    About this role

    Recraft is a graphic design research lab building state-of-the-art image generation models and tools for designers, illustrators, marketers, and developers.Founded in 2022 and based in London, we build for commercial design standards: full creative control, style consistency, and native vector outputs, an API for teams who want to integrate that capability directly into their workflows, plus mobile app for those who prefer not to be distracted from the process without a computer.Over 3 million creators across 190+ countries use Recraft.

    Our mission is to help everyone who works with visuals get the job done, without lowering the bar on design.If you want to help set that standard, we'd like to hear from you.Job DescriptionLarge enterprise companies need huge volumes of visual content — product photography, campaign creative, brand assets — produced fast enough to match their business and consistent enough to stay on-brand everywhere.

    Recraft V4 and V4.1 go beyond prompt accuracy to deliver that: production-ready vector and photorealistic output, with style consistency that holds without custom training. Retail and advertising companies are where we see the clearest opportunity to bring that into a business's own pipeline via our API — it's a classic enterprise B2B motion, and a part of our business we're actively building out.

    We're hiring an Account Executive to build that pipeline from scratch and close it end to end. This is one of our most urgent hires right now.
