🚀 Our Story

Partly is building the infrastructure for anyone to repair anything. We believe everything built should be repairable, and we're building frontier AI to put repair knowledge to work, starting with the $2tn automotive market.

Our model, Interpreter, is the first AI purpose-built to understand repair. Trained on 1M+ car models and 1B+ parts, it reads a repair job the way an estimator does, resolves damage into the exact purchasable part, and shows its reasoning with a confidence score. On real production jobs, an estimator working with Interpreter reaches 98.8% parts-list accuracy, against 92.1% with today's tools. It powers PartlyRepair, used by collision shops, workshops and suppliers to take the admin off the job; PartlyLabs, the agentic infrastructure enterprises use to deploy Interpreter across their own workflows; and a developer API.

Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we've raised a $50m Series B led by DST Global (Anthropic, Airbnb, Meta, TikTok, Spotify), with Blackbird Ventures, WNDR, Activant Capital, Icehouse Ventures, Square Peg, Airtree and Ecliptic Venture Capital. Hear it from the team: Why Partly exists and AI at Partly.

🖍️ This role

As Partly's Enterprise Account Executive, you'll find, win and close multi-site operators (MSOs) for PartlyLabs: the national and regional collision and mechanical chains running hundreds of US shops.

This is an enterprise new-business role. You'll take each MSO from first meeting to signed pilot, and then to a network-wide agreement.

Why join now: Partly closed a $50M Series B led by DST Global and is scaling fast across the US, UK and Australasia, in a $1.9 trillion industry that modern software has barely touched. You'd be early, close to the founders, and given real ownership from day one.

You'll be selling something new into a market that runs on long-standing habits. If you like complex deals with many stakeholders, and you understand how parts move through a collision shop, this role is built for you.

💻 What will you do

Build and work the MSO pipeline. Map the US MSO market, prioritise accounts by volume and readiness, and open doors at operations, procurement and executive level.
Run complex enterprise deals. Manage multi-stakeholder cycles across operations, estimating, parts, IT and finance, from discovery through commercial negotiation.
Design pilots that convert. Scope pilots with Product and Solutions, agree measurable success criteria with the customer, and use the results to win the rollout.
Hand over cleanly. Partner with our MSO Account Manager so every signed customer reaches weekly active use across its sites.
Feed the playbook. Bring back what you learn on pricing, objections, integrations and buying process, so the next MSO deal moves faster.

🥷 Your skills

Closed enterprise deals in B2B software, data or platform sales, with deal cycles you can walk through in detail.
US automotive aftermarket or collision experience. You understand how MSOs buy, how shops source parts, and who signs off.
Multi-stakeholder selling. You've built consensus across operations, procurement, IT and the C-suite.
Pipeline discipline. You forecast honestly and keep your CRM accurate without being chased.
Builder mindset. You're excited by an early market with no playbook yet.
(Bonus) Sold into MSOs or dealer groups for an estimating, parts, DMS or shop management platform.
(Bonus) Early sales hire at a high-growth company.

Please note: if you don't have all the skills or experience listed above but believe you could be outstanding in this role, please still consider applying. Many people count themselves out. We'd love the chance to learn more about you and why you're exceptional.

Partly raises $71M to build AI that solves automotive parts matching challenges

Partly, a New Zealand-founded automotive AI company, has raised US$50 million in Series B funding led by DST Global Partners, valuing the company at US$500 million. The company has developed Interpreter, a multimodal AI model specifically trained to identify correct replacement parts for damaged vehicles. Unlike general-purpose AI models, Interpreter is built on five years of research using data from millions of vehicles and billions of parts. The company reports estimators using Interpreter achieved 98.8% parts-list accuracy compared with 92.1% using existing tools. The platform accepts text, photographs, video, and voice inputs to determine exact parts needed, accounting for variables such as trim level, production date, and regional differences. Partly is expanding into the United States, with headquarters in Austin, Texas, targeting America's US$100 billion collision-repair market. The company was founded in 2020 by Levi Fawcett, a former Rocket Lab engineer.

Partly raises $50M to double headcount and expand AI hiring in Australia

Partly has raised $50 million in Series B funding led by DST Global Partners, valuing the automotive software company at $500 million. Existing investor Blackbird Ventures also participated. The funding will support hiring in Australia, where Partly is adding software engineering, machine learning, and data science roles. The recruitment drive is part of an expansion expected to more than double global headcount this year. Founded in 2020, Partly develops an AI model called Interpreter for the automotive repair supply chain. The company has trained the model over five years using original equipment manufacturer catalogue data, repair data, and transaction data from New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and the Nordics. Partly targets a fragmented vehicle repair market where inaccurate parts data and manual procurement processes increase costs and delay repairs.

AI startup Partly moves global HQ to Austin with $50M raise, plans 400 hires by 2028

Partly, an AI automotive startup, has relocated its global headquarters from the United Kingdom to Austin and plans to more than double its workforce over the next two years. The move was funded by a $50 million raise backed by Yuri Milner's DST Global Partners, pushing Partly's valuation to $500 million. Founded in 2020, Partly has built an AI model to automate workflows for vehicle repairs, serving automakers like Toyota and Hyundai. CEO Levi Fawcett cited Austin's talent pool and affordability compared to the Bay Area as key factors in the decision. The company currently employs about 50 people in Austin and expects 200 workers by end of 2027, doubling that number the following year. Partly will move into permanent downtown offices later this year.
