About the role

What You Will Do

  • Own and drive new business for Mercor. Find your way to the right people at prospective customers, educate them about AI-powered contingent workforce solutions, and help them succeed. You'll own the full sales cycle, from first call to close
  • Run a high-velocity outbound motion and build the pipeline through the AI/tech startup ecosystem: VC networks, founder communities, Twitter/X, GitHub, conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, YC Demo Day)
  • Manage rapid sales cycles (1-4 weeks): qualify, demo, propose, close
  • Speak the language of technical buyers: understand ML infrastructure, cloud, engineering org design, and talent market dynamics
  • Develop startup-specific packaging: flexible engagement models, pilot programs, and ramp-based pricing
  • Become a visible presence in the AI/tech talent community through content, events, and thought leadership
  • Feed market intelligence back to Product and Delivery

What You Bring

  • 4-7 years of quota-carrying sales experience in SaaS, developer tools, tech marketplaces, or tech-enabled talent platforms
  • Track record of selling to CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and technical founders
  • Experience at a high-growth startup or as an early sales hire (employee #1-30)
  • Genuine curiosity and fluency in technology, especially AI/ML: can discuss fine-tuning, inference costs, GPU clusters, and engineering team scaling
  • Strong personal network in the tech/AI startup ecosystem
  • Bias toward speed: default urgency in everything
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical or business field; CS or engineering background a plus
