The Role
We're looking for an Account Executive to drive new business in the Bay Area and beyond. You'll sell across our full product suite — voice, messaging, numbers, SIP trunking, and our rapidly growing Voice AI solutions that are helping companies build intelligent, human-like experiences. This is a consultative, technical, and high-impact role. You'll work closely with engineering-led buyers, demo real products, and close deals that actually matter.
Hybrid role out of our San Francisco office — we believe in IRL collaboration and you'll be a regular face at Bay Area tech events, meetups, and the community gatherings we host. Telnyx throws a lot of events. You should want to be there.
What You'll Do
- Hunt and close new business — enterprise and growth-stage companies building on communications infrastructure
- Run consultative sales cycles with technical stakeholders (product, engineering, ops)
- Demo our platform: programmable voice, SMS, SIP trunking, and Voice AI capabilities
- Partner with Sales Engineering to architect solutions that actually solve customer problems
- Build pipeline through outbound prospecting, inbound leads, and your own network
- Represent Telnyx at community events, AI meetups, demo days, and industry conferences
- Provide sharp forecasting and own your numbers
- Feed insights back to product — you're the voice of the market
What You Bring
- 3+ years of B2B SaaS or platform sales experience — bonus if it's technical/developer-focused
- You're a hunter — comfortable building pipeline from scratch, not just working inbound
- Strong technical curiosity — you can talk APIs, infrastructure, and integrations without breaking a sweat
- Exceptional communicator — clear, concise, zero fluff
- Comfortable selling to technical buyers and executives alike
- Based in SF or willing to be — this is a hybrid role and community presence matters
- Genuinely interested in communications technology and where AI is taking it
Bonus Points
- Telecom, CPaaS, AI, UCaaS, or CCaaS experience (Twilio, Vonage, Bandwidth, etc.)
- Sold into contact centers, CX, or developer platforms
- Existing relationships in the Bay Area tech ecosystem
- Experience with MEDDPICC, Challenger, or similar sales methodologies
- You've attended or spoken at local tech events, AI meetups, or developer conferences
Why Telnyx
- Real tech — we own our network and build our stack in-house
- Profitable & independent — no runway anxiety, no layoff cycles
- Voice AI momentum — one of our fastest-growing areas, and you'll be part of that wave
- Community-first — we host events, sponsor meetups, and show up where builders are
