The Role
About Us
Iris by Audinate is revolutionizing the way devices, AI, and cloud software interact—enabling a new OS for AV devices. We're starting with cameras and are rolling out our OS into millions of units globally this fall. As we scale, we are looking for a Director of Sales to build and lead a global sales organization from the ground up.
The Role
As the first senior sales leader for our Iris products, you will own the go-to-market strategy, pipeline growth, and revenue execution across enterprise, OEM, and channel sales. You’ll design scalable sales processes, build a world-class team, and secure high-value partnerships—while still rolling up your sleeves to close new deals.
You’ll work closely with marketing and product to align messaging, pricing, and market positioning, and you’ll be responsible for setting the sales playbook that fuels Iris’ growth over the coming years. This is a rare opportunity to build a global sales engine from the ground up in a high-growth, industry-defining company.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, is both strategic and execution-focused, and has deep experience in the video, AI, AV, or Broadcast markets.

- Pricing Strategy: Develop pricing and packaging strategies to maximize revenue and market adoption.
- Market Presence: Represent Iris at industry events, trade shows, and customer meetings to build brand presence and close business.
- Customer Advocacy: Serve as the voice of the customer, gathering feedback to drive continuous improvement across all aspects of Iris.
