Job Description
Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide!
Vonage Communications APIs
As an emerging leader in the $10B+ communications API market, we empower global brands to connect better with their customers, employees, and partners through transformative communications experiences. Vonage API solutions empower organisations to build their custom omnichannel communications structure, allowing them to reach and engage customers on their preferred schedule and channel, including voice, video, and messaging. Think of a rideshare service instantly connecting with customers, hospital staff conducting remote monitoring, customers verifying their identity before completing a purchase, AI virtual agents servicing customers around the clock, and much more.
Why this role matters
As a Key Account Manager for Network Powered Solutions, you’ll grow existing relationships and build new ones with large enterprises across high-priority verticals including digital finance, neobanking, rideshare, gaming, eCommerce, and online platforms. You will be at the forefront of one of the most exciting go-to-market opportunities in the industry: selling Vonage’s Network Powered Solutions (NwPS), a next-generation portfolio that exposes real-time 4G/5G carrier network capabilities directly to enterprise customers, backed by Ericsson’s global infrastructure.
Vonage, as part of Ericsson, is uniquely positioned to deliver programmable network intelligence that standalone API platforms fundamentally cannot replicate. We are looking for sales leaders who understand this differentiation, love working with innovators, and want to help shape a new market.

- Support implementation through ongoing customer contact, ensuring a smooth transition to Customer Success post-deployment
What you’ll bring
- Self-starter attitude, creativity and curiosity, with the focus and openness it takes to work both independently and collaboratively across a global, matrixed organisation

Experience we consider a plus
- Understanding of the GSMA Open Gateway/CAMARA API standards and the broader mobile network operator (MNO) ecosystem
- Deep engagement with target verticals such as neobanks, payments providers, rideshare, and gaming, where fraud prevention, secure authentication, and programmable connectivity represent the highest ROI opportunity
- Ability to articulate the Vonage NwPS value proposition, including Ericsson’s structural advantage via access to global carrier networks, to business, security, product, and technology stakeholders
- Contribution to and execution of a regional NwPS go-to-market plan, with a clear focus on pipeline development and revenue conversion
