Role

Who you are

Twilio is looking for an Inside Sales Representative who lives the Twilio Magic, is passionate about working with customers, and has experience in selling and closing in the cloud communications platform market
At least 1 year of sales experience in a technical SaaS/CPaaS space, with a record of top performance
An understanding (or interest to understand) the cloud computing/communications business model and excitement for selling to a technical audience while utilizing a solution-oriented approach to selling
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effortlessly make complex technical and financial details sound simple
Technical solutions selling experience and enjoys working with real customers-- listening to them and solving problems
High adaptability, with comfort trying new things and building within a rapid-paced environment

What the job involves

This position is needed to play a key role in further growing the business. As our new Digital Sales Representative, you will be responsible for net new customer acquisition, solution selling, and closing deals within our SMB accounts
Your primary focus will be on our email solution, SendGrid, but you will be exposed to all aspects of Twilio’s Communications BU
BE AN OWNER: Responsible for net new customer acquisition and driving new revenue for a specific territory while maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction
WEAR THE CUSTOMER’S SHOES: Work with customers across all verticals to understand their business and technical requirements. You will need to understand the capabilities of Twilio’s communications API platform so that, together, you can design a solution for their specific use case needs
EMPOWER OTHERS: Work diligently with cross-functional internal teams (Deal Strategy, Billing, Marketing, Product, Engineering, Support) to address customer requirements, advise on digital communication strategies, and help customers get started on the Twilio platform
DON'T SETTLE: Passionate about what you do, able to think outside of the box, and have world-class interpersonal and communication skills to make complex technical and financial details sound simple
RUTHLESSLY PRIORITIZE: Ability to balance competing priorities and manage multiple projects/deals at the same time
DRAW THE OWL: Passion and ability for thinking outside the box, building out new processes, and helping the team to build a playbook along the way

Our take

Traditionally, it has been difficult for businesses to establish communications systems in-house. Twilio was founded from frustration with this expensive and cumbersome process, providing easy-to-use APIs to let businesses send and receive telephone and text communications.

From these beginnings, the company has expanded through acquisitions and product development to provide a suite of services around market data and customer engagement. It is now a market leader in this space, and has developed a customer base of more than 150,000 businesses including enterprise brands such as Deliveroo, Duolingo and Toyota.

With that said, aggressive expansion and lack of maturity in some of its products has impacted the company's efficiency, and like many of its peers it has been forced to restructure heavily to remain competitive. Coming out of this restructuring, the company will focus on profitability, streamlining decision making and R&D to put itself in good stead for future success.
