Account Executive

The Role

We're looking for experienced Account Executives to sell Telnyx's programmable communications, Voice AI, and private wireless solutions into Enterprises, SaaS leaders, and digital-native companies throughout the US market. This candidate will own sourcing and closing new business, working closely with SDR and Solutions Engineering counterparts. This is a unique opportunity to join a high-growth, infrastructure-first CPaaS company building on its own private global network — not reselling someone else's.

Responsibilities

• Sell programmable voice, messaging, Voice AI, wireless, and networking products to both technical and business audiences — from developer teams building on our APIs to C-suite stakeholders evaluating infrastructure partners.
  • Own your full sales cycle: prospect, qualify, demo, negotiate, and close.
  • Articulate Telnyx's differentiated value (private network, carrier-grade reliability, AI-native capabilities) and navigate objections against competitors like Twilio and Vonage.
  • Partner with Solutions Engineering to design custom communications and AI solutions that solve real business problems and create measurable ROI.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline reporting and forecasting — no surprises.
  • Help customers define success metrics and critical goals post-sale.
  • Be a trusted advisor, not just a vendor — help customers hit their business objectives with the right Telnyx solutions.
  • Execute on both quick-win transactional deals and complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise engagements.
  
  What we are looking for
• Proven success selling CPaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, telecom, or AI/ML platforms.
  • Track record closing both Enterprise and SMB deals, across the full spectrum of sales cycle complexity.
  • 2+ years direct experience in CPaaS, Voice AI, IoT, or similarly technical infrastructure sales.
  • Consistent history of exceeding quota — top performer mentality.
  • Strong consultative selling skills: can build a clear, compelling ROI story for both technical and business buyers.
  • Reputation as a trusted partner — customers come back to you, not just the product.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication. You listen before you pitch.
  • Hunter mentality — you build your own pipeline and thrive on outbound.
  • Familiarity with SPIN, GAP, Challenger, and MEDDPICC frameworks.
  • Comfortable with modern sales tools (Salesforce, Outreach, Gong, etc.).
  • BA/BS required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
  
  Bonus points for
• Fortune 500 or Telco new business sales experience.
  • Complex sales cycles including RFPs, PoCs, and competitive bake-offs.
  • C-Level selling experience — you can hold your own in the boardroom.
  • Understanding of SIP trunking, phone number provisioning, or carrier networks.
