- Partner with Sales and Marketing to deliver enablement, playbooks, joint account planning, and outbound plays
- Activate your own market research network to open doors with insights leaders and research buyers
- Manage opportunities through the full sales cycle: scoping, proposals, pricing, negotiation, and close - bringing in the Head of Market Research as the practitioner voice

- Represent Maze at industry events and in the broader conversation about how AI is changing research
- Turn early customer wins into stories, references, and repeatable demand

- A very strong network of market research buyers and practitioners you can activate from day one
- Deep market research domain expertise: qual and quant methodologies, study design, and how insights organizations buy and operate
- Ideally, some management and entrepreneurial experience—you've built a practice, launched an offering, or started something of your own
- AI-pilled: You understand how AI can improve every step of the research process, and you already use it daily to do more with less
- Builder: You thrive in zero-to-one environments—comfortable with ambiguity, quick to create structure, and energized by owning outcomes
- Consultative seller: You sell expertise, not just software—confident scoping complex research engagements and navigating enterprise buying processes
- Category evangelist: You have a point of view on where research is heading and can make buyers, analysts, and practitioners want to be part of it
- Cross-functional operator: You work fluidly with sales, marketing, research, and product teams, and know how to get things done without formal authority
Nice to have
- Experience launching a new service or product line inside a scaling company
