Job description
### Why I’m writing this I’m hiring for a role that doesn’t fit neatly into a box—and that’s the point. You will work directly with me. I’m the founder of [Overview.ai](http://Overview.ai) and Head of Revenue, and I’ve helped take this company from **$0 → $20M**, and now we’re building the path from **$20M → $100M+**. This role is about learning how to do that—end to end—by being deeply embedded in the hardest, highest-leverage problems across the company. If you’re thinking about being a founder one day, or you’ve already been one and want to build something truly generational, this role is written for you. [Overview.ai](http://Overview.ai) is solving a problem that **every manufacturer in the world has**. We combine **hardware + software + AI** in a way that is genuinely difficult to copy. We’re in hypergrowth (700% this year), and this is a foundational role as we enter our next phase. This is **high-pace, high-context, high-agency work**. You won’t be handed a playbook—you’ll help write it. --- ### What you’ll actually do This role sits at the intersection of **deep technical understanding, storytelling, and execution**. You’ll move fluidly between engineering, sales, demos, customers, and strategy. You will work directly with me to break into, sell into, and expand within **high-growth large manufacturers**. We already partner with companies like NVIDIA, Ford, Toyota, Tesla, and SpaceX—and we want to systematically win the next generation of category-defining manufacturers. In this role, you will: * Identify and prioritize **high-growth large manufacturers** and design account strategies to win them * Break down how these organizations actually make decisions—economic buyers, technical gatekeepers, risk factors, and internal incentives * Craft **customer-specific technical and business narratives** that resonate at the executive and plant level * Become deeply expert in our **AI smart cameras and inspection systems**, owning the hardest demos and proof points * Build compelling **presentations, validation reports, case studies, and trade-show demos** that establish immediate credibility * Turn customer learnings into repeatable sales motion, product feedback, and internal enablement * Drive **technical training, AI fluency, and sales enablement** as we scale This role sits at the intersection of **technical depth, customer trust, and revenue strategy**—with direct exposure to how major industrial deals are actually won. --- ### How I’d describe the person I’m looking for I’m not looking for a checklist résumé—I’m looking for someone who compounds fast. You likely: * Have a **technical background** (Engineering, EE, CS, ME, or equivalent depth) * Are comfortable going deep technically _and_ communicating clearly * Have worked in a **cross-functional role** (PM-type, consulting, engineer → sales-side, or similar) * Learn quickly, take initiative, and fill in gaps without being asked * Are AI-fluent and naturally agentic in how you work * Thrive in ambiguity and high-ownership environments * Want proximity to real decisions, real customers, and real outcomes A strong academic background or top university experience helps—but what matters more is how you think and how fast you execute. --- ### Why this role is special * This is **N=1**. There is no prior version of this role. * You’ll see how **massive enterprise deals are actually won** * You’ll learn how to turn **raw technical capability into revenue** * You’ll help shape the company during its **hypergrowth inflection point** * I will personally invest time teaching you everything I know about building at this scale If you want a safe, narrow role with fixed boundaries, this isn’t it.\ If you want to help build a generational industrial AI company—and learn faster than almost anywhere else—let’s talk.
