We are now expanding nationally and internationally and seeking a highly driven, experienced, and entrepreneurial Mid-Level  Business Development Manager to drive outbound sales efforts, execute deals, for the Brave Search API, targeting small and mid-sized AI companies, LLM providers, and search-integrated platforms in the USA.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, marketing, legal) to ensure seamless deal execution and post-sale integration.
- Provide feedback to internal teams based on customer needs, market trends, and competitive insights.
- Consistently meet or exceed ambitious sales targets.

## Requirements

- 5+ years of experience in mid-size B2B sales or small business development, with a proven track record in outbound sales and closing complex API, SaaS, or data partnerships.
- Experience selling to AI, search, data, or developer-focused companies is strongly preferred.
- Deep familiarity with technical sales — able to confidently pitch APIs and data infrastructure to product and engineering stakeholders.
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills — persuasive, confident, and concise in writing and speaking.
- Comfort with CRM tools and modern sales engagement platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Outreach, Apollo).
- Strong belief in Brave’s mission and values, including user privacy and internet decentralization.

Bonus Points

- Experience working in and selling to early-stage or high-growth startup environments.
- Background or deep interest in search technology, LLMs, or AI infrastructure.

## About Brave

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Brave develops a privacy-first web browser and independent search engine that blocks ads and trackers by default, while offering a suite of tools including AI, VPN, crypto wallet, and an advertising platform.
- **Entity Type**: Private (funding details not publicly disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA (with an additional office in London, UK)
- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript, co-founder of Mozilla) and Brian Bondy (formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Internet software – privacy-focused browser, search engine, and advertising.
- **Target customers**: B2C (consumers seeking private browsing) and B2B (advertisers through Brave Ads, developers via the Brave Search API).
- **Mission**: “To build a user-first Web” – countering Big Tech’s data exploitation by giving users privacy, speed, and independence.

## Products & Services
- **Brave Browser**: A Chromium-based desktop and mobile browser that blocks invasive ads, trackers, cross-site cookies, fingerprinting, and more by default. Available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- **Brave Search**: An independent search engine powered by its own web index – one of only three global-scale indexes outside of Big Tech. Includes AI-powered answers (Summarizer) and a conversational interface (Ask Brave).
- **Brave Search API**: A publicly available API that provides real-time, independent search data for AI applications and other search tools. Used by Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, You.com, and others.
- **Brave Ads**: A private advertising network that offers high ROI for advertisers while respecting user privacy. Users can opt in to view ads and earn Basic Attention Token (BAT).
- **Brave Leo**: An AI assistant built directly into the browser. Can answer questions, summarize pages, generate content, translate, write code, and more. Supports multiple models including Anthropic’s Claude and Meta’s Llama.
- **Brave Wallet**: A browser-native, multi-chain crypto wallet for NFTs, DApps, and DeFi, with low fiat-to-crypto fees.
- **Brave VPN**: A secure, built-in VPN that hides IP address and masks location.
- **Brave Talk**: Browser-based encrypted video calling (peer-to-peer).
- **Brave Rewards / BAT**: Users earn Basic Attention Tokens for viewing privacy-respecting ads, and can use them to support content creators.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Over 100 million monthly active users (MAU) worldwide, 42 million daily active users (DAU), and 1.6+ billion queries per month as of early 2025.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Partnerships include AI companies like Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, and You.com (via Search API). Other partners are not detailed in public materials; press contacts available for inquiries.
- **Growth Signals**: Surpassed 100M MAU in 2025; Search API usage growing at an exponential rate; continuous expansion of language support (50+ for browser, 40+ for Search); new AI features (Leo, Summarizer) driving adoption.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Independent search index**: Brave Search is the only global-scale search engine not influenced by Google or Microsoft.
- **Privacy-by-default**: Unlike other browsers, Brave blocks ads, trackers, and fingerprinting out of the box – no extensions needed.
- **Integrated AI**: Leo offers a private, account-free AI assistant directly in the browser, with no data retention for model training.
- **Token ecosystem**: BAT and Brave Rewards create a unique economic model that directly compensates users and content creators.
- **Multi-product suite**: Browser, search, VPN, wallet, video calls – all in one app with a consistent privacy focus.

## Strategic Focus
- **Growing the Search API**: Making Brave’s independent index available to AI and search applications at competitive pricing.
- **Advancing AI capabilities**: Expanding Leo’s models and features (e.g., memory, temporary chats, language support) while maintaining privacy.
- **Increasing user base**: Continuing to grow beyond 100M MAU through word-of-mouth, partnerships, and default search settings.
- **Monetizing without compromising privacy**: Scaling Brave Ads and premium offerings (Brave Premium, VPN) while keeping core products free.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & mission**: Employees are driven by the mission to fix the internet’s privacy problems and take on Big Tech.
- **Remote & hybrid options**: Many roles are fully remote (US and global), with hybrid options for London and San Francisco offices. Some positions (e.g., Workplace Operations Coordinator in London) require in-office presence.
- **Engineering excellence**: Described as a “world-class engineering, security, and research team” – notable for working on cutting-edge browser internals, AI, and blockchain/crypto.
- **Diversity & inclusion**: Brave is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and does not discriminate.
- **Global team**: Employees work from around the world; offices in San Francisco and London.
- **Typical perks**: Not explicitly listed, but the company offers a modern tech stack, opportunities to work on open-source (Chromium), and the chance to shape the future of the web.
