Company mission
To bring generative AI to the enterprise.
Role
Who you are
- 8+ years in a B2B SaaS closing role focused on Fortune 100 and Global 2000 (15k+ employees); extra points for experience selling to CIO or AI/innovation leaders at Fortune 500 companies
- Enjoy building in a scrappy, super-fast-moving (no, really, we’re not kidding) environment
- Demonstrable, consistent performance, meeting and exceeding quota
- Experience helping prospects build a business case to secure executive sponsorship
- Experience with value-based selling (but still know the product almost as well as SEs 🤓)
- Experience working with legal, security, and/or procurement teams to win deals
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Strong sales process: you are thoughtful about how to make sales repeatable for yourself
What the job involves
- Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the fast-moving generative AI space
- Become an expert in the wide range of use cases in which generative AI can drive business transformation for Fortune 100 and Global 2000 enterprises across different industries, and help customers contextualize the pros and cons of our full-stack approach
- Qualify inbound leads and guide them through the evaluation process
- Generate pipeline from ICP accounts via value-driven outbounding
- Demo to stakeholders and help prospects articulate and quantify the business case for investment
- Guide prospects through POCs and pilots with clear criteria for success; pull in key stakeholders early and help the team reach Buy consensus
- Lead champions through their internal budgeting, legal, security, and procurement processes (this is an evangelical sale where there is rarely an existing line item for the solution)
- Collaborate with your colleagues to share what is working, what is not, and refine Writer’s approach to serving strategic customers
Our take
AI-assisted writing tools have taken off over recent years. With the likes of high-exposure company Grammarly accelerating adoption of such tools, a flurry of startups have appeared to offer their own takes. Writer’s angle is to leverage AI as a means of standardizing and scaling both content and communications for business teams. The tool offers autofilling and inline suggestions that keep content aligned with pre-determined company language and style guides.
This branded fine-tuning function distinguishes it from full copy-generation competitors, as well as from Grammarly itself, which is a more generalist copyediting tool. It subsequently caters to major enterprise clients looking to maintain standards across multiple and sprawling teams, and the company has managed to net major clients like Deloitte, Twitter, UiPath, and Accenture.
While AI-related buzz remains solidly around generative AIs like ChatGPT and Bard, Writer's narrow target market - in which it has already found success - supplies plenty of scope to grow, as AI copyediting tools look set to rapidly become content industry standard. With continued new launches and updates to its offerings as well as an impressive $100 million Series B awarded in 2023, the company is well-placed to seek further success into the future.
