- This is a high-impact role, ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of AI innovation, customer value, and strategic selling
- Lead technical discovery sessions with enterprise customers to deeply understand their contact center environment, compliance requirements, VoiceAI, real-time agent requirements, QA workflows, and operational goals
- Design and deliver customized, value-driven demos and POVs showcasing:
- Intent recognition and interaction categorization (L1,L2,&L3) using intent, sentiment, and behavioral models
- Automated call quality scoring using machine learning and rule-based models
- GenAI-powered call summarization, compliance checks, and coaching recommendations
- LLM-based intent/sentiment detection, behavioral insights, and escalation triggers
- Build and maintain enterprise demo environments that simulate real-world contact center processes:
- Integrate LLMs for post-call transcript analysis and automated scoring explanations
- Use speech-to-text engines and language models for generating insights
- Demonstrate auto-scoring based on ML classifiers, thresholds, and QA rubrics
- Develop pre-packaged demo assets that highlight:
- Next-best action flows for real-time agent assist

Our take
Being stuck on the phone to customer service can be time-consuming and frustrating. Observe.AI aims to improve the experience with its Intelligent Workforce Platform. This transforms contact centers through AI by automating tasks and form filling, helping people find more information quicker.
Unconventionally, the company gained its footing by going directly to the call centres themselves, rather than the businesses they serve - providing valued call optimization tools to improve operatives' performance. It also supplies an analysis engine for cross-channel customer interactions, which enables users to find new revenue opportunities, employ effective coaching and improve quality assurance.
Observe.AI has raised huge amounts of funding, demonstrating the high levels of confidence in its market position and performance. A major technological and commercial partnership with Zoom, alongside the growing trend in businesses prioritising customer interactions, bodes well for the company's future.
