  • Stay fluent in the legal and regulatory landscape, especially in industry verticals (e.g. public sector, financial services, healthcare)
  • Navigate ever-evolving AI terms and conditions — including acceptable use policies, data training restrictions, model output liability, ownership, and AI governance - and AI regulatory developments, from the EU AI Act to emerging U.S. frameworks

  • Ability to thrive under pressure alongside a quota and deadline-driven sales team
  • Bias for action, self-starter, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, combined with a customer-first mindset and solid legal and business judgment
