About the role
About us
Encord is the universal data layer for AI that helps 300+ AI teams train and run models on the right data. Our platform indexes, curates, annotates, and evaluates data across the full AI lifecycle, from development through production.
Trusted by Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath, Zipline, and more. We're an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of AI and have raised $60M in Series C funding from Wellington Management, CRV, Next47 and Y Combinator.
The role
Encord is scaling rapidly, with strong product-market fit and a clear mandate to plant our flag in New York City. This is our first dedicated hire in the market — and the person who takes this role will be the founding presence that shapes how we show up on the East Coast.
You’ll be handed a genuinely compelling product with proven traction, a strong brand in AI circles, and the backing of a world-class team — then trusted to build from there. That means opening doors, winning deals, and laying the foundation for a team and office that grows around you.
Reporting directly to the Head of Sales and working closely with our founders, you'll take a category-defining AI infrastructure platform to market — selling into the most advanced AI teams in the world as we expand from core computer vision into Physical AI, one of the next major frontiers in AI.
This is a rare opportunity: traction is proven, the product is real, but the New York chapter hasn't been written yet. You'd be the one to write it.
