Summary

Own technical discovery, demos, and POCs for enterprise voice AI deals. Partner with AEs to close technical sales and support go-live for customers replacing IVR and contact center systems.

About the role

What You’ll Do

30 Day:

  • Learn Vapi’s product, customer use cases, sales motion, and common technical objections

  • Build customer-specific demos, help design POCs, and answer technical questions clearly and honestly

  • Lead the technical side of enterprise deals from first call through close and go-live

Who You Are

  • Experience with voice, telephony, or contact center infrastructure, such as SIP, Twilio, Genesys, Five9, or similar systems
  • Comfortable speaking with both engineers and executives, and adjust the level of detail without dumbing things down
  • Energized by technical sales: discovery, architecture, POCs, objection handling, and helping customers get live

  • Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Quarterly off-sites
  • Flexible time off
  • Catered meals, transportation, gym
