Senior Account Executive - Inside Sales

Senior Account Executive - Inside Sales

Company Description

Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of
“solutions” that promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their
customers and employees. To help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or
break a business. Create better or worse experiences. Propel or throttle growth.
Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to get work done.
There’s another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works.

At Freshworks, we build uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional
customer and employee experiences. Our enterprise-grade solutions are powerful, yet
easy to use, and quick to deliver results. Our people-first approach to AI eliminates
friction, making employees more effective and organizations more productive. Over
72,000 companies, including Bridgestone, New Balance, Nucor, S&P Global, and Sony
Music, trust Freshworks’ customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX)
software to fuel customer loyalty and service efficiency. And, over 4,500 Freshworks
employees make this possible, all around the world.
Fresh vision. Real impact. Come build it with us.
