business development manager

Chief Commercial Officer (International B2B & Partnerships for AI Startup)

About the Company:

Proprietary AI-powered 3D avatar technology that turns any 2D image into a realistic, animatable 3D avatar.

The Role:

We don’t need a manager of managers. We need a builder.

As our Chief Commercial Officer, you will own revenue from zero to scale, personally closing early deals, shaping our B2B offer, and building the commercial engine from the ground up.

What You’ll Own

1. Close the First USD 𝟏𝐌 – USD 2M in B2B Revenue

  • Personally source, pitch, and close deals with gaming studios, platforms, and enterprise clients.
  • Turn early traction into paid pilots, API contracts, and enterprise agreements.
  • Build a repeatable sales motion from scratch (outbound, inbound, partnerships).

2. Define B2B Product & Monetization

  • Work directly with the CEO and product team to shape what we sell and how we price it.
  • Package our tech into API/SDK offerings, enterprise solutions, and white-label products.

 

3. Build the Sales & Partnerships Engine

  • Create the playbook: ICP, messaging, outbound strategy, funnel metrics.
  • Hire and lead the first sales, BD, and partnerships team.
  • Implement CRM, pipeline management, and forecasting discipline.

 

4. Land Strategic Partnerships That Matter

  • Close high-impact deals with platforms, game engines, and ecosystem players.
  • Structure revenue-sharing, licensing, and integration partnerships.

 

5. Create Market Pull

  • Turn early customers into case studies and growth loops.
  • Represent the company in key industry conversations, events, and networks.
  • Help position us as the go-to infrastructure for AI avatars and digital identity.

You Might Be a Fit If

  • You’ve built revenue from near-zero to meaningful scale in a startup (not just optimized an existing machine).
  • You’re equally comfortable closing a deal yourself and designing the sales organization.
  • You have strong experience in B2B SaaS, APIs, gaming, AI, or platform businesses.
  • You know how to sell technical products to both business leaders and product/engineering teams.
  • You move fast, test aggressively, and don’t wait for perfect structure.
  • You’re commercially sharp and product-minded.

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

  • Closed initial anchor B2B deals (gaming, platforms, or enterprise).
  • Defined a clear B2B offering and pricing model.
  • Built a repeatable pipeline and sales motion.

Why Join Us

  • Build from zero – You’ll create the revenue engine, not inherit it.
  • Massive upside – Help define a new category at the intersection of AI, identity, and 3D.
  • Direct impact – Work side by side with the CEO and core team on company-defining decisions.
  • Compensation – Competitive salary with meaningful equity upside.

Please be informed that only shortlisted candidate will be notified.
