About the Role
Safari AI already works with UK-headquartered enterprises such as Merlin Entertainments, and demand from operators across the UK and Ireland in attractions, live venues, retail and hospitality is growing.

You will be the first Safari AI leader on the ground in the region and will own its growth end to end: winning new enterprise clients, making existing clients successful, building partnerships, and hiring the local team. This role is based in London, reports to and works directly with the Miami-based CEO, and works closely with the Go To Market and Engineering teams in Miami and Vancouver. We welcome country managers, general managers, senior enterprise sales and client success leaders, and top-tier management and transformation consultants to apply.

Client success: be the senior point of contact for UK & Ireland clients, lead QBR's, prove ROI and grow accounts
Partnerships: build relationships with camera, systems integrator, technology and channel partners in the region
Team building: hire, lead and develop the local team (sales, client success and deployment) as the region grows
Operations: coordinate deployments with Engineering, and work with Finance and legal advisors on local contracting, data protection (UK GDPR / EU GDPR) and procurement requirements
