We don’t care about short-term wins; we build systems that stand the test of time. If you thrive in a culture of excellence without compromise and want to see your work have an immediate, remarkable impact, you’re in the right place.
Position Summary
Mashgin is looking to hire an Account Director to our sales team. We’ve dominated the sports and entertainment world, and now we’re looking for a founding-style sales professional to spearhead our 0-to-1 expansion into the Business & Industry (B&I) Dining, Higher Ed, and other high growth verticals. This isn't just about selling a product; it’s about evangelizing a paradigm shift in how corporate campuses, ski, and industrial sites handle high-volume dining and retail experiences.
You won't be following a well-trodden path. You will be building it. As a Vertical Expansion AE, you will own the full sales cycle—from identifying high-potential B&I accounts to closing the deals that set the blueprint for our future growth.
What We Value:
- Impact: You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your work. We stay lean and efficient, so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day.
- Simplicity: Complexity is a waste of time here—we take pride in building things that just work.
- Hard Work: Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual automation.
- Humility: No task is beneath you. Whether it's high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug, we check our egos at the door and get real work done.
- Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
- Customer Innovation: We are customer-centric, not customer-pleasing. You won’t bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
- Efficiency: Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment, giving you your time back to focus on real work.
