[Hiring] VP, Strategic Sales @Deepgram

Role Description

Deepgram is expanding its enterprise go-to-market organization and is seeking a Vice President of Enterprise Sales to lead our Fortune 500 and strategic account business. This leader will own the strategy, execution, and growth of Deepgram’s largest and most strategic customer relationships — driving multi-million dollar ARR opportunities, executive engagement, and long-term expansion across complex enterprise environments.

This is a highly strategic, hands-on leadership role. You’ll partner directly with executive leadership, Product, Marketing, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, RevOps, and strategic partners to shape how Deepgram lands and expands within the world’s largest organizations. You’ll also lead and develop a team of senior Enterprise Account Executives while building the operational rigor, account strategy, and enterprise sales motion needed to consistently close 7- and 8-figure deals.

The ideal candidate is equal parts enterprise sales leader, operator, executive seller, and coach — someone who thrives in high-stakes, multi-stakeholder environments and can blend data-driven execution with strong executive relationship management.
