Account Director, Sales

mpathic is seeking a Sales Account Director to sell AI safety solutions to two groups of buyers: AI builders and labs that need to evaluate, red team, and improve the safety of their models, and enterprise organizations that are putting AI to work and need to monitor and analyze AI conversations. This is an individual contributor role for an experienced seller who is energized by complex, consultative sales.

Most of what you sell is SaaS, paired with expert-led services where customers need hands‑on support. You will own the full sales cycle, from building pipeline in target accounts through negotiation and close, and you will work closely with Clinical Solutions, Product, and Customer Success to make sure what you sell is what we deliver.
