About the Role
As an Account Executive / Go-to-Market, you're equal parts dealmaker and builder. You'll own the full sales cycle for new customers — from first call to close — while also getting hands-on during technical evaluations, demos, and early deployment. You understand that selling voice AI isn't just about pitching features; it's about showing prospects exactly how SIMBA fits into their world and making that first integration feel effortless.
This is a rare role for someone who can command a boardroom and open a terminal.

- Run technically deep discovery calls to understand customer use cases, tech stack, and integration requirements
- Build and demo custom voice agent prototypes during the sales process to accelerate buy-in
- Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure a seamless handoff from sale to onboarding
- Develop GTM playbooks, messaging, and outbound strategies to help SIMBA break into new verticals
- Represent customer needs internally, influencing product roadmap and packaging decisions
- Maintain a clean pipeline in CRM and accurately forecast revenue
- 3–6 years of experience in a sales, account executive, or GTM role at a technical B2B company
- Track record of closing deals with both technical buyers (CTOs, engineers) and business stakeholders
- Comfortable getting hands-on with APIs and no-code/low-code tools to build compelling demos
- Strong understanding of the AI/ML or voice technology landscape — you follow this space closely
- Exceptional communicator who can simplify complex technical concepts without losing their depth
- Highly self-directed with strong pipeline discipline and a bias toward action
- Experience selling AI, voice, or conversational technology
- Familiarity with telephony infrastructure, contact centers, or customer experience platforms
- Prior experience in a forward deployment or solutions engineering capacity
- Multilingual or experience selling into international markets
- Sell a product that genuinely impresses prospects — sub-second latency and 71+ languages speaks for itself
- High ownership role with direct input on GTM strategy and positioning
- Work alongside a team that stays embedded with customers, so you're never selling something that doesn't deliver
- Competitive base + commission, equity, and benefits
- Fast-moving startup environment where your wins have outsized impact

What We Do
Speechify is a text-to-speech app that makes it easy for the world to access information. 10+ million people now use the Google Chrome extension and iOS and Android mobile apps. Our amazing users are students, professionals, and productivity lovers. Many of them have learning differences like dyslexia and ADHD, while many just want to read faster and listen on the go. With Speechify you can turn any book, document, or website into audio, and listen while you’re in the car, doing laundry, walking your dog, making dinner, working out, skydiving—whatever your daily routine is! Speechify also powers Medium, the Star Tribune, The Direct, and more. Easily add text-to-speech to your website. Cliff Weitzman, our fearless CEO, founded Speechify in 2017 in a dorm room at Brown University so he could share with others the incredible text-to-speech software he’d been working on. Cliff has dyslexia and he was frustrated with how much time and energy it took for him to read. Advanced TTS technology was a total gamechanger, it allowed him to finish his readings 3x faster than a normal reader and to better comprehend and retain information. At Speechify our goal is for reading to never be a barrier to learning for anyone. Nothing should hold you back from learning information quickly and effectively. Speechify has grown to employ over 100 team members spread out across the globe in just a few short years. We're proud of the incredible team with members who were previously leaders and senior engineers at companies like Snapchat, Apple, Spotify, Amazon & Uber. We all love and prioritise ownership, delivering value with speed, learning as much as we can and making our users feel empowered.
