About Smartcat

Smartcat is on a mission to become the wall-to-wall Language AI platform, addressing the diverse needs in multilingual content for various user personas within global enterprises.

Smartcat is uniquely positioned within the $100+ billion multilingual content industry, which is currently served by tens of thousands of agencies. This results in a highly fragmented and inefficient supply chain, high costs, unacceptable turnaround times, and quality issues. Using highly qualified internal resources to translate or create multilingual content (insourcing) solves the quality problem for enterprises, but if done manually, it can’t solve for scalability, high cost, and slow turnaround.

Smartcat changes the ROI equation in favor of insourcing with its Language AI platform for enterprise end-users. It delivers high-quality, instantaneous AI translations or generates new content in any language by tapping into a customer-specific multilingual content library. The AI output is further refined through human editing by the client’s internal reviewers or experts from the Smartcat’s embedded global marketplace of linguists and content editors. This AI output continuously improves through the editing feedback loop, ensuring consistent and customer-tailored results.

More than 1,000 global companies including ~20% of the Fortune 1,000 trust Smartcat to communicate their innovations and ideas all over the world.

As a dynamic Series C company, Smartcat is growing at 130% YoY, thanks to the high and quick ROI it delivers to global enterprises. It’s well-funded by notable VCs, and is capital efficient, offering a unique blend of hyper-growth potential with downside protection and the capacity for long-term planning and strategy.

Mission We are seeking a results-driven enterprise sales professional to join Smartcat, focusing on driving new business acquisition and expanding revenue within our Strategic Accounts portfolio. This role is ideal for a high-energy, tenacious sales hunter with a proven track record of building relationships, sourcing net-new opportunities, and closing high-value enterprise deals. Your mission is to proactively identify, engage, and win new revenue streams while collaborating cross-functionally to accelerate Smartcat’s growth. Success is measured by consistent overachievement of sales targets and contributing to our 200–400% annual revenue growth.

Your Outcomes

  • Consistently exceed quarterly ARR quotas by driving net-new business and expanding within key strategic accounts.
  • Own the full enterprise sales cycle, from prospecting and lead qualification to negotiation and closing.
  • Develop and execute targeted account-based sales strategies to unlock new departments, stakeholders, and use cases within assigned accounts.
  • Relentlessly prospect for new opportunities, leveraging cold calls, email outreach, LinkedIn engagement, and in-person networking.
  • Work closely with Pre-Sales and Strategic Customer Success Managers to identify untapped growth areas, maximize account penetration, and ensure long-term client success.
  • Drive engagement by attending industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities to generate pipeline.
  • Maintain a strong pipeline of expansion opportunities and provide accurate sales forecasts to management.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of enterprise SaaS sales experience with a strong emphasis on hunting for net-new business within Fortune 500 companies.
  • Proven ability to break into new accounts, generate pipeline, and win new revenue through outbound prospecting.
  • Strong negotiation, objection handling, and closing skills with a consultative sales approach.
  • Experience selling complex B2B solutions to multiple stakeholders, including C-level executives.
  • Familiarity with sales methodologies such as Sandler, MEDDIC, or Challenger Sales is a plus.
  • Highly metrics-driven with the ability to analyze data, optimize sales efforts, and refine outreach strategies.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, embracing challenges with a competitive and goal-oriented mindset.
  • Comfortable with sales technology, including CRM tools (HubSpot), sales engagement platforms, and prospecting tools.
  • Strong communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills to sell at the executive level.
  • Self-starter mentality with a passion for winning and a drive to exceed expectations.

What We Look For

  • A true sales hunter who thrives on finding, engaging, and closing new business.
  • Someone who enjoys the thrill of the chase and is eager to own their success in a high-performance environment.

A natural networker and relationship-builder who can quickly establish trust with senior executives.

  • An adaptable, resilient professional who embraces the fast-moving nature of a startup and isn’t afraid to hustle.
  • Proven experience with closing a deal of $300,000 ARR + within Fortune 500 companies

If you’re passionate about sales and want to be part of one of the fastest-growing AI-powered platforms in a $100B industry, we’d love to hear from you!
