About the job

Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of

“solutions” that promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their

customers and employees. To help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or

break a business. Create better or worse experiences. Propel or throttle growth.

Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to get work done.

There’s another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works.

At Freshworks, we build uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional

customer and employee experiences. Our enterprise-grade solutions are powerful, yet

easy to use, and quick to deliver results. Our people-first approach to AI eliminates

friction, making employees more effective and organizations more productive. Over

72,000 companies, including Bridgestone, New Balance, Nucor, S&P Global, and Sony

Music, trust Freshworks’ customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX)

software to fuel customer loyalty and service efficiency. And, over 4,500 Freshworks

employees make this possible, all around the world.

Fresh vision. Real impact. Come build it with us.

We are seeking a highly motivated and customer-centric Account Executive to join our growing

inbound sales team. This is a critical role responsible for capitalizing on a steady stream of

marketing-qualified leads and converting interest into revenue. The ideal candidate will have a

proven track record in a high-velocity inbound SaaS sales environment, a deep understanding of the

sales lifecycle, and the ability to effectively articulate our value proposition to prospects in the given

region. You will be instrumental in driving revenue growth by mastering the art of converting inbound

interest into loyal customers.

This is a full-cycle outbound sales role - ideal for SaaS professionals who thrive on building

You will be responsible for driving new business opportunities across select regions, expanding

Freshworks’ footprint in high-growth regions.

You’ll be responsible for prospecting, developing, and closing new business opportunities

end-to-end — with the autonomy to own your territory and the support of a BDR and partner

network to help you win.
