About The Company

We are working with a fast-growing AI and data company based in the Washington, DC area. Using machine learning and novel data sources, they produce census-like data on what people in local communities across the world are like, what they think and how they behave. Governments, global marketing teams, pharmaceutical companies and leading foundations rely on that data to decide where to act, who to reach and how to message.

In this role you will:

• Map complex buying processes, working out who holds the budget and connecting champions and end users to the economic buyer.
• Turn a sophisticated data platform into concrete, compelling use cases for each customer.
• Lead negotiation and contracting, and drive deals to signature rather than another pilot.

• Share market insight with product and leadership to shape how the company goes to market.

• civil federal or state and local government
• foundations or international development
• You speak your customer’s language, whether from selling to them, consulting for them or working in the industry.
• Strong discovery skills (SPIN, MEDDICC or similar) and real discipline in closing.
• You’re collaborative, curious and comfortable with ambiguity, and you thrive working closely with others rather than in isolation.
• You’re based in or near DC, or in New York or Philadelphia and happy to travel to customers.
