About You
Are you excited about bringing a disruptive API-first video streaming platform to mainstream adoption? Do you enjoy the early phase of go-to-market for a brand new product that's starting to get traction? Are you a self-motivated person who loves the flexibility of remote-first culture at a small startup? If you are a sales professional with strong go-to-market experience and a passion for video streaming, you should consider joining Livepeer Studio as our first sales representative.About Livepeer
Livepeer Studio is an API-first, open-source, cost-effective video streaming platform, built on top of the Livepeer network. It is high performance while disruptive in cost - saving up to 90% compared to other cloud providers. Livepeer Studio has been growing rapidly via a founder-led sales tactic in the past 8 months, with month-to-month demand increasing at 30% per month. We are looking to establish a lean and effective sales and marketing practice that will predictably drive leads and close deals.
As a blockchain-based protocol that has been live on Ethereum since 2018, the Livepeer network is one of the first web3 networks to deliver real-world value to an existing multi-billion dollar industry. We do this by using our open-source and blockchain coordinated network to enable a worldwide community of hardware operators to run infrastructure for video streaming. The Livepeer network and the Livepeer Studio service provide a unique video solution that helps communities and businesses innovate, adapt, and grow through the power of video.

As Livepeer Studio's sales representative, you will play a crucial role in driving adoption for a disruptive video streaming service. You will be working closely on a multi-disciplinary GTM team, and laser focused on driving leads and growing the early-stage pipeline leading to closing deals. Building on top of early product success, you will focus your time on finding more customers that look like our existing customers, and going after them directly while leverage marketing for air cover. You will also be covering inbound leads, qualifying them efficiently, and engaging with the ones that represent meaningful deal size. Your success will be measured by leads generated, pipeline size and deals closed.
This role is great for someone confident in their own abilities, and looking for an opportunity with room and flexibility to accelerate their career growth. You will take advantage of already growing demand and an established product, engineering, and marketing team. The work will be challenging because you will be the first person accountable to deliver sales numbers, but it will also be rewarding because there is plenty of low hanging fruit. As the demand grows, you will get a chance to lead a team if inclined.
