As a business, we have achieved incredible success on the back of strong product-led growth and investment, yet we’re just getting started.

  • You will develop subject matter expertise in how strategic organizations can revolutionize their business communications and material through video.

  • Collaborate closely with Customer Success team on account adoption, retention and expansion.

We’d love to hear from you if you have…

  • Extensive experience in b2b SaaS sales landing and expanding high-value logos - your annual quota has been $1m+ and you have closed six figure deals before.

  • Strong experience in outbound prospecting into new accounts and conducting product demonstrations in a value-based sales environment.

  • The ability to identify client pain points and develop unique and compelling value propositions focused on delivering ROI.

  • Experience in reputable, value-driven, methodological sales environments, ideally using MEDDPICC or similar.

  • Strong business acumen and examples of how you’ve built business value and champions across complex, global organizations. 

  • You've experienced rapid growth and understand the opportunities and challenges that it can bring - and you thrive in it! 

  • Executive presence tied with exceptional verbal and written English.

We’d be particularly excited if you have…

  • Experience with video SAAS

  • Experience and interest in AI

Synthesia Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Synthesia and has not been reviewed or approved by Synthesia.

  • Leave & Time Off Breadth Leave benefits are positioned as generous, including substantial annual leave plus public holidays and an additional long-tenure sabbatical with a cash award. Flexible working hours and hybrid/remote arrangements further strengthen perceived time-off and flexibility value.
  • Healthcare Strength Health coverage is described as robust, including private medical insurance with mental health support and dental/vision coverage. Added features like cashback options and gym discounts extend the package beyond basic medical coverage.
  • Equity Value & Accessibility Equity is framed as a meaningful part of total rewards through a generous stock options plan and a recent employee liquidity event tied to a major funding round. This can materially improve the perceived value and accessibility of long-term incentives versus options that remain purely paper value.
