This is a hands-on, full-cycle sales role: you'll own prospecting, pipeline building, deal

negotiation, and closing with game studios, publishers, content platforms, and developer

teams. You know the gaming industry from the inside - you understand how studios

evaluate tools, how production pipelines work, and who the decision-makers are. You'll

be Viggle's face to the US market and a key voice feeding market insight back into our

product roadmap.

Responsibilities
  • Own the full B2B sales cycle - from prospecting and qualification to demos,

negotiation, and closing - for Viggle's fourAPI product lines: Viggle Video, 3D

Character, Mocap, and Text-to-Motion.
  • Build and manage a pipeline of game studios, publishers, content platforms,

animation studios, and developer teams across the US market.
  • Drive API adoption: work with prospects' technical teams on integration

evaluation, proof-of-concepts, and usage-based commercial structures.
  • Develop deep product knowledge and deliver compelling technical and API demos

in partnership with our product and engineering teams.
  • Understand client production pipelines (game engines, animation workflows,

content platforms) and translate their pain points into solution proposals.
  • Negotiate enterprise agreements, API pricing, and licensing terms; coordinate with

internal legal and finance teams on contracting.
  • Represent Viggle at industry events, conferences, and trade shows (e.g., GDC,

SIGGRAPH) to build brand presence and generate leads.Maintain accurate CRM records, sales forecasts, and pipeline reporting for leadership.
  • Gather and relay market intelligence, competitive insights, and customer feedback

to inform product and go-to-market strategy.

Who You Are

Required Experience
  • 4+ years of B2B sales experience, with a proven track record of closing deals in the

gaming industry (game studios, publishers, or gaming technology/middleware

vendors).
  • Strong understanding of game development and content production pipelines,

particularly 3D art, animation, video, and/or motion capture workflows.
  • Experience selling technical products - APIs, SaaS, middleware, developer tools,

or content solutions - to technical and creative buyers.
  • Demonstrated ability to run a full sales cycle independently - prospecting,

demoing, negotiating, and closing.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills; comfortable presenting to studio

executives, product leaders, and engineering teams.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment with minimal

supervision.
  • Based in our Toronto office and able to travel to LA; authorized to

work in Canada, and travel occasionally in the United States.

Strong Signals
  • Experience selling API or developer platform products with usage-based pricing

models.
  • Existing network of relationships with game studios, publishers, content platforms,

or 3D/animation production teams.
  • Prior experience selling animation tools, game engines, middleware, mocap

solutions, generative AI products, or other content creation technology (e.g., Unity,

Unreal, Autodesk, Vicon, Xsens ecosystems).
  • Familiarity with AI-powered video and motion generation tools and the emerging

AI + gaming landscape.
  • Ability to speak credibly about API integration concepts (endpoints, rate limits,

usage metering) with technical buyers.
  • Experience at an early-stage startup, building sales processes and playbooks from

scratch.
  • Track record of consistently meeting or exceeding quota.

You Are
  • A hunter - you generate your own pipeline and don't wait for leads to come to you.Consultative - you sell by understanding the client's production challenges, not by pushing features.
  • Credible with creators - you speak the language of game developers, artists, and animators.
  • Organized and data-driven - you run a disciplined pipeline and forecast accurately.
  • Low ego, high output - you care about results more than recognition.

Why This Role

direct access to leadership.
