At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You'll work directly with experienced Account Executives on live deals, build and own pipeline through outbound prospecting, develop your sales skills, and work toward promotion into a full-cycle Account Executive role within 6 months, compared with the traditional 1–2 year SDR-to-AE path.

  • Master Coram’s platform and learn how to sell value
  • Consistently outperform assigned goals and earn your promotion to a full-cycle Account Executive title
  • Ability to understand complex business environments and uncover customer issues, process problems, and translate need into business opportunities.

Skills and qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Associate's degree, or relevant working experience
  • We’re especially interested in college athletes and others with highly competitive backgrounds (military, performing arts, debate, high‑level competition, entrepreneurship, etc.) but this is not a requirement to apply
  • A strong work ethic with a focus on winning the right way
  • Motivation to win and a willingness to out‑prepare and out‑work your competition
  • Intrinsically-driven with the ability to takes initiative by default
  • Coachable and curious mindset with the ability to ask questions, take feedback, and apply it to your work
  • Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English
  • Ability to work in an onsite environment 5 days a week

What we offer:

  • Competitive compensation package which includes competitive compensation and variable compensation

  • Flexible paid time off and 10 paid holidays
  • Daily team breakfast and dinner, and regular team off-sites
  • The latest Apple products and unlimited tech stack (Claude, Nooks, Clay, Instantly, etc.)
  • 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance
  • 401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options
  • Early-stage equity in a rapidly growing company
