About Maki
Maki builds fully autonomous AI hiring agents that handle screening, interviewing, and selection at scale. Instead of drowning in admin, HR teams using Maki focus on what matters: engaging top talent and making smarter hiring decisions. Companies like H&M, BNP Paribas, and FIFA already trust Maki to automate 90% of screening and interviewing, cutting time-to-hire by 3x and reducing turnover by 20-30%.
We're at an inflection point: revenue is accelerating fast, the US market is becoming our largest geo, and we're building the team that will take Maki from Series A breakout to category leader.
Your Mission
You'll own the full sales cycle into large enterprise and AI-forward mid-market organizations across the US. Reporting to our CEO (Maxime Legardez), you'll be one of the first dedicated AE in the US, shaping the sales motion from the ground up while closing six- and seven-figure deals into complex buying committees.
This isn't a "run the playbook" role. You'll be building it, selling into CHROs, TA leaders, and innovation teams at Fortune 2000 companies, navigating multi-stakeholder cycles, and helping define how Maki wins in the US market.
What You'll Do
Own pipeline from qualification through close, running disciplined deal reviews and accurate forecasting
Drive new business across enterprise accounts with complex, multi-persona sales cycles
Partner directly with the CEO and GTM team to refine positioning, pricing, and go-to-market strategy
Champion strategic deals through RFPs, C-level engagements, and procurement processes
Bring a consultative, change-management-oriented approach to selling a new-category product
Who You Are
4-9 years of B2B SaaS sales experience with a strong individual closing track record
Proven ability to close six-figure+ enterprise deals, ideally with experience approaching seven figures
Comfortable selling into complex buying committees (HR, IT, Procurement, C-suite)
Experience at a high-growth startup (Series A through C) where you helped build, not just inherit, a sales motion
Deeply curious about AI and energized by selling a category-defining product that requires educating the market
Execution-first mindset: rigorous on pipeline, sharp on discovery, relentless on follow-through
Bonus
Experience selling into Chief People Officers, TA leaders, or Innovation/AI teams
Background in HR tech, talent acquisition, or AI-native products
Have been at a breakout company (think Harvey, Paradox, Decagon, Writer, Eightfold) or similar fast-scaling environments
What We Offer
Huge market opportunity at the intersection of AI and HR tech, selling into a category we're defining
Category-defining logos from day one: 40+ clients including Fortune 500s with global deployments
Real ownership: you're shaping GTM strategy, not executing someone else's spreadsheet
Comp & equity: $280k-$350k OTE, uncapped commission, generous equity
Based in New York
