Founding Chief Growth Officer Equity Based | Early Stage | B2B AI

emotivae is an early stage AI company building technology that helps organizations understand human behavior in real time.

Our proprietary Emotion AI analyzes subtle behavioral signals and micro expressions to identify patterns of emotional escalation before they become critical, creating new possibilities across security, transportation, healthcare, retail, smart environments, and other high stakes environments.

We have built the technology. Now we are looking for the commercial leader who can help us turn it into a scalable business.

The Role

We are looking for a Founding Chief Growth Officer to join emotivae at a pivotal stage of the company. This is not a traditional corporate CGO position. We need a hands on, entrepreneurial GTM leader who can work directly with the founders to define our commercial strategy, open doors, build strategic partnerships, create pipeline, validate markets, and ultimately build the growth engine of the company.

You will have significant influence over how emotivae goes to market and where we go next.

What You'll Own

• Build and execute our go to market strategy • Identify and prioritize the highest potential markets and use cases • Develop enterprise pipeline from the ground up • Lead strategic partnerships and business development • Build relationships with enterprise customers, technology partners, system integrators, and channel partners • Refine positioning, pricing, commercial models, and sales strategy • Turn early opportunities into repeatable revenue • Establish the processes, metrics, and infrastructure required to scale • Work directly with the CEO and founding team on company strategy • Help build the future commercial organization as the company grows

Who We're Looking For

You may currently be a CGO, CRO, VP of Growth, VP of GTM, Head of Business Development, startup founder, or senior commercial leader. The title matters less than what you've actually built. Ideally, you have: • 10+ years of experience across GTM, enterprise sales, business development, partnerships, or revenue leadership • Experience building or scaling an early stage B2B technology company • A strong understanding of founder led sales and zero to one GTM • A track record of opening enterprise accounts and creating strategic partnerships • Experience selling complex or emerging technology • Strong relationships within relevant U.S. enterprise ecosystems • The ability to move comfortably between strategy and execution • A builder mentality and comfort operating with ambiguity Experience in AI, enterprise SaaS, computer vision, physical security, video analytics, aviation, transportation, smart buildings, healthcare technology, or adjacent industries is highly valuable. Previous founder or early stage startup experience is a major plus. Important: This is currently an equity based opportunity. At this stage, the role does not include a traditional executive salary. We are looking for someone who understands early stage company building and is genuinely interested in joining for meaningful equity and long term upside.

As the company reaches its next financing and revenue milestones, the compensation structure is expected to evolve.

Please apply only if an equity based opportunity at this stage is something you are open to considering.

Why Join Now

This is an opportunity to join early enough to have real impact. You won't inherit a mature sales organization or execute someone else's playbook. You will help create the playbook. For the right person, this is less about taking another executive job and more about building a company.
