About Gladia

Gladia builds the audio AI infrastructure behind the new generation of voice products. Our mission is to give every voice platform true conversational intelligence — the audio infrastructure that understands every conversation, turning voice into the world's most valuable data layer.

Our API turns real-world conversational audio into accurate, structured, real-time output — powered by our proprietary Solaria ASR , across 100+ languages, with industry-leading latency.

Hundreds of companies build their voice products on Gladia — from meeting assistants and voice agents to sales-enablement and contact-center platforms. We started in Paris, our growth is developer-led and heavily US-driven (and we're going after the US market hard).

Headquartered in vibrant tech hubs like Paris and New York City, Gladia has been acquired by OVH Groupe — Europe's leading cloud provider — and now operates as a fully autonomous brand and company within the Group.

We're guided by four values :

• Honest — Say the real thing, kindly.
• Smart — Work smart, ship fast.
• Builders — Own your scope, build to last.
• Caring — Support people, take pride in the craft.

As a Senior AE , you'll uncover the challenges organisations ( voice agents, meeting assistants, contact-center platforms) face when they build and run Speech AI at scale and land the right Gladia solution for them. You'll sell a technical, usage or contract based API product to engineering and business stakeholders.

The role

• Run a rigorous, repeatable sales process across a range of company types and buyer profiles — from developer-led teams to enterprise buying committees.
• Own the relationship map for your territory: existing accounts and the aspirational logos you want to win.
• Build a deep understanding of each customer's business and the technical problem they're solving.
• Negotiate pricing and terms by selling value and ROI, not discounts.
• Expand reach and depth across your territory — grow existing accounts while landing new logos.
• Navigate complex, technical deals with resourcefulness, and know intuitively what it takes to get to close.
• Work alongside Forward Deployed Engineers in complex Sales cycles and Gladia evaluations
• Identify the real business drivers behind every opportunity, and qualify hard.
• Keep forecasting accurate and consistent — your pipeline is always clean.

• Consistent track record of meeting or beating direct sales targets
• Comfortable managing deal sizes of 50K to 150K USD
• You build your own pipeline — you can show the method, not just the results.
• Experience selling to engineers and IT decision-makers .
• Strong knowledge of sales methodologies (MEDDICC, BANT, or similar).
• Experience winning new logos in an innovative tech environment (SaaS, API, dev tools, IT infrastructure or similar).
• Collaborative problem-solver, with high standards, proactivity and genuine curiosity.
