About Us
At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. The biggest challenge AI companies face today is not nearly as glamorous as the outside world may think: it's all about data quality. In fact, the success of any AI application today relies on the quality of a model's training data. For 95% of teams, this essential step is both the most costly, and the most time-consuming in getting their product to market.
As ex-computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we felt first-hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building AI. AI today is what the early days of computing or the internet were like, where the potential of the technology is clear, but the tools and processes surrounding it are still primitive, preventing the next generation of applications. This is why we started Encord.
Encord is the leading data development platform for computer vision & multimodal AI teams. Our platform helps companies streamline computer vision data operations through simple video tutorials and beginner courses. Encord offers three products - Annotate, Active and Index.
We are a team of 60, working at the cutting edge of multimodal and visual AI. Encord is backed by top investors, including CRV, Y Combinator, and Next47, leading industry executives like Luc Vincent, former VP of AI at Meta, and other Bay Area AI leaders. We are one the fastest growing companies in our space, and consistently rated as the best product in the market by our customers. We have big plans ahead and are looking for rockstars to join us in building our team.
The Role
You’ll be the driving force for Encord’s future growth and learn first-hand how to build a GTM function from scratch and scale to $XXM in ARR.
You'll spend your time on two core streams:
1) Sourcing — strategically identifying, prospecting and qualifying prospective customers. You'll own our messaging for different geographies and sectors, building and managing campaigns, and setting the foundations to then teach new joiners how it's done.
2) Driving our broader GTM function — you'll manage sales pipeline, help close deals and - as soon as you're ready - own deals from sourcing to close, support early customers and later plan our GTM strategy.
