Account Executive (Creator & Talent)
Who We Are
Vermillio believes humanity should thrive in the era of AI. That's why we're building essential guardrails for the generative internet — starting with TraceID, our AI protection and licensing technology.
Vermillio is the leader in AI guardrails for protection and licensing. Vermillio brings together years of combined AI expertise, with its co-founders each building in AI for more than 15 years. The company is well funded and is already working with world-class IP from partners such as Sony and Talent Agency WME.
Our technology creates a secure ethical environment for all builders, makers and creators. Our attribution technology ensures proper credit and compensation reach rightful owners, confirming that AI developers have consent and access to high quality ingredients. TraceID puts everyone in control of what they own, what they build with, and what they create. With our platform TraceID, talent and IP holders can take advantage of the benefits of Generative AI in a safe and secure environment while understanding where and how their valuable data is being used.
The Role
Vermillio is looking for a driven, relationship-first sales professional to build and grow our Creator and Talent business.

Our ideal candidate has 5+ years of sales, agency or management experience in Hollywood, sports and/or talent creator economy, brings an existing network of managers and agencies, and is excited to sell a category-defining product.
