• 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.

• Familiarity with technical products and solution selling in API- or developer-led environments.
• Strong forecasting and sales operations discipline.
• Highly collaborative, data-driven, and committed to coaching and growth.
• BA/BS degree or equivalent professional experience.
