A fully remote-global FDE seat at a voice-AI leader — rare for a function usually chained to on-site enterprise work.

- Comp
- Undisclosed
- Stage
- Late-stage
A good fit if you're…
- Generalist builders who want end-to-end ownership of strategic accounts
- People who want a remote-global seat at a hot AI company
- Candidates who back themselves on output rather than pedigree
What they do
ElevenLabs is a leading voice-AI company — text-to-speech, voice cloning, and audio models used across media, gaming, and enterprise. The board describes it as an $11B, $781M-raised company, putting it firmly in the late-stage, well-capitalized tier.
What “forward deployed” means here
This is true forward-deployed work — you own end-to-end builds for the company's most strategic accounts — but run fully remote-global, which is unusual for a function normally tied to a customer's office. The paper bar is deliberately low (the board notes 'customers in student clubs count'); the real bar is high output and end-to-end ownership.
Comp & leveling
Comp isn't disclosed on the board, so this is a number to establish early in the process. Given the company's stage and valuation, expect a meaningful equity component alongside base — but confirm the cash floor, since remote-global roles sometimes localize pay.
Growth signals
A voice-AI leader at this valuation standing up a remote-global FDE seat signals both real enterprise demand and confidence that the deployment work can be done distributed. The low paper bar paired with a high real bar means the seat rewards demonstrated builders over credentialed ones.
