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; 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:

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:

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:

People with competitive sports backgrounds often do especially well in this role because of the discipline, persistence, and performance mindset it requires.

Requirements

What You’ll Get

This Role Is Probably a Good Fit If

It’s probably not the right role if:

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.
