Telnyx

Enterprise Account Executive (East)

Posted Updated
Discussion

Description

  • We’re hiring Enterprise Account Executives to sell that stack across US East. You’ll own a named list of 30–40 accounts and work in a pod with a dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to turn them into production Telnyx customers
  • This is not a remote overlay on an existing territory. One AE, one FDE, full cycle — executive relationship through production deployment. You win together. Nothing gets thrown over the wall
  • You sell the workload, not the SKU. Enterprises buy a production outcome — an AI contact center, a SOC/NOC agent, global communications, connected mobility, enterprise inference — that runs on Telnyx primitives. You lead with the outcome, not the product menu
  • The Pod Model:
  • Enterprise AE — owns the named-account list, builds the executive relationships, gets in the room, runs commercial qualification and close, expands the account
  • Forward Deployed Engineer — owns technical discovery, designs the architecture, builds the proof of concept when one is required, gets the first workload live, clears blockers and finds the next workload
  • Own 30–40 named enterprise accounts in US East, narrowing to about 10 Tier 1 accounts, each worth $1M+ in annual potential
  • Write a workload thesis for every Tier 1: the specific production outcome, who owns it, what it’s worth, and what has to be true to win it
  • Get in the room with CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and the line-of-business owners who actually hold the budget
  • Run the full cycle alongside your FDE — prospect, qualify, design the commercial architecture, negotiate, close
  • Agree the commercial destination before any custom work begins. No free discovery, no free development
  • Hold the line on POC discipline: named executive sponsor, written success criteria, production pricing already discussed, a decision date, and a signed commercial document. POCs end in production or they end
  • Expand the account — one workload becomes three, one $500K customer becomes a $2M customer
  • Forecast accurately and keep the pipeline clean. No surprises

  • Consultative selling range: you can build the ROI case for a CFO and the technical case for a VP of Engineering, and hold your ground against Twilio and Vonage
  • Excellent written and verbal communication. You listen before you pitch
  • Willing to travel across US East to meet customers in person
  • Hunter mentality. You build your own pipeline and you like doing it
  • 5+ years of enterprise sales experience selling CPaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, telecom, or AI/ML platforms
  • Credible with executive and technical buyers alike — you hold your own in the boardroom and in the architecture review
  • Disciplined with a methodology (MEDDPICC, Challenger, SPIN) and with the stack (Salesforce, Outreach, Gong)
  • Fortune 500 or large-enterprise new-logo experience in the US East market
  • Complex sales cycles involving RFPs and competitive bake-offs, plus procurement, security, and legal review
  • Working knowledge of SIP trunking, number provisioning, carrier networks, or AI/ML infrastructure
  • Established relationships in the US East enterprise ecosystem — financial services (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock), media/tech (Bloomberg, NBCUniversal, Warner Bros Discovery, Verizon), healthcare (Pfizer, NewYork-Presbyterian, Northwell), or Boston/DC/Atlanta markets
