Company Operating Rhythm

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

The Opportunity:

This is a foundational hire in the Deepgram for Restaurants business. You will own how the market understands who we are, what we build, and why we win. Operating at the intersection of product, sales, partnerships, and leadership, you’ll shape the narrative, establish credibility, and translate complex AI capabilities into clear market leverage.

The mission of the role is to make Deepgram for Restaurants the default solution to enterprise buyers and ecosystem partners, and to give our GTM team unfair leverage in every conversation.

• Events and ecosystem: Decide where and how we show up with customers and partners to create leverage

How You’ll Work:

It’s Important To Us That You Have

• Strong narrative judgment and taste; able to turn ambiguity into clear direction.

• High slope operator who learns fast, crosses role boundaries, and thrives in ambiguity; a playmaker with a strong bias toward doing what’s right and an intense need to win.

• Deeply curious and customer-driven; comfortable operating close to revenue and engaging directly in real customer conversations.
