# Sales Manager - Company: [Lumaai]() - Location: Redwood City, CA - Remote: Yes - Team: Go-To-Market - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $275K – $350K - Posted: July 24, 2026 ## Job description You'll lead Luma's regional sales — owning strategic accounts yourself while hiring and coaching a team of Account Executives — and place our creative AI technology with the world's leading brands and agencies. This is a player-coach role. You'll both close deals and build the team, refining the regional playbook in a high-velocity, ambiguous environment rather than following a set one. It fits a deeply networked sales leader who still wants to sell, not just manage. If you want a pure management seat or an established playbook, this isn't it. **What You'll Own** * Own the full sales cycle for strategic accounts — prospecting, demos, and closing high-impact deals with leading brands and agencies. * Hire, mentor, and lead a team of 5+ Account Executives with day-to-day coaching and a culture of excellence. * Build and manage a robust pipeline of advertiser and agency accounts. * Translate Luma's creative AI tools into clear value and ROI for marketing, brand, and creative teams. * Partner with marketing, product, and customer success to refine the go-to-market motion and feed insight back to product. * Refine the foundational playbooks that grow the regional footprint. **First 90 Days** *One way the first 90 could unfold.* * **Days 1–30 — Immerse & Diagnose:** Learn the product and region, and start closing strategic accounts yourself. * **Days 30–60 — Ship & Validate:** Close early deals and begin building the team. * **Days 60–90 — Scale & Systemize:** Grow the AE team and refine the regional playbook. **What You Bring** * 8+ years of sales with a track record of exceeding quota, ideally selling creative/marketing tools, MarTech, or media. * 3+ years of recent sales management, hiring and leading sales professionals. * Deeply networked in the region's advertising, brand, and agency ecosystem, with an active Rolodex of decision-makers. * A player-coach who'll close deals today and scale a team, comfortable with ambiguity in early-stage growth. * Based in the region, or willing to relocate. **Nice to Have** * Experience at a high-growth generative AI, media, AdTech, or creative-technology startup (Runway, Pika, Jasper). * A deep passion for creative AI and a strong understanding of multimodal technology. * Experience navigating complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise cycles with creative directors and agency holdcos. *Note: this body covers Sales Manager - West Coast (LA/SF Bay Area) and Sales Manager - East Coast (New York) — localize the region and network language per posting.* *About Luma: Luma's mission is to build unified general intelligence that can generate, understand, and operate in the physical world. We believe multimodality is critical for intelligence — the next step beyond language models comes from vision. Luma is an equal opportunity employer.* ## Apply [Apply on Lumaai]() Canonical job page:
