About the Role
The AI Revenue Growth Manager will lead commercial development and revenue generation for Keywords AI Data Services across the UK and EMEA. This senior individual contributor role reports directly to the General Manager of Keywords AI Data Services and is mission-critical to the launch and scaling of Keywords’ newest service line. The role combines strategic market hunting, consultative solution selling, and trusted advisory relationship-building, translating Keywords’ proprietary data networks, specialist labour pools, and AI service capabilities into measurable client outcomes and a predictable, defensible revenue pipeline.

The target landscape includes frontier LLM labs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Mistral, Cohere), physical AI and robotics platforms (Wayve, Isomorphic Labs, NVIDIA, Figure, 1X, Skild AI), and adjacent enterprise AI buyers across UK and EMEA. You will identify, qualify, and convert new business opportunities with these named frontier AI labs, physical AI and robotics customers, and enterprise AI buyers, building and managing a robust pipeline aligned to ambitious revenue targets.

You will develop and execute the regional go-to-market strategy for Keywords AI Data Services, including market mapping, account prioritisation, ICP refinement, and proactive outbound prospecting through networking, research, referrals, and digital channels. The role requires leading consultative, solution-based sales engagements end-to-end: diagnosing client problems, positioning Keywords’ AI data services portfolio (data annotation, model evaluation, red-teaming, embodied AI data), and articulating quantifiable ROI to technical, commercial, and C-suite stakeholders.

You will own complex deal cycles from first contact through proposal, negotiation, contracting, and successful handover to delivery teams in Singapore, India, and across the global studio network. Building and nurturing long-term, trust-based relationships with clients, partners, and industry influencers is essential, positioning Keywords as a strategic advisor rather than a transactional vendor.

Additionally, you will develop client-centric proposals and commercial models that clearly demonstrate Keywords’ unique value proposition versus pure-play data labelling competitors and in-house alternatives. Providing structured market intelligence and competitive insight back into the AI Data Services leadership team to inform product, pricing, packaging, and positioning decisions is a key responsibility.

Accurate forecasting and disciplined CRM hygiene are required, with full ownership of pipeline integrity, conversion metrics, and quarterly revenue outcomes. Collaboration across delivery, technical leadership (Singapore-based), marketing, and operations teams ensures proposed solutions are feasible and engagements are structured for long-term account growth.

Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science or a related discipline; an MBA or relevant advanced certifications (sales methodologies, negotiation, AI/ML literacy) is advantageous.
- 8–12 years of progressive experience in enterprise sales, business development or strategic account management within a solutions-oriented B2B environment, with a demonstrable track record of consistently exceeding revenue targets.
- Direct experience selling into AI labs, hyperscalers, foundation model companies, robotics platforms or large technology buyers is strongly preferred, with an established network of decision-makers in at least one of these segments.
- Proven success in launching new service offerings, opening new market segments or building a regional book of business from a low base — comfort with ambiguity and white-space selling is essential.
- Working knowledge of the AI services landscape (data annotation, RLHF, evaluation, red-teaming, synthetic data, embodied AI data pipelines) and fluency with frontier model providers, agentic AI and the application of LLMs in enterprise contexts.

About you
- Strategic acumen combined with operational rigour: able to set a regional revenue agenda and personally execute against it, calmly and consistently in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
- Exceptional consultative selling and storytelling skills — translating technical AI service features into tangible business benefits and credible ROI for both technical and executive buyers.
- Master negotiator and relationship builder, skilled at finding win-win commercial structures, navigating procurement and closing mutually profitable deals with sophisticated counterparties.
- Deeply empathetic and intellectually curious: actively listens to client pain points, integrates their viewpoints into more effective solution design, and stays continuously updated on AI industry shifts and competitive moves.
- A builder’s mindset: resilient, accountable and self-motivated, energised by creating pipeline where there is none and building Keywords’ AI services franchise from the ground up.

Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced certifications in relevant fields advantageous.
