Sales Lead, Enterprise

Intron provides real-time voice recognition system tailored for African accents, addressing a critical gap in speech AI for enterprises and startups who want to scale user engagement and boost productivity and efficiency, e.g. in clinics, courtrooms, and call centers across Africa where over 10 million human hours is lost annually to painful manual documentation despite being chronically understaffed.

In Health, we provide clinical speech recognition for 400+ accents spoken in developing countries starting with Africa, providing up to 7x documentation speed up, and saving overworked doctors 3hrs per day so they can focus better on patient care. We integrate this speech-to-text technology into our EMR, further cutting over 60% of administrative paperwork, improving operational efficiency, and enabling real-time disease surveillance.

At Intron, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.

We operate in a remote and fast-paced work environment where every team member has the autonomy to deliver on agreed goals with flexible schedules and regular team-building events to foster collaboration and innovation. We are avid learners and offer growth and clear career progression pathways, ensuring every team member achieves their full potential.

A full-time employee who believes in our mission and is willing to grow with the company.

We are seeking an ambitious and strategic Sales Lead to drive the adoption of our voice services within and beyond the healthcare industry (e.g. financial services, e-commerce, logistics, education, and aviation), negotiate enterprise contracts, and close deals. This role will require a dynamic leader who can develop and nurture key relationships, grow our pipeline, and accelerate pipeline velocity.
