, BITKRAFT Ventures, Section 32, Meta, Microsoft's M12, and LG Technology Ventures. The company was one of six selected for the 2022 Disney Accelerator.
