Why this role?
In this role, you will have ownership of the full sales cycle - from identifying leads to closing deals for high-growth tech companies and large enterprises. We’re looking for an approachable and compelling communicator who loves working with prospects to uncover their needs and feels comfortable developing tailored value propositions around how Cohere’s platform can help them achieve their business goals. You’ll lay the foundation for Cohere’s growth by owning your territory and collaborating with teammates across customer success, sales development, marketing and solution engineering. You’ll be the voice of the field and help our product, and engineering teams prioritize the Cohere roadmap with customer-centric care. It’s a highly self-directed role, so you should be someone who thrives in an unstructured environment and quickly evolving environment. And your opportunity for impact will be astronomical — Cohere has skies-the-limit potential, and you’ll help us reach it.

Drive net-new customer acquisition via targeted outbound activity, executive introductions, and relationship building with key stakeholders across EMEA

Collaborate with Cohere’s Product and Engineering teams on strategic motions to deliver solutions to large enterprise customers
Collaborate with Sales Development Representatives and Marketing to drive top of funnel activity
Own the full sales cycle working in a team selling environment – from initial outreach, technical and business validation, through deal close
You may be a good fit if you have:
Speak fluent German or French (ideally both) in addition to English
5+ years of B2B enterprise sales experience with Global 2000 and large enterprise customers along with experience negotiating & closing transformational 7-figure deals
A proven track record of high performance and exceeding quotas
Experience building and maintaining senior-level relationships with executives
Experience selling complex enterprise level solutions, technical products, private deployments (AI/NLP solutions preferred)
Experience working with channel partners to drive sales cycles and hit shared revenue goals
High tolerance for ambiguity - as an early sales team member, you’ll have to be a doer and a strategist
Highly organized - this is a high activity role involving multiple team members and you are responsible for keeping everyone on track
Creativity - deal structures can widely vary, strong technical acumen and the ability to creatively structure mutually beneficial partnerships are necessary
Excellent communication skills - you are a great listener, have a knack for understanding what matters most to other & building strong relationships, experienced presenting to a C-suite audience, and feel comfortable speaking to both technical and non-technical customer prospects
If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you want to work really hard on a glorious mission with teammates that want the same thing, Cohere is the place for you.
