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. We've achieved strong product–market fit and have a clear path to significantly accelerate revenue this year. In Physical AI alone, we've grown revenue 10x over the past 12 months — and we're just getting started.

Now, we're looking for exceptional sales talent to help build and scale the Physical AI business from the ground up.

Reporting to the Head of Physical AI and partnering closely with our founders and leadership team, you'll take a category-defining AI infrastructure platform to market — selling to some of the most advanced AI teams in the world as we expand from Digital into Physical AI use cases. This is a high ownership, individual contributor role with a path to grow responsibilities from sourcing and supporting on expansion deals to progressing into leading on our complex post-sales motion. This is not a traditional AM role.

You'll be an early post-sales hire with real ownership. You'll help shape how we engage and grow the right customers as we scale — while building the foundations of a long-term commercial career. From day one, you'll be expected to think like a seller: prioritising the right accounts, crafting expansion strategies and partnering closely with the Head of Physical AI to identify & move real expansion opportunities forward.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the inflection point: with proven PMF and clear dominance in Digital AI — and now doubling down on Physical AI, one of the most transformative technological revolutions of our time.

You won't just be joining a rocket ship — you'll help steer it.
