Welcome to Pryon, a place for people who want to define the state of the art: real AI (oxymoron intended), developed by real pioneers, solving real problems of consequence. Our company was built by some of the most well-known experts in the field, whose DNA lives on in Alexa, Siri, Watson, and virtually every other AI product on the market. But the best part of the story is still to come: We’re creating a world-class culture fueled by intellectual curiosity and radical technology — to reduce the distance between knowledge and people.
We’re a team of AI, tech, and language experts whose DNA lives in Alexa, Siri, Watson, and virtually every human language technology product on the market. Now we’re building an industry-leading knowledge management platform. Our proprietary, cutting-edge natural language processing capabilities transform unstructured data into meaningful experiences that increase productivity with unmatched accuracy and speed.
Pryon is looking for a Corporate Sales Manager to lead our newly forming Corporate Sales team. In this role, you will lead two vital sales functions: Mid-Market Sales & Inside Sales. The role is a mix of sales leadership, corporate strategy, planning and enablement. The ideal candidate has a passion for hiring and developing successful sales teams, as well as setting them up for success in achieving their sales targets. Being successful in this role means maintaining an acute and constant focus on value selling – making the connection between our ground-breaking technology and solving for our clients’ business problems.
