We use AI as a sparring partner: to bounce ideas, bring new perspectives, support structure, and make our work more efficient. But the meaning, decisions, and interactions always come from people. * AI does not screen or decide on candidates. * There is no automated filtering, ranking, or decision-making in our recruitment process. Every application is reviewed by a person. * Hiring teams may use AI to support their work - for example, to structure notes, prepare interview questions, or organize their thinking. AI strengthens our work, but it does not define it.

Market Intelligence & Cross-Functional Contribution. * Develop a deep understanding of the competitive landscape — including positioning against alternative moderation and trust & safety solutions — and bring that intelligence into every sales engagement. * Feed prospect and market insights back to Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to sharpen go-to-market messaging, ICP definition, and roadmap prioritisation. * Collaborate with Marketing on demand generation activities, account-based campaigns, and event participation that support pipeline creation. * Contribute to the development of sales playbooks, proposal templates, and competitive battle cards as the function scales.
