Enterprise CPaaS & AI Solutions Account Exec

Telnyx; New York (NY); On-site; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Telnyx is hiring Enterprise Account Executives to sell our private global IP network and stack across US East. You will own a named list of 30–40 accounts and work in a pod with a Forward Deployed Engineer to turn them into production Telnyx customers.

This is a full-cycle role—one AE, one FDE, with executive relationship management through deployment. You win together, delivering production outcomes rather than just a SKU sale.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of enterprise sales experience selling CPaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, telecom, or AI/ML platforms.
• Consistent overachievement against a seven-figure quota, with individual deals over $1M.
• Credible with executive and technical buyers alike — you hold your own in the boardroom and in the architecture review.
• Hunter mentality. You build your own pipeline and you like doing it.
• 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.
• Disciplined with a methodology (MEDDPICC, Challenger, SPIN) and with the stack (Salesforce, Outreach, Gong).
• Excellent written and verbal communication. You listen before you pitch.
• Willing to travel across US East to meet customers in person.

Responsibilities

• 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.
