You’ll be on the front lines of digital transformation, partnering with technical leaders, product owners, and C-level decision makers at SaaS innovators, digital-native disruptors, and global enterprise giants. You’ll lead the sales cycle from discovery to close, supported by a dedicated SDR and Solution Engineer, in a high-velocity, high-reward environment.

- Build and maintain a healthy, self-managed sales pipeline using data-driven strategies and tools.
- Consistently meet and exceed quota expectations while forecasting accurately.
- Drive customer value through a consultative, strategic approach — guiding them through evolving communication needs.
- Represent Telnyx at industry events, webinars, and conferences to evangelize our platform and uncover new opportunities.

- Strong record of quota-crushing performance across a variety of sales motions (transactional, consultative, and enterprise).
- Demonstrated ability to sell across multiple segments (SMB to Enterprise) with both short- and long-cycle deals.
- Experience selling to technical audiences (developers, product teams, CTOs) and business decision makers (CIOs, CFOs, COOs).
- Solid understanding of modern sales frameworks (SPIN, GAP, Challenger, MEDDPICC).
- Hunter mentality with a passion for outbound, lead gen, and proactive relationship-building.
- Exceptional communication skills and executive presence — you inspire confidence and bring clarity to complex topics.
- Proven ability to educate customers on emerging technologies, especially AI-driven innovations in voice automation and speech intelligence.
Bonus Points
- Background in selling CPaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, or telco-grade infrastructure.
- Experience with AI-enabled voice technologies, virtual agents, conversational analytics, or speech-to-text NLP solutions.
- Previous success navigating Fortune 500 sales cycles including RFPs, security reviews, and C-level stakeholder alignment.
- Track record in building relationships within developer ecosystems or API-first platforms.
Why You’ll Love It Here
