Strategic Account Executivet

What you’ll do

Lilt is growing quickly and the Enterprise Account Executive role is core to our success. We are looking for a driven, hard-working, and adaptable sales professional who will propel us to new milestones by leveraging their skills, qualities, and experiences to grow our commercial footprint. You will achieve this by selling our platform and services to new customers while also supporting our Strategic Account Executives to expand partnerships with larger customers.

While we understand the power of a channel, in order to be successful in this role, you will close your quota through your own outbound efforts. This will require you to be a strong, systematic hunter who uses the latest revenue operations practices and technologies to run the entire sales cycle as well as work in conjunction with our ADR/BDR team. You will build relationships with our champions, business cases with their constituents, and “partnerships” with their businesses.

This position can be based out of our London, UK office / Emeryville, CA or Indianapolis, IN offices and will be expected to work in the office in a hybrid capacity. Additional locations include the Washington D.C., New York City, and Boston metropolitan areas where you will start as fully remote and then transition to hybrid once offices are opened in those locations. Fully remote applicants will also be considered.

Authorization to work in the U.S. / UK is a precondition of employment.

Our Story

Our founders, Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. They were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the company and left to start a new company to address this need – LILT.

At its core, LILT has always been a machine learning company since its incorporation on March 6, 2015. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting-edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models, believing that this foundation was imperative to the future of enterprise translation.

Lilt is the leading AI solution for enterprise translations. Our stack made up of our Contextual AI Engine, Connector APIs, and Human Adaptive Feedback enables global organizations to adopt a true AI translation strategy, focusing on business outcomes instead of outputs. With Lilt, innovative, category-defining organizations like Intel, ASICS, WalkMe, and Canva are using AI technology to deliver multilingual, digital customer experiences at scale.
