Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Hire, develop, and manage a global team of Solutions Engineers, building a high-performance pre-sales function that scales with the business.
  • • Define and continuously improve our technical sales methodology, from discovery frameworks and qualification criteria to POC playbooks and the handoff to post-sales.
  • • Partner closely with Account Executives across regions to prioritize opportunities, set technical win strategies, and close high-value deals.
  • • Roll up your sleeves on strategic accounts: lead discovery sessions, design proof-of-concepts, and deliver executive-level presentations that tie back to measurable business value.
  • • Build a library of reusable assets — demo environments, reference architectures, integration templates, competitive battle-cards — that multiply the team's effectiveness and reduce time-to-value for prospects.
  • • Serve as the authoritative technical voice in the sales cycle for our most complex enterprise opportunities, including architecture reviews, security assessments, and compliance conversations.
  • • Represent the voice of the market to Product and Engineering: turn prospect feedback, competitive intelligence, and common objections into actionable input that shapes the roadmap.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Have 8+ years in technical pre-sales, solutions engineering, or sales engineering, including at least 2 years managing or leading a pre-sales team, ideally with experience operating across multiple regions.
  • • Have sold or built on top of AI/ML platforms, APIs, or developer infrastructure, and can credibly engage with both a machine learning engineer and a Chief Data Officer in the same meeting.
  • • Bring deep familiarity with LLMs, multimodal AI, REST APIs, and modern cloud architectures, with a strong grasp of video workflows and the enterprise buying process around AI.
  • • Have a track record of building repeatable pre-sales motions from scratch — playbooks, tooling, hiring profiles, onboarding programs — not just inheriting them.
  • • Have a real point of view on the video market — who the buyers are, where budgets are shifting, and what's actually broken in how enterprises handle video today.
  • • Have built joint go-to-market motions with cloud and ISV partners — AWS, GCP, Azure, or category-defining ISVs — and know how to turn a marketplace listing or co-sell program into actual pipeline.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • An open and inclusive culture and work environment.
  • • Work closely with a collaborative, mission-driven team on cutting-edge AI technology.
  • • Full health, dental, and vision benefits.
  • • Extremely flexible PTO and parental leave policy. Office closed the week of Christmas and New Years.
  • • VISA support where applicable.

About Twelve Labs Inc.

Twelve Labs builds multimodal video understanding AI. Its cloud platform transforms long-form video into vector embeddings that capture visual, audio, speech and contextual information, enabling semantic search, summarization, chaptering, moderation and analytics through a single API. Developers upload video, index it, then query in natural language or image to retrieve exact moments, generate highlights or detect unwanted content. Models are pretrained on large-scale web video, continually fine-tuned for accuracy and latency, and deployable on dedicated GPU clusters for enterprise security. Founded in 2021, the San Francisco company serves media, ed-tech, safety and e-commerce customers worldwide.
