Value Consultant

Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.

Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.

As a Value Consultant at Profound, you will sit at the intersection of sales, product, and customer success, helping enterprise prospects and customers understand the value of Profound’s platform and how it can be tailored to their needs.

• Present findings and recommendations to senior executives, including CFO, CIO, COO, and business-unit leadership.

• Help sales teams overcome budget objections by connecting technology capabilities to business outcomes and financial impact.

• Support late-stage deal strategy by demonstrating economic differentiation versus competing approaches or maintaining the status quo.
