Strategic Accounts Director

About Us Raylu is the AI-native deal origination platform for private markets. Private market investors live and die by what they can find. The best opportunities are buried in a flood of data, and the funds that surface them first win the deal - the rest read about it in the press. We're building the AI that flips that equation: agents that take an investor from a thesis to a booked founder meeting in minutes, with the depth, sourcing, and factual accuracy that sophisticated investors will actually stake a decision on. Today, 50+ funds representing more than $500B in AUM use Raylu to see more deals, reach more founders, and make sharper decisions. The Role We're hiring our first Strategic Accounts Director to own and grow Raylu's largest, most important customer relationships. This is a focused, high-leverage role - not a high-volume one.

Their fund structure, their mandate, their sourcing workflows, and the outcomes their partners actually care about. What You'll Do Drive full-platform adoption.

Partner directly with the world's leading private-market investors to make Raylu mission‑critical to how they source and win deals. Carry the voice of your customers into the product team, so the roadmap is shaped by what will move the needle most for the people who actually use Raylu.
