Safe Intelligence is on a mission to make AI safe and reliable for anyone to use. To help us succeed, our team is looking for our first sales hire, and we’re hoping it’s you!
In this role, you’ll play a key role in researching and reaching out to potential customers for the company. These will be large enterprises in key industries such as Aviation, Mobility, Robotics, Finance and Insurance that use Machine Learning for high-risk tasks. Your role will be to identify the right people to talk to, reach out to them and facilitate initial conversations to see if our team and product might help them.
The role is customer facing and will involve warm and cold outreach + some technical depth in conversations on complex topics. Success will enable you to grow with the company to more experienced roles in sales or other areas of the company. You’ll be surrounded by a team of experts who can help you level up fast to understand customer needs.
Experience of complex technical sales would be helpful, and previous knowledge of Machine Learning is a large plus.
We’re looking forward to having you on board!
Responsibilities: At Safe Intelligence you will:
* Identify and reach out to individuals and companies that build and operate high-stakes machine learning models in order to facilitate meetings.
* Work closely with those prospects to understand their ML models and help them determine if our products and services are right for them. Generally these will be R&D and product teams at customer organisations.
* Research markets, events and opportunities to reach prospects.
* Get involved in sales discussions, follow ups and, if desired, project delivery.
* Use your curiosity to build a detailed understanding of customer needs and how they could be met.
Requirements: The key requirements for the role are:
* Experiences that have helped you develop original thinking, problem solving.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

* Ability and experience following a structured sales process.
In addition, highly valuable but not required:
* Hands-on technical experience of any kind, and machine learning in particular.
* Experience selling Machine Learning solutions or other highly technical products.
* Technical sales experience (e.g., as a sales engineer)
* A European language in addition to English
At a personal level we’re also looking for some who is:
* Excited about interacting with others and digging in to help solve their problems collaboratively.
* Curious about the world and constantly in a state of learning.
* Able to communicate clearly and efficiently with a variety of audiences including developers, customers, researchers, partners and executives.
* Fearless in getting "hands-on" in reaching out to people and following up.
* Empathetic to customers in order to understand their true needs.
* Collaborative with, and respectful of others on the team.
* Honest, straightforward and caring about each other’s well being.
Why Safe Intelligence is for you:
We strongly believe AI can bring great benefits to individuals and society, but these will only be achieved if the systems we build are safe to use. To meet this need, we are developing advanced deep validation techniques and tools that allow AI/ML engineers world-wide to validate the robustness of their models, as well as repair the fragilities that they discover.
By joining us, you’ll be able to help advance the techniques, bring advanced technologies to AI/ML engineers worldwide and contribute to our shared mission to realise successful and reliable AI.
