Account Executive

Who are we?

Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We’re training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.

We obsess over what we build. Each one of us is responsible for contributing to increasing the capabilities of our models and the value they drive for our customers. We like to work hard and move fast to do what’s best for our customers.

Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.

Join us on our mission and shape the future!

Why this role?

In this role, you will have ownership of the full sales cycle - from identifying leads to closing deals for enterprises across diverse industries in Singapore and across other ASEAN countries such as financial services, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications and the public sector.

Cohere seeks an approachable and compelling communicator who loves working with prospects to uncover their needs and feels comfortable developing tailored value propositions around how Cohere’s platform can help them achieve their business goals. You’ll lay the foundation for Cohere’s growth by owning your territory and collaborating with teammates across Customer Success, Sales Development, Marketing and Sales Engineering.

You’ll be the voice of the field and partner with our Product and Engineering teams to prioritize the Cohere roadmap with customer-centric care. In this highly self-directed role, you are someone who thrives in an unstructured and quickly evolving environment. And your opportunity for impact will be astronomical — Cohere has skies-the-limit potential, and you’ll help us reach it.

As an Account Executive, you will:

• Focus on net-new logo acquisition via outbound business development activity and relationship building with key stakeholders

• Work closely with customers and prospects as a trusted advisor who deeply understands their challenges and goals, and will tailor solutions to drive impact for their businesses

• Work in close partnership with channel partners to find opportunities to scale outreach and customer satisfaction in your region

• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams on strategic motions to deliver solutions to large enterprise customers

• Collaborate with Sales Development Representatives to drive top of funnel activity

• Own the full sales cycle – from initial outreach through proof-of-concept to deal close

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 10+ years of enterprise level B2B sales experience, negotiating and closing large enterprise deals, and a track record of high performance and overachieving your quota

• Experience selling technical products, such as developer tools, API products, or AI / NLP solutions, are a plus

• A track record of working with channel partners to drive sales cycles and hit shared revenue goals

• High tolerance for ambiguity - as an early sales team hire, you’ll have to be a doer and a strategist

• Curiosity - you want to go deep on Agentic AI and NLP and become an expert on our technology

• Fantastic communication skills - you are a great listener, have a knack for understanding what matters most to others, build strong relationships, can speak to the C-suite, and feel comfortable speaking to both technical and non-technical audiences

If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply!

We value and celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive work environment for all. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities.
