Senior AI Data Licensing
Worldwide
We are looking for a highly experienced strategic partnerships consultant to help license a proprietary dataset to major AI companies. This is not a junior sales or appointment-setting role. We are looking for someone senior with existing relationships or credible access to decision-makers at leading AI labs, technology companies, data procurement teams, model training teams, or AI infrastructure companies. The opportunity involves licensing a large and growing dataset of real-world video, audio and transcript data in a structured professional context. The dataset includes thousands of unscripted human responses, with valuable signals around communication, language, speech, accents, reasoning and interpersonal presentation. Target buyers may include major AI companies, frontier model labs, speech AI companies, multimodal AI companies, data licensing firms and other organisations acquiring high-quality human data for model training, evaluation or research. WHAT YOU'LL DO: You will identify and approach relevant senior contacts, open commercial conversations, position the dataset, help structure licensing opportunities, and support negotiations through to close. We are looking for someone who can bring strategic judgement, credibility and access, not someone who needs a basic sales process handed to them. COMPENSATION: This is a commission-based contractor role. Commission is **5% of closed licensing revenue**. We are aiming for large enterprise licensing deals at **$1m+**. All commercial terms will be agreed before engagement. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR: You have direct experience in AI data licensing, strategic partnerships, enterprise technology sales, big tech partnerships, or selling datasets to AI companies. You may be a former AI partnerships executive, data licensing broker, ex-big tech BD operator, enterprise AI sales leader, or someone with direct access to relevant buyers. You should be able to show evidence of serious commercial relationships, previous large deals, or relevant introductions you can credibly make. TO APPLY: Please include: 1. Your relevant experience in AI, data licensing, enterprise technology sales or strategic partnerships. 2. Any examples of technology partnerships or enterprise deals you have helped sell or license. 3. The types of companies or buyers you have direct access to. 4. Your largest relevant deal size. 5. How you would approach licensing a proprietary dataset to major AI companies. 6. Whether you are comfortable with a commission-based structure tied to closed revenue. Please keep your application specific. Generic sales applications will not be considered.
