The Role
n
nWe're building a local Enterprise Sales Pod in Sydney - one AE and one Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), working together to build a Telnyx enterprise business across Australia and New Zealand. This is not a remote overlay on an existing territory. You will own a named-account list of ***** enterprise accounts across ANZ, and your job is to turn those accounts into production Telnyx customers.n
nYou'll work side-by-side with a dedicated FDE - not a demo resource, but a technical partner who designs architectures, builds POCs, and gets the first workload live. You win together. No throw-over-the-wall.n
nThis is a founding role. You'll help define how Telnyx sells into enterprise accounts in Australia and New Zealand, set the playbook, and build the references that the next wave of hires will follow.n
The Pod Model
n
Enterprise AE
- owns the named-account list,



builds executive relationships, gets in the room, owns commercial qualification and close, expands the account. n
Forward Deployed Engineer
- owns technical discovery, designs the architecture, builds the POC when gated, gets the first workload live, removes blockers and finds the next workload.n
nWe sell the workload, not the SKU. Customers buy a production outcome - an AI contact center, a SOC/NOC agent, global communications, connected mobility, or enterprise inference - that runs on Telnyx primitives (voice, messaging, numbers, wireless, Voice AI, inference, agents, connectivity). You lead with the outcome conversation, not a product menu.n
What You'll Do
n
n• Own a territory of ***** named enterprise accounts across Australia and New Zealand, narrowing to 10 Tier 1 accounts worth $1M+ in annual potentialn

n• Articulate Telnyx's differentiated value (private network, carrier-grade reliability, AI-native capabilities) and navigate objections against competitors like Twilio and Vonagen
n• Agree the commercial destination before any custom work begins - no free discovery or free developmentn
n• Maintain disciplined POC management: every POC has a named executive sponsor, written success criteria,



production pricing discussed, a decision date, and a signed commercial document. POCs end in production or they endn
n• Expand the account - one workload becomes three, one $500K customer becomes a $2M customern
n• Build local references and case studies across the ANZ marketn
n• Provide accurate pipeline reporting and forecasting - no surprisesn
