At Artisan, we're on a mission to create the most advanced human-like digital workers, called Artisans, and the software operating system for startups across verticals. We're starting with sales through our Artisan Sales platform and Ava, The Sales Rep Artisan.

Our first Artisan, Ava, is a BDR who automates the entire outbound sales process and can be set up with a 10-minute conversation. Ava creates the user's ICP, prospects with her database of over 270M contacts, does lead research, crafts & sends highly bespoke email sequences, and books meetings into sales reps' calendars.

We recently launched Artisan Labs, our research lab where we're pioneering the foundational technologies required to create human-like digital workers.

This is the next Industrial Revolution.

At Artisan, we're creating AI Employees, called Artisans, and software which is sleek, easy to use, and replaces the endless stack of point solutions. We're starting with outbound sales and our AI BDR, Ava. Our platform contains every tool needed for outbound sales - B2B data, AI email sequences, deliverability optimization tools and so much more.

We're growing very rapidly (closing $xM in new ARR each month). We recently raised a $12M seed round from top investors, and are looking for superstars to join us on our rocketship growth as we relentlessly work towards building a multi-billion dollar company 🦄

The Role

There are 3 big problems with today's software:

1. It’s Fragmented

The B2B SaaS stack is unexplainably fragmented in every vertical, and people are tired of it. They’re paying too much and are stuck endlessly context switching and doing manual data entry.

1. Humans Have To Manage It

Every day, millions of humans spend hours doing work which we can already automate with AI, and this is only going to get worse with time.

1. It’s Uninspiring

B2B SaaS is ugly, confusing and does not excite people.

As the General Manager of our second vertical, you drive the strategy, execution, and growth of a complete software ecosystem and new Artisan. This role requires a hands-on leader with an entrepreneurial mindset, ready to build and scale a team, oversee product development, and lead the go-to-market strategy. You will have full ownership of the new vertical's success, working closely with Artisan's leadership team to define its vision and bring it to life.
