About the Role

As Livepeer Studio's sales representative, you will play a crucial role in driving adoption for a disruptive video streaming service. You will be working closely on a multi-disciplinary GTM team, and laser focused on driving leads and growing the early-stage pipeline leading to closing deals.

Your success will be measured by leads generated, pipeline size and deals closed.

This role is great for someone confident in their own abilities, and looking for an opportunity with room and flexibility to accelerate their career growth. You will take advantage of already growing demand and an established product, engineering, and marketing team. The work will be challenging because you will be the first person accountable to deliver sales numbers, but it will also be rewarding because there is plenty of low hanging fruit.
