⚡ Who You Are
We're looking for our first founding sales hire, a scrappy, sharp, and ambitious GTM builder who’s excited to create the system that drives our first $1M+ in ARR.

This is not a “just book meetings” job. You’ll own the funnel end-to-end: lead gen, outreach, qualification, demo, close, and post-sale handoff. You’ll work directly with the CEO and founding team. You’ll be the voice in the market and the feedback loop into product.
  • 3–6 years experience in early-stage SaaS sales, ideally in API-based or platform products
  • Comfortable selling to both technical teams (devs, PMs) and business leaders (sales, ops, HR)
  • Fluent in outbound and sales tools: Apollo, Lemlist, HubSpot, SalesNav, etc.
  • Can confidently explain LLMs, APIs, or conversational AI
  • You know how to sell value, not just features, and you ask for the close
  • You move fast, think like a founder, and bring energy to the chase
  • Obsessed with improvement, ownership, and beating your own best
Your Responsibilities
  • Build and run our entire sales engine from scratch: inbound, outbound, and partnerships
  • Lead generation: Define ICPs, source leads (inbound & outbound), build automations, qualify fast
  • Outreach & positioning: Personalize at scale, iterate copy, and experiment with outbound campaigns with smart targeting and creative tactics
  • Demo & deal flow: Book and run product demos (API + platform), handle objections, and move fast to close
  • Pipeline strategy: Build and manage pipeline in our CRM, score leads, track conversion
  • Early GTM playbook: Help us scale what works and kill what doesn’t
  • Experimentation: Test channels, scripts, formats, track what moves the needle
  • Voice of the customer: Feed insights back to product and marketing
  • Revenue: You’ll be on the frontlines of getting us to our first $1M+ ARR target
Let's talk about you!
You're hungry, fast, and wired for action. You’ve probably already worked at a few high-growth B2B startups. You know what good sales looks like, and you want the ownership to build it from zero. You’ve worked deals from cold outreach to signed contract and everything in between. You love learning, you love closing, and you love the idea of helping build something category-defining.

Bonus if you've sold to HR, sales, customer success, or innovation teams, or have experience in AI, APIs, or new interfaces like voice/chat/avatar tech.

Why Beyond Presence?
  • Massive opportunity: You’re selling something that feels like the future
  • Real ownership: You’ll define and drive our GTM from day one
  • World-class tech: Sub-1s latency, high visual fidelity, real-time streaming avatars
  • Early traction: Warm inbound leads, early adopters, and API usage already live
  • A tight, ambitious team: We move fast, care deeply, and back each other fully
  • Global from day one: Selling into DACH and US markets from day one
  • Backed by top investors: Founded by the team behind Presize (acquired by Meta)
About us
At Beyond Presence, we’re on a mission to make AI more human and more emotional.
We build hyper-realistic, real-time interactive avatars that give AI a face. These avatars don’t just speak, they connect. Whether it’s through our API, which lets developers embed responsive digital humans into their own products, or our Conversational Video Agent platform, which allows anyone to create human-like agents that automate conversations, our technology brings a human touch to every interaction.

From qualifying leads to conducting interviews or enhancing virtual assistants, our avatars behave, sound, and feel like real people. They respond in under one second, with micro-expressions, emotional nuance, and visual presence that builds trust from the very first moment.

But what truly makes us different is how we build, not just what we build.
We believe great products are built by great people. That’s why we’re obsessed with bringing the most talented minds together to shape the future of how humans and AI communicate. We move fast, take full ownership, and push for excellence. Not perfection, but meaningful progress. We're not afraid to care deeply about our craft, our teammates, and the impact our work has in the world.

If you're excited about building technology that doesn’t just function, but feels, join us.
We’re Beyond Presence, and we’re making AI human.
