About The Position

Alison.ai is hiring a Head of North America to build and lead its North American business from the ground up. This founder-mode commercial leadership role owns the market end to end, including pipeline, revenue, partnerships, hiring, and market presence. The role is fully remote at this stage and includes travel to build and grow Alison.ai’s North American presence.

Alison.ai’s creative analytics platform connects creative decisions made by brands and agencies directly to media performance, return on ad spend (ROAS), and auction outcomes. The company works with global brands, agency groups, and platform partners across EMEA, APAC, and North America.

The Head of North America will develop the regional commercial strategy and revenue plan, personally run the full sales cycle, establish operational foundations, hire a team, and represent the company with clients, partners, and at industry events. The role will collaborate closely with global teams in Tel Aviv and London on product, marketing, and delivery.

Compensation includes a competitive base salary benchmarked to the North American market, commission tied directly to North American revenue delivered and paid on a defined cycle, and ESOP participation. ESOP vesting is four years, with a one-year cliff followed by quarterly vesting. Vesting begins on the employment start date.

• Meaningful experience in at least one of the following: ad sales, partnerships, or commercial leadership at a major advertising platform; senior commercial or growth leadership at a major holding company or mid-sized agency; or a senior commercial role at an adtech, martech, or creative technology vendor selling to agencies and brands.
• A current, active network across North American agencies and advertisers that can be engaged from the first week.
• A track record of closing complex B2B deals with six- and seven-figure annual contract values.
• Comfort personally owning full sales cycles rather than only managing a team that handles them.

• Existing executive relationships across major holding companies and major brand advertisers.
• Familiarity with creative intelligence, ad measurement, creative production, or platform algorithm dynamics.
