Full Job Description
The Role

As an Account Executive (Data Partnerships), you'll source the real-world business data that trains the next generation of AI models directly from operating companies. Unlike our Wind-down motion, there's no forcing event here pushing a company toward yes. You're selling a new, no-catch revenue stream: companies license their data, retain ownership of it, we de-identify it, and they get paid. You'll identify, pitch, negotiate, and close these deals end-to-end, translating between what makes a dataset valuable to AI labs and what actually gets a company to say yes.

What You'll Do
  • Own the full lifecycle: source targets, pitch executives, structure terms, and close proprietary data deals
  • Structure and negotiate complex deal structures; handling pricing, terms, data privacy, anonymization, and compliance
  • Speak with and manage C-suite executives through complex sales cycles
  • Work with with engineering, ops and our partners to identify the most valuable assets that need sourcing


How You'll Be Measured
  • Number of datasets closed per month
  • Percentage of pipeline self-sourced
  • Percentage and ratio of higher value datasets acquired


Required aptitude
  • You're excited about building in-person, 5 days a week, from our office in Dumbo
  • You want to work hard and strive for world-class levels in performance
  • 2-4+ years in a high-performance, client-facing environment: enterprise sales, consulting, investment banking, partnerships, business development, or data deals
  • A track record of hitting or exceeding a number (quota, revenue, deals closed) that you can point to concretely
  • Banker/M&A-caliber negotiation skill: handles objections and is comfortable in high-stakes, high-scrutiny conversations
  • High EQ and IQ, technically credible enough to speak to highly technical mechanics with engineering and legal stakeholders


Bonus
  • Experience in data licensing, sourcing, or selling data
  • Previously worked at an AI lab, data labeling company, top-tier management consulting firm, or investment bank
  • Background in complex B2B negotiations or structured finance/deal-making


Compensation & Benefits
  • OTE (On Target Earnings) of $500K+
    • Comprised of: $125K base + $180K variable + 1% carry on data sales you initially closed
  • Meaningful equity
  • 100% covered medical, dental, and vision
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Free gym + workout class memberships (via Wellhub)
  • $500 desk allowance
