The role
Reporting to the Regional Sales Director, you will be responsible for driving Telnyx's expansion across the APAC region. As we scale rapidly from our ANZ foundation into Singapore and beyond, this is a high-impact opportunity to own a territory and shape how businesses across APAC adopt next-generation communications infrastructure.
Telnyx is a global leader in Voice AI and programmable telecom infrastructure — we provide the building blocks (SIP trunking, Voice API, SMS, networking, and AI-powered voice solutions) that companies use to embed real-time communications into their products. From AI-driven call centers to embedded phone systems in SaaS platforms, we're the infrastructure layer powering the future of voice.
Supported by our marketing and BDR teams, you will focus on identifying and closing new high-value customers, building long-term strategic relationships that drive sustained revenue growth. This role would suit an experienced sales professional who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and can operate independently in a remote-first setting.

• 3 years of selling experience in enterprise consumption-based software platforms.
• SaaS, CPaaS, or telecommunications industry experience.
• Proven track record of consistently exceeding quota.
