Company Overview

Company Operating Rhythm

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a full-cycle Account Executive who builds your own pipeline and closes it. You are comfortable selling a product with real technical depth, holding your own with engineers, architects, and technical decision-makers, and translating what the product does into clear business value. You know how to land a new logo and grow it, and you are as comfortable working a partner co-sell as you are running a direct deal.

You are at ease operating across the varied markets and cultures of APAC, and you do your best work in a build environment where the playbook is still forming, priorities move quickly, and your input shapes how the team sells. You are organized, self-directed, and relentless about following up.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own a territory end to end: generate pipeline, run full-cycle deals, and carry a new-business and expansion number.

Build your own pipeline through self-prospecting, and work with SDRs and Marketing to grow pipeline and build Deepgram's presence in the market, including representing Deepgram at key developer and industry events.

Run both motions, with an emphasis on co-sell: work closely with the technology partners headquartered in Singapore, and sell directly into accounts across the region.

Sell across the full spectrum of the market, from fast-moving tech companies to large enterprises, focused on APAC and the broader ANZ region.

Land new logos and expand them over time, growing accounts through adoption and new use cases.

Work closely with Field Engineers to guide technical evaluations and move customers from evaluation into production.

Develop a strong command of customer needs, the competitive landscape, and Deepgram's products, and articulate the value clearly to technical audiences.

Maintain accurate pipeline hygiene and forecasting.

Bring the voice of the customer back to Deepgram, feeding product feedback and market insight to the team.

YOU'LL LOVE THIS ROLE IF YOU

Are energized by building early and want to help shape how Deepgram sells across APAC/ANZ.

Take pride in building your own pipeline and owning a deal from first touch to close.

Are at home selling to technical buyers and can hold your own on the substance of the product.

Enjoy running a partner co-sell motion alongside direct selling.
