Profound is the marketing platform for the AI era. As people increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to decide what to buy, we give brands the intelligence to see how AI represents them and the Agents to act on it. Today, ~13% of the Fortune 500, plus companies like Ramp, Figma, Chime, Calendly, and DocuSign, use Profound to turn AI Search from a black box into a measurable growth channel.

Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures at a $1B valuation, we're a lean, fast-moving team across NYC, SF, Buenos Aires, and London, shipping at a relentless pace and defining a new category at the biggest shift in marketing in 25 years. If you want to do the best work of your career at the frontier of AI, come build it with us.

As our first Deal Desk hire, you won't be stepping into an existing machine - you'll be the one who builds it.

This is a foundational, high-ownership seat for someone who has done this before, thrives without a blueprint, and is ready to step into something bigger.

THE ROLE

You'll own the entire deal lifecycle that powers our revenue engine - partnering with Sales and RevOps to fine tune the systems, guardrails, and playbooks that let us scale without losing commercial discipline. You'll be the last line of defense before every deal goes out the door and the first call a rep makes when a deal gets complicated.

But this isn't just an execution role. Profound is an AI-native company, and we expect this function to be AI-native too. We're looking for someone who has already built AI solutions to automate meaningful parts of their work - not just someone who uses the tools, but someone who engineers with them. That mindset will define how you build this function.
