About The Role

This person will define and accelerate enterprise adoption across categories including AI, security, fintech, payments, consumer platforms, marketplaces, gaming, dating, ticketing, social, commerce, and agentic workflows.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the full lifecycle of strategic enterprise opportunities from market mapping and sourcing through negotiation, launch, and expansion.
  • Build and manage relationships with C-level executives, founders, boards, and senior decision makers across global enterprises.
  • Drive adoption of World ID and proof-of-human products in high-utility environments where organizations need to verify that a real human is behind a digital interaction.
  • Structure and negotiate complex commercial agreements, platform integrations, strategic partnerships, and multi-year enterprise contracts.
  • Develop new revenue opportunities across enterprise security, AI agents, fintech, payments, marketplaces, gaming, social platforms, dating, ticketing, commerce, and other categories affected by bots, fraud, impersonation, and synthetic identity.
  • Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Policy, Marketing, Operations, and Executive Leadership to bring new commercial opportunities to market.
  • Identify ecosystem partnerships that accelerate adoption, distribution, density, and long-term strategic value for the World network.
  • Lead executive-level negotiations involving multiple stakeholders, business units, geographies, and regulatory considerations.
  • Create and maintain a robust pipeline of high-value enterprise opportunities.
  • Represent Tools for Humanity externally with customers, partners, investors, and industry leaders.
  • Help shape the company’s go-to-market strategy as World moves deeper into utility-driven growth.

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise sales, strategic partnerships, business development, investment banking, consulting, or related commercial leadership roles.
  • Proven track record of personally closing large, complex, and high-stakes enterprise deals.
  • Demonstrated ability to create markets and source opportunities rather than simply manage inbound demand.
  • Experience selling to or partnering with Fortune 500 companies, major technology platforms, financial institutions, consumer platforms, or other senior executive stakeholders.
  • Exceptional commercial judgment, negotiation skills, and executive presence.
  • Ability to translate complex technical products into clear business value for senior decision makers.
  • Strong understanding of how AI, fraud, identity, trust, security, and digital interaction are changing enterprise needs.
  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and build new commercial motions from scratch.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
  • High ownership mentality, urgency, and bias toward action.

Nice to Have

  • Experience closing $1M+ ARR enterprise agreements or equivalent strategic partnerships.
  • Experience in identity, cybersecurity, AI, fintech, payments, marketplaces, consumer platforms, developer platforms, crypto, infrastructure, or high-growth technology companies.
  • Existing network across major technology companies, financial institutions, global consumer platforms, and strategic ecosystem partners.
  • Experience navigating international, cross-functional, or policy-sensitive deal environments.
  • Experience bringing new technical products to market before the category is fully established.
  • History of consistently outperforming ambitious revenue targets.

Who You Are

You are a builder. You are comfortable creating the sales motion while also closing the most important deals yourself. You are intellectually curious, commercially sharp, and energized by category-defining work.

You believe the internet needs new trust infrastructure for an AI-shaped world, and you want to help bring proof of human to the organizations and products where it can create real utility.
