Job description

About the role (Job Summary)

You'll be talking to founders. Early-stage, fast-moving, often pre-revenue. They've booked a meeting with us because they know billing is a problem they need to solve. Your job is to confirm that, show them exactly what they need to see, and close.

What you'll do (role and responsibilities)

• Running inbound discovery and closing calls with early-stage startup founders across the US and EMEA — companies with fewer than 10 employees, often pre-revenue or under $100K ARR.
• Qualifying prospects fast, identifying the right offer, and closing deals in one call wherever possible.
• Working multiple lead sources — inbound demo bookings, form applications, high-growth trial accounts, and warm handoffs — each with a different approach.
• Positioning Chargebee not as a product but as growth infrastructure — something founders set up once and grow into, not something that slows them down.
• Handling objections with clarity and confidence, not scripts — especially the tough ones around pricing, complexity, and why not just use the free plan.
• Managing a high volume of accounts without losing the personal touch that closes early-stage founders.

What you'll bring (required skills and experience)

• You have a good grasp of the product — you don't need to be an expert on every feature, but you understand what we solve and for whom
• You have 2-4 years of work experience
• Good problem solving skills — ability to simplify complex problems and provide solution to the customers
• Understand what a good customer conversation looks like
• You can run a focused, story-driven conversation — you sell the outcome, not the feature list
• You're comfortable making quick decisions — which offer to lead with, when to push, when to listen
• You write clearly and concisely — a lot of this motion runs on sharp emails that move deals forward without scheduling unnecessary calls
• You manage your time well independently — this is a high-volume role and things move fast
