About LILT
AI is changing how the world communicates — and LILT is leading that transformation.
We're on a mission to
make the world's information accessible to everyone
, regardless of the language they speak. We use cutting-edge
AI, machine translation, and human-in-the-loop
expertise to translate content faster, more accurately, and more cost-effectively without compromising on brand, voice, or quality.
At LILT, we empower our teammates with leading tools, global collaboration, and growth opportunities to do their best work. Our company virtues—Work together, win together; Find a way or make one; Dance in the customer's shoes; Quicker than they expect; Quality is Job 1—guide everything we do. We are trusted by Intel Corporation, Canva, the United States Department of Defense, the United States Air Force, ASICS, and hundreds of global Enterprises. Backed by Sequoia, Intel Capital, and Redpoint, we’re building a category-defining company in a $50B+ global translation market being redefined by AI.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an Enterprise Account Development Representative (ADR) to help make that happen.
This role is ideal for someone early in their sales career (around 6–18 months of SDR experience) who is naturally competitive, curious, and comfortable using AI tools to work smarter. It’s a role for someone who enjoys figuring things out, experimenting, and improving their craft.
You’ll work closely with two experienced Enterprise Account Executives, partnering with them to break into strategic accounts and create meaningful opportunities.
Our philosophy is “strategic at scale.” That means thoughtful targeting, smart messaging, and creative outreach, not generic mass prospecting.
If you enjoy solving problems, testing new ideas and getting better every week, you’ll likely thrive here.
If you’re looking for a rigid playbook and constant direction, this probably isn’t the right fit.
What You’ll Be Doing
Opening doors into strategic accounts
Your focus will be connecting with senior leaders at global companies - the people responsible for Marketing, AI, digital experience, localization and global content. Your goal is simple: create conversations that matter and convert.
Running thoughtful, multi-channel outreach
Executives don’t respond to generic outreach anymore. You’ll combine phone, LinkedIn, email, and signal-based triggers to reach people in ways that actually get attention.
Operating “strategic at scale”
You’ll balance smart automation with real personalization. Using research, signals, and AI tools, you’ll make sure outreach is relevant and well-timed rather than just high volume.
Working closely with experienced AEs
You’ll partner directly with two senior Account Executives to research accounts, plan entry strategies, and craft messaging that resonates.
Constantly improving your approach
Outbound is part art, part science. You’ll test ideas, review results, and refine your strategy to improve engagement and meeting quality over time.
Coaching & Development
We take development seriously.
You’ll receive regular, hands-on coaching from your manager, including:
Weekly coaching sessions on outreach strategy
Reviews of messaging and calls
Account planning with your AEs
Ongoing feedback on what’s working and what can improve
A team who lead by example and coach each other daily
The goal is simple: help you become exceptional at enterprise prospecting. We invest heavily in helping our team grow and sharpen their skills.
The Tools You’ll Use
Modern outbound requires modern tools. You’ll work with a stack that includes:
Claude - AI-assisted research and message development
Amplemarket - signal-based outbound and orchestration
LinkedIn Sales Navigator - account mapping and prospect research
Trellus.ai - AI-powered call intelligence and coaching
We expect our team to be comfortable using AI to move faster and work smarter.
Who Tends to Do Well Here
This role works best for someone who is naturally driven and enjoys a challenge.
You’ll likely thrive here if you are:
Competitive by nature You enjoy performance environments and measuring yourself against clear goals.
Curious about how businesses work You like understanding industries, companies, and people.
Comfortable experimenting with AI tools You’re open to using new technology to improve how you work.
Self-directed You don’t need constant instructions — you take initiative and figure things out.
Resilient You expect rejection and keep moving forward anyway.
People with competitive sports backgrounds often do especially well in this role because of the discipline, persistence, and performance mindset it requires.
Requirements
6–18 months experience in a quota-carrying SDR or BDR role, ideally in SaaS
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Confidence engaging senior executives
Experience running multi-channel outreach (phone, email, LinkedIn)
Strong research skills and attention to detail
Authorization to work in the United States
What You’ll Get
Mentorship from experienced enterprise sellers You’ll work closely with AEs who have deep experience selling complex solutions.
Dedicated coaching and leadership support Regular feedback and guidance from your manager to help you improve quickly.
A modern sales environment We invest heavily in tools and AI that help our team operate at a high level.
Investment in your growth and development We care about building great sales professionals and will actively support your development.
Real impact The conversations you create directly contribute to the company’s growth.
This Role Is Probably a Good Fit If
You want to get really good at enterprise prospecting
You enjoy solving challenging outbound problems
You like experimenting with creative outreach
You want to work alongside experienced sellers and learn quickly
It’s probably not the right role if:
You prefer scripts and rigid playbooks
You’re uncomfortable with cold outreach
You want someone to tell you exactly what to do every day
If you’re competitive, curious, and excited about mastering enterprise outbound, we’d love to hear from you.
Our Story
Our founders, Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. While together at Google, they were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the company.The quality just wasn’t there. So they set out to build something better. LILT was born.
LILT has been a machine learning company since its founding in 2015. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting-edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models, human-in-the-loop systems, and now agentic AI.
With AI innovation accelerating and enterprise demand growing, the next phase of LILT’s journey is just beginning.
Our Tech
What sets our platform apart:
Brand-aware AI that learns your voice, tone, and terminology to ensure every translation is accurate and consistent
Agentic AI workflows that automate the entire translation process from content ingestion to quality review to publishing
100+ native integrations with systems like Adobe Experience Manager, Webflow, Salesforce, GitHub, and Google Drive to simplify content translation
Human-in-the-loop reviews via our global network of professional linguists, for high-impact content that requires expert review
