About SIMBA Voice Agents by Speechify

SIMBA lets companies deploy natural, human-sounding AI voice agents in 71+ languages with sub-second latency. We don't just hand customers a product and wish them luck — every customer gets a Forward Deployed Engineer who builds their agents, joins their Slack, and iterates with them weekly. We're building the future of voice AI, and we're looking for someone who can sell that vision and help bring it to life

About the Role

As an Account Executive / Go-to-Market, you're equal parts dealmaker and builder. You'll own the full sales cycle for new customers — from first call to close — while also getting hands-on during technical evaluations, demos, and early deployment. You understand that selling voice AI isn't just about pitching features; it's about showing prospects exactly how SIMBA fits into their world and making that first integration feel effortless.

This is a rare role for someone who can command a boardroom and open a terminal.

What You'll Do

• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting through close for mid-market and enterprise accounts
• Run technically deep discovery calls to understand customer use cases, tech stack, and integration requirements
• Build and demo custom voice agent prototypes during the sales process to accelerate buy-in
• Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure a seamless handoff from sale to onboarding
• Develop GTM playbooks, messaging, and outbound strategies to help SIMBA break into new verticals
• Represent customer needs internally, influencing product roadmap and packaging decisions
• Maintain a clean pipeline in CRM and accurately forecast revenue

What We're Looking For

• Ideally 3-8 years of experience in a sales, account executive, or GTM role at a technical B2B company
• Track record of closing deals with both technical buyers (CTOs, engineers) and business stakeholders
• Comfortable getting hands-on with APIs and no-code/low-code tools to build compelling demos
• Strong understanding of the AI/ML or voice technology landscape — you follow this space closely
• Exceptional communicator who can simplify complex technical concepts without losing their depth
• Highly self-directed with strong pipeline discipline and a bias toward action

Nice to Have

• Experience selling AI, voice, or conversational technology
• Familiarity with telephony infrastructure, contact centers, or customer experience platforms
• Prior experience in a forward deployment or solutions engineering capacity
• Multilingual or experience selling into international markets

Why Speechify SIMBA

• Sell a product that genuinely impresses prospects — sub-second latency and 71+ languages speaks for itself
• High ownership role with direct input on GTM strategy and positioning
• Work alongside a team that stays embedded with customers, so you're never selling something that doesn't deliver
• Competitive base + commission, equity, and benefits
• Fast-moving startup environment where your wins have outsized impact

The United States Salary range for this role is - $105,000–$140,000 base salary. On-target earnings of $150,000–$200,000.
