About the role
This is a builder’s role in the early stages of Wizstar's US expansion. Every deal is a net-new customer discovering the magic of AI video and live streaming for the first time. You won't just be handed a static playbook; you will help write it.
Responsibilities
- Act as a founding GTM pillar in the US: Own and close net-new business end-to-end, helping us establish a strong foothold in the North American market.
- Prospect into target accounts (forward-thinking brands, agencies, creators) and build a robust pipeline from the ground up.
- Run tailored product evaluations and demos that connect Wizstar's digital human capabilities to a prospect's specific content generation and live-streaming workflows.
- Lead consultative discovery that helps early-adopter prospects see the ROI and creative possibilities of Wizstar.
- Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and leadership teams to channel US market feedback directly into our product roadmap.
- Help build our US sales playbook, processes, and culture as we scale.
- Use AI creatively, whether to generate personalized outreach videos using our own product or to improve your daily workflows.
Requirements
- 4+ years in a closing role (AE, senior AE, or sales leader) with a track record of carrying and exceeding quota.
- Proven ability to hunt and build pipeline from scratch, not just manage inbound leads. You thrive in a "Zero to One" environment.
- Experience closing new-logo deals in the [$50K-$100K] range with multiple stakeholders in a consultative, solutions-oriented selling motion.
- High business IQ: you can walk into a conversation with a brand you've never sold to, quickly understand their marketing/e-commerce/live-streaming motion, and identify where Wizstar creates value. This is the single most important skill in the role.
- Creative and resourceful, whether that's finding clever ways to use AI video tools in your own work or learning and pitching all of Wizstar’s exciting use cases.
- Experience with a formal sales methodology (we don't care which one, but you have a structured approach to running deals).
- You're an entrepreneurial communicator who can hold a room (or a Zoom call) without dominating it.
Qualifications
- Proven success in a similar role with a strong track record of closing deals.
- Ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and methodologies.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to build relationships with key decision-makers.
- Passion for using technology to enhance creative and commercial outcomes.
Skills
- Excellent communication and presentation skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Proficiency in CRM tools and sales methodologies.
- Knowledge of AI and its applications in marketing and live streaming.
Benefits
- Mission-driven work in a rapidly growing company.
- Opportunities for growth and development within a supportive and innovative culture.
