About this role

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 pipeline, managing end-to-end deal cycles, and owning a book of business from the ground up. 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.

Must be familiar with BANT and MEDDPICC frameworks. ● Familiarity with sales tools such as Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Lusha, and CRM systems (preferably Salesforce). ● Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage C-level stakeholders. ● Self-starter with strong time management, resilience, and ownership mindset. ● Comfortable working in-office and aligned to the assigned regional hours. What’s in it for You ● Run your territory end-to-end — complete ownership to plan, execute, and grow your book of business. ● Sell products customers love — Freshworks solutions offer fast time-to-value, high adoption, and proven ROI. ● Collaborative ecosystem — a dedicated BDR and partner network to accelerate pipeline growth. ● Performance-driven rewards — competitive compensation and uncapped commissions. ● Transparent, empowering culture — where consistency, curiosity, and accountability are celebrated. ● Leadership visibility and career growth — your performance is recognized and your voice matters. At Freshworks, we have fostered an environment that enables everyone to find their true potential, purpose, and passion, welcoming colleagues of all backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnicities.
