Full Description

At Luma, we’re building multimodal AI to expand human imagination and capabilities. We believe the next leap in AI won’t come from language alone, but from models that can see, understand, create, and interact with the world visually.

Dream Machine is just the beginning. We’re creating an intelligent creative partner that helps people express what’s in their mind’s eye without needing the perfectwords. Think: generative AI that’s not just helpful, but beautifully intuitive and deeply visual.

The Role

We need our first Enterprise Account Executive, a self-starter who spots decision-makers across industries, spins up proofs of concept, closes deals, and deepens relationships to grow revenue. You will steer our expansion into advertising by speaking the language of agencies, programmatic platforms, DSPs, and brand marketers while weaving Luma AI into their day-to-day workflows. In short, you identify, engage, and win the deals that carry Luma’s creative tech to the center of every campaign.
