Job Description

Your job is to own and expand relationships with OpenRouter's largest and most complex customers. This is a high-impact role focused on multi-stakeholder enterprise deals, long sales cycles, and strategic AI infrastructure conversations with technical, financial, and executive decision-makers.

Responsibilities

  • Prospect and generate leads by identifying and targeting enterprise-level prospects in industries such as tech, finance, healthcare, and e-commerce.
  • Build strategic relationships with C-level executives, CTOs, and AI decision-makers to understand their pain points and tailor OpenRouter solutions to meet their needs.
  • Drive sales cycles by managing the full sales process from initial outreach to contract negotiation and closing, including demos, proposals, and ROI analyses.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and customer success teams to ensure seamless implementation and customer satisfaction post-sale.
  • Achieve targets by meeting or exceeding quarterly and annual revenue quotas, with a focus on multi-year contracts and upsell opportunities.
  • Stay abreast of AI trends, competitive landscapes, and regulatory changes to inform sales strategies and provide feedback to the product team.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of B2B SaaS or platform sales experience, with a strong focus on enterprise accounts.
  • Proven track record closing six- and seven-figure enterprise deals.
  • Experience selling technical or infrastructure products (AI/ML platforms, developer tools, cloud, data, or APIs preferred).
  • Ability to sell to both technical buyers and executive decision-makers.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and helping customers define new categories or use cases.
  • Strong business acumen around pricing, contracts, and enterprise buying processes.
  • Highly self-directed, collaborative, and outcomes-oriented.

Nice to Have

  • Experience selling AI, ML, or developer-first products.
  • Familiarity with LLM ecosystems (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, open-source models).
  • Experience working with global or multi-region enterprise customers.
  • Prior startup or high-growth company experience.

Why OpenRouter

  • Work at the center of the AI infrastructure stack as enterprises define how they adopt LLMs.
  • Sell a product with clear, tangible ROI: cost efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and innovation velocity.
  • High ownership and visibility with direct impact on company growth.
  • Competitive compensation, including base salary, commission, and equity.
  • Fully remote team with a strong culture of autonomy and trust.
