Business Development Representative

Encord is a London-based startup building a comprehensive training data solution for computer vision AI applications. Our mission is to enable companies to unlock the power of AI while retaining 100% control of their data. In 2021 we raised $20M from top investors including CRV, Y Combinator Continuity, the Harvard Management Company, top industry executives, and other leading Bay Area investors.

Started by ex-computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we felt first hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building practical AI. AI feels to us like what the early days of computing or the internet must have felt like, where the potential of the technology is clear, but the tools and processes surrounding it are terrible. We have devised a unique methodology for automating the tasks related to preparing quality training data, in effect turning the training data problem into a data science problem.

This is a unique opportunity for a driven, multi-talented person to start as the first business development representative and have a massive impact on a hyper growth business. The person will work closely alongside the sales & growth team. The ideal candidate has great interpersonal skills, is dependable and willing to work hard, roll up their sleeves and ensure we hit our revenue growth targets. You will be in for a fun ride!
