Director of Sales (Entertainment)

Intro to Easol Easol is the first AI operating system for the Experience Commerce category - an intelligent digital workforce that helps experience creators (our word for client) run their business. Our ambition is bold: to become the category leader in a $300bn+ space. We power professional experience creators with a fully integrated platform that brings together website, booking engine, payments, sales & marketing tools, operations, and data & insight - all underpinned by agentic AI. Easol enables enterprise creators to streamline, scale and transform their businesses through a single, end-to-end system. Today, we focus on two core verticals: Music, with creators including Coachella, Live Nation and Afro Nation - and Entertainment, with creators including Swingers Crazy Golf and Hijingo. Over the next year, we’ll be deepening our product in each vertical and expanding into new segments. We’re a fast-growing, well-funded business that has doubled in size in 2025, with a clear pathway to do the same again in 2026. A key pillar of our strategy is building AI-centric workflows directly into the platform, transforming how creators design, sell and operate their experiences.

LBE is a key growth area for the business in 2026. Having entered the market in 2025, Easol has won flagship creators (Swingers Golf, Hijingo, Bingo Loco). It is a rapidly‑growing market currently served by a fragmented legacy stack; the opportunity is huge and we are at an inflection point as AI presents a step change in how Easol can support creators.
