Sample interview questionsHow have you closed a complex enterprise deal involving both technical and executive stakeholders?I begin by mapping the buying committee, their success measures, decision process, and potential risks. I tailor value messaging for each group, validate technical fit with subject-matter experts, maintain a mutual action plan, and use executive alignment to resolve cross-functional blockers before the commercial close.

How would you position Appen to a frontier AI lab evaluating training-data or model-evaluation partners?

I would first understand the lab's model roadmap, data-quality requirements, safety priorities, languages, modalities, and operational constraints. I would then connect Appen's human-generated data, global contributor network, and evaluation capabilities to measurable outcomes such as stronger benchmark performance, safer model behavior, scalable multilingual coverage, and reliable delivery.

Describe your approach to an enterprise RFP and commercial negotiation.

I qualify the opportunity early, clarify evaluation criteria, and build an internal response team with clear owners and deadlines. During negotiation, I protect value by anchoring terms to the customer's desired outcomes, identifying trade-offs across scope, service levels, pricing, and risk, and escalating legal or delivery issues promptly.

How do you build a predictable pipeline in a strategic-account territory?

I use account segmentation, stakeholder mapping, trigger-based research, and coordinated account-based outreach with marketing. I maintain disciplined CRM hygiene, define next steps and exit criteria for every opportunity, inspect conversion rates regularly, and balance near-term opportunities with longer-term executive relationship development.

How do you maintain growth after winning a large enterprise account?

I establish success metrics and governance at implementation, then run regular executive business reviews that connect delivered results to the customer's strategic AI priorities. By staying close to delivery teams and identifying new use cases, I can surface expansion opportunities while ensuring the account receives consistent value.

Appen’s Go to Market team sits at the center of the company’s growth strategy, partnering with the world’s most ambitious AI programs to deliver the data that makes models work. This role is responsible for acquiring net-new strategic logos and expanding high-value accounts across Big Tech, AI Labs, and Enterprise AI adopters. It’s a high-visibility commercial role operating across Global and Americas markets.

### Your Impact

You’ll own end-to-end enterprise sales cycles, from discovery and qualification through commercial negotiation and contract execution, working from well-developed territory and account plans.

You’ll stay multi-threaded across buying, technical, and operational stakeholders, positioning Appen’s portfolio as the partner of choice by mapping capabilities directly to each client’s AI program priorities. Expect to craft compelling business cases and proposals, and to run regular Executive Business Reviews to keep clients aligned on strategic goals and surface new partnership opportunities.

Pipeline comes from outbound account-based strategies run in partnership with Marketing, backed by strong CRM discipline and accurate, timely forecasts. You’ll also orchestrate internal teams across Client Partners, Delivery, Legal, and Finance to shape the solution and pricing behind each bid.

Success in this role looks like year-on-year growth in the accounts you own, and enough standing inside them to influence how those programs are scoped and resourced.

### What You Bring

* A proven track record of closing complex enterprise deals gained selling directly into frontier AI labs in the AI training data, RLHF, or model evaluation space.
* Exceptional communication skills with enough technical credibility to influence engineering and research stakeholders, and C-suite.
* The ability to lead complex RFP responses and negotiate MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, and other enterprise agreements.
* A creative approach to problem solving, and the competitive drive to keep moving opportunities forward.

### Why You’ll Love Working Here

At Appen, we foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence. We value curiosity, accountability, and a commitment to delivering the highest quality AI solutions for frontier models. You’ll work on complex challenges that shape the future of AI across industries and geographies, alongside talented people in a culture that values humility over ego. You’ll have the flexibility to deliver in a way that works for you and your team, supported by tools, resources, and development opportunities to continue to build your capability over time.
