Job Description

Some of the world's biggest brands already run their advertising on our AI platform. We're moving fast, want to help us build the pipeline that gets us there?

Due to the location of our client and target customer base, this position requires you to be on Eastern Time Zone in the US. Being locally based is important to support effective prospecting, client engagement, and relationship building within the market.

At Pencil, we've built the operating system for AI-made advertising, the platform that aggregateas every major AI model, so creative and marketing teams go from brief to finished asset without stitching tools together themselves. Our mission is to make AI the default in advertising without replacing creative people and we're leading that shift today: running production at scale for some of the world's biggest brands like L'Oréal, Unilever, Bayer, Diageo, and more with the legal, security, and procurement rigor enterprise clients require.

You'll play a key role in bringing net-new clients to Pencil, working deals starting at $25K in annual contract value. This role and its process have already been validated and you'll be instrumental in driving a significant share of the opportunities we create.

At Pencil, we believe that great work comes from great people. We foster a culture of collaboration, creativity and continuous learning, where your ideas are valued and your growth is supported. With flexible working from home arrangements, a focus on innovation and a team that celebrates wins together, Pencil is a place where you can make a real impact in a booming industry.

About Pencil

Pencil is Marketing's AI Operating System.

We help enterprise brands aggregate AI models, enforce governance, and scale creative and media, safely.

From insight to production to distribution, we unify the entire marketing workflow in one platform.

Most enterprise teams are stuck in pilot purgatory, testing AI tools that never scale, stitching together fragmented workflows, and watching budgets disappear into non-working spend. We built Pencil to end that.

We aggregate the best AI models from every provider –OpenAI, Google, Adobe, and more– into a single governed platform. This is what we call the Open Garden: you're never locked into one vendor's roadmap. You get the best model for every use case, today and tomorrow.

Our platform unifies the entire marketing workflow –from insight and creative concept through production, governance, and media distribution. Enterprise teams can design, orchestrate, and scale creative systems that hold up in production, across markets and languages, without sacrificing brand control.

Act 1 is efficiency. Reduce creative production costs by up to 50%, automate localization, and free up budget buried in agency fees and manual process.

Act 2 is growth. Reinvest those savings into media performance –more variants, better ROAS, faster iteration.

We believe AI should be a tool for the humans behind great marketing, not a replacement for them. The right tool changes what's possible.

SOC2 certified. No-Train policy. IP indemnification. Built for the security, scale, and governance that global brands actually need.
