$165,000 - $185,000

At ASAPP, we are on a mission to build transformative machine learning-powered products that push artificial intelligence and customer experience boundaries. We focus on solving complex, data-rich problems — the kind where there are substantial systemic inefficiencies and where a real solution will have a significant economic impact. Our Customer Experience Performance platform uses multiple forms of AI (machine learning, NLP, Computer Vision, etc.)  across both voice and digital engagement channels to augment and automate human work, radically increasing productivity and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of customer experience teams.

The Strategic Account Director is an individual contributor role that will be responsible for managing our growing business across a national territory but will have the opportunity to work on various initiatives.

We are seeking an experienced, innovative sales professional to push the boundaries of AI and CX performance. Engage in growing existing customers and bringing in new logos.

We encourage applicants from all locations near a major domestic airport in the U.S. to apply.
