- Cross-functional Partnership: Collaborate closely with Pre-Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and SDR teams to create an integrated revenue engine and exceptional customer experience.
- AI-Enhanced Solution Selling: Champion Telnyx’s AI-powered offerings, including Voice AI and real-time transcription, helping your team position these emerging solutions as part of comprehensive deals.
- Sales Performance Optimization: Use data to identify performance trends, remove blockers, and implement process improvements that scale.
- Act as a Telnyx evangelist in the field—at conferences, customer sessions, and virtual events—showcasing Telnyx’s differentiated platform.
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience building and leading successful B2B sales teams, ideally within high-growth or SaaS environments.
