Who We Are: Prior Labs is building breakthrough foundation models that understand spreadsheets and databases - the backbone of science and business. Foundation models have transformed text and images, but structured data has remained largely untouched. We're tackling this $100B+ opportunity to revolutionize how we approach scientific discovery, medical research, financial modeling, and business intelligence.
Our Momentum: We're the world-leading organization working on structured data, and we're accelerating fast. Our TabPFN v2 model, recently published in Nature, sets the new state-of-the-art for structured data. We've hit 2.2M+ downloads, 5,000+ GitHub stars, and growth is accelerating. We're now building the next generation of models that combine AI advancements with specialized architectures for structured data.
What's Next: With €9M in pre-seed funding from top-tier investors and backing from leaders at Hugging Face, DeepMind, and Silo AI, we're scaling fast and building our team. This is the moment to join: help us shape the future of structured data AI. Read our manifesto.
About the RoleWe are hiring an Account Executive (Technical) to drive commercial adoption of our foundation models for structured data. This role sits at the intersection of technical depth and commercial execution. You'll own the full sales cycle: from identifying high-potential accounts through signed contracts, running discovery conversations with technical buyers and helping shape how we bring breakthrough AI to market.
This role combines a strong outbound focus with the potential for end-to-end deal ownership. ou'll spend most of your time on outreach and discovery with technical buyers (data scientists, ML engineers, technical leaders), while also navigating buying committees, developing proposals, and closing deals. You'll help create the materials and messaging that make our outbound motion successful while driving revenue outcomes. This is not a quota-carrying role, we're looking for someone who loves the craft of outbound and wants to build the engine, not just close deals.
