Account Executive
Ready to close deals that reshape telecom? Join Telness Tech as an Account Executive — own the full sales cycle, hit big ARR targets, and grow fast. Let's talk.
Join us!
Telness Tech is on a mission to simplify and digitize the telecom industry. Our platform powers next-generation mobile providers, from traditional MVNOs to eSIM challengers and non-telecom players looking to embed connectivity into their offerings. With our roots in Stockholm (Sweden) and our sights on a global scale, we're building the future of telecom—fast, flexible, and customer-first.
As we accelerate our growth, we're looking for a commercially sharp Account Executive to drive revenue and own the full sales cycle — from qualified opportunity all the way to signed contract.
Your Mission
The Account Executive is responsible for driving revenue growth by converting qualified opportunities into signed contracts. You will own the full sales cycle — from discovery and qualification through negotiation and close — while maintaining disciplined forecasting and strategic account management.
This isn't a standard AE role. As a fast-growing scale-up, we operate in a complex, fast-moving environment where no deal is the same. You'll engage directly with senior decision-makers, lead value-driven commercial discussions, and work cross-functionally with Product, Pre-Sales, and Customer Success to land and expand strategic accounts.
What You Will Do
You will report to the CRO and work cross-functionally across the business. Your day-to-day would look like:
Revenue Ownership
Own and hit/exceed annual sales targets within your assigned territory or segment
Manage sales cycles from qualified opportunity to contract signature
Build and execute account strategies for target customers
Maintain high win-rate discipline and margin awareness
Sales Execution
Conduct structured discovery and qualification (e.g., MEDDPICC or similar)
Engage senior decision-makers and economic buyers
Lead product presentations, value workshops, and commercial discussions
Build compelling business cases aligned to customer objectives
Manage negotiation and contract alignment
Pipeline & Forecast Management
Develop, maintain, and report sales pipeline using Salesforce
Ensure accurate stage progression and forecast reliability
Participate in weekly deal reviews and risk mitigation discussions
Ensure pipeline coverage ratio supports ARR targets
Collaboration
Work closely with Business Development to ensure high-quality opportunity handover
Partner with Pre-Sales, Product, and Customer Success to align on solution delivery
Provide structured market feedback to product and leadership
Represent the company at industry events and executive meetings
What You Bring To The Table
A bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field (preferred)
5+ years in SaaS, OSS/BSS, or complex software sales
Proven track record of closing high-value B2B deals
Experience selling into telecom, digital brands, fintech, IoT, or enterprise technology sectors
Experience managing multi-stakeholder sales processes
Strong sales and negotiation skills — able to structure and close complex deals
Strategic selling capabilities with strong qualification and value-based selling
Tech-savvy: solid understanding of SaaS, cloud solutions, CRM tools, and digital platforms
Strong executive presence and communication skills
Data-driven approach with experience using sales analytics, KPIs, and forecasting tools
Resilient in long, complex sales cycles — commercially mature and composed under pressure
A "prestigeless" personality — no one is above anyone or any task

About Telness Tech
Born from frustration
Telness Tech was born out of frustration. Frustration with the needless complexity that had been bogging down the entire telecom industry. We deemed it unacceptable. Telecom has to be as easy as streaming your favorite song on Spotify.
When former Telenor executive Martina Klingvall founded the Swedish MVNO Telness in 2016, the goal was simple — to raise the standards of an industry that had stopped innovating.
Building Europe’s highest-rated operator
We built a fully digital operator from the ground up, automating everything from onboarding to billing. It made Telness the highest-rated mobile operator in Europe, a title we still hold today (4.8 on Trustpilot).
Our customers loved us because they didn’t have to deal with us — it just worked. Behind that simplicity were thousands of user journeys, automated processes, and insights, all distilled into one AI-first tech platform.
From telco to tech company
Then we realized — let’s not keep this to ourselves. We carved out the technology to help other operators worldwide, and that platform became Seamless OS.
We left telecom and became a tech company — powered by some of the world’s best engineers with experience in both telecom and technology, from companies such as Klarna, Tink and Spotify. That’s when Telness Tech was born.
Since launching Telness Tech we have acquired several customers across Europe and the US, all of them running on Seamless OS.
The company is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden with employees working all over Europe and the US.
