### **Where You’ll Work**

This position can be based out of our Emeryville, CA or Indianapolis, IN
offices and will be expected to work in the office in a hybrid capacity.
Additional locations include the Boston, Washington D.C., and New York City
metropolitan areas where you will start as fully remote and then transition to
hybrid once offices are opened in those locations. Fully remote applicants

require you to be a strong, systematic hunter who uses the latest revenue

work in conjunction with our ADR/BDR team. You will build relationships with
our champions, business cases with their constituents, and “partnerships” with
their businesses.

* Proficient with leading sales tools such as Salesforce/Hubspot, Linkedin Sales Navigator, Salesloft, ZoomInfo, and [Chorus.ai](http://Chorus.ai)

* Experience in account management and collaborating with cross-functional service & delivery teams to influence strategy and creatively solve client’s business problems

* Skilled at negotiating business terms with line-of-business, procurement and contract teams, senior management and/or C-level executives

* Proven ability to influence & drive cross-departmental strategy and collaboration (Services, Product, Solutions, Senior Leadership) during deal cycles in creatively solving our client’s business problems

* Excellent verbal and written communication skills and excels leading in-person meetings and web-based demos

* Process and solution oriented with a customer mindset and ability to challenge the status quo in order to uncover and prove out multiple land and expand use cases

### **Our Story**

Our founders, Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As
researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology
to make information accessible to everyone. They were amazed to learn that
Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the
company and left to start a new company to address this need – LILT.

At its core, LILT has always been a machine learning company since its
incorporation on March 6, 2015. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet
the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting-
edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand
for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language
Models, believing that this foundation was imperative to the future of
enterprise translation.

### **Benefits:**

* Compensation: At market salary with the opportunity to earn on-target earnings (OTE), meaningful equity, 401(k) matching, and flexible time off plus company holidays

* Medical Benefits: Employees receive coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus FSA/DFSA, HSA, and Commuter benefits. In addition, LILT pays for basic life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability

* Paid parental leave is provided after 6 months.

* Monthly lifestyle benefit stipend via the Fringe platform to allow employees to customize benefits to their lifestyle
