Enterprise Account Executive

Job description

At some point in the future, every business will answer their phone with voice AI. We are building the platform that lets them optimize these AI agents for performance. Phonely builds conversational voice AI agents for high-volume phone workflows. Our customers use us to qualify leads, book appointments, route calls, and resolve real customer conversations in production.

That means you'll have a direct line to the CEO, influence over how the sales org gets built, and a path to leadership that's measured in months, not years. We've won deals against every competitor in the space. We need someone who can take what's working and scale it.
