To make communications more flexible, intelligent, and personal to help enterprises stay ahead.

Role

Who you are

  • Experience in Mid-Market technology sales, SaaS, Cloud, or API based communications, with a proven track record of success
  • Demonstrated success in prospecting, identifying new customers through cold calling, lead generation and networking
  • Strong relationship-building skills with executives across business, marketing, and technology teams
  • Experience collaborating effectively with PreSales Consultants
  • A proactive attitude, creativity, curiosity, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively across the business

Desirable

  • A solution-oriented sales approach that spans the full delivery lifecycle, with a focus on consistently growing and maintaining a robust new business pipeline that meets and exceeds targets
  • Experience in mobile messaging/voice, cloud services, or mobile technology
  • Experience working closely with pre-sales teams to design innovative CPaaS solutions, especially for clients looking to migrate their communication infrastructure to the cloud and integrate APIs into their customer experience flows

What the job involves

  • The API business unit focuses on API/CPaaS solutions which empower organizations with a customizable, omnichannel communications infrastructure, enabling them to connect with customers on their preferred channels throughout their journeys.
  • With our easy-to-use APIs, global platform, and expert support, customers can abstract the complexity of communications and engage with customers in ongoing conversations
  • This role is crucial for driving the growth and success of Vonage's API/CPaaS solutions, particularly within the Mid-Market segment.
  • As a Mid-Market Account Executive, you will play a pivotal role in expanding existing relationships with tech-savvy customers and cultivating new ones, focusing on high-growth digital and cloud software companies.
  • Given Vonage's position as a leader in cloud communications, your work will directly contribute to helping innovative companies integrate communications into their customer experiences, setting them apart in their respective industries
  • Drive opportunities through the entire sales cycle from pipeline generation through to close and post-sales / up-sell
  • Employ a value & solution oriented sales methodology with a focus on customer engagement, authentication & end-user communication use-cases
  • Build upon the growth & adoption of our communication & network APIs in the Mid-Market segment in the AMER region
  • Own cross functional opportunity management from Pre-Sales through to working with Customer Success
  • Drive a pipeline generation cadence to develop expansion opportunities and land new target accounts
  • Lead compelling presentations of Vonage’s CPaaS product and vision to a broad range of audiences from c-level executives to individual contributors leveraging Vonage’s value-based sales methodology
  • Provide timely and accurate forecasts and clear visibility on sales and revenue performance by actively handling your pipeline of opportunities on pre-committed revenue deals
  • Leverage and coordinate cross-functional internal teams to efficiently navigate complex sales cycles (incl. Sales Development, Pre-Sales, Legal, Engineering, Security, Marketing, Product and Customer Success)

Our take

According to Vonage, technology should make business communication easier, but it currently makes it more complicated due to the various communication platforms that users need to spend time learning how to use. Moreover, users often realise that the platform is not the right choice for them after wasting a lot of time understanding how to navigate it. Vonage aims to change this by providing enterprises with a flexible cloud communications platform that simplifies business communication.

Vonage offers a unified communications solution that is easy to understand and use every day. The platform integrates communication via voice, messaging, video, and data and gives clients the flexibility to choose from a wide range of tools and integrations or to create new ones using Vonage's APIs.

Following its acquisition by Ericsson - a multinational networking and telecommunications company - Vonage has been focused on expanding its presence in wireless enterprises and broadening its global offerings. Vonage won the 2022 FinTech Award for Outstanding Cloud Communications Solutions in recognition of its growth and continued dedication to the development of new technologies.
