What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Executive - US position at Skit (previously Vernacular.ai)?
About Skit:
Skit was founded with the vision to build infrastructure for the ‘Voice-first’ future. The experience that a company provides is as important as its products and services. Innovative enterprises today recognize the revenue creation potential of contact centers through improved customer experience, as opposed to the traditional view of them as cost centers. However, a large number of contact centers continue to run on outdated legacy systems and old technologies, leading to poor customer experience, agent dissatisfaction, and increasing operational costs.
Skit developed a Voice-AI powered call center automation platform designed to have human like conversations through over 10 million hours of training data. Our platform can respond in over 16 languages, covering 160 dialects, and replicating human-like conversations.
Since 2020, we’ve quadrupled our number of customers and revenue and our average order book has been growing at a CAGR 200-300% annually. This explosive growth has helped us secure $23M in Series B financing to rapidly scale to new markets.
Skit serves a variety of enterprise clients across diverse sectors such as Banking, Insurance, Food and Beverage, Consumer Durables, E-commerce, and Travel and Tourism. If you are excited by AI, machine learning, the future of customer experience, and unlocking new markets, we want to speak with you.
