Job Description

At Freshworks, we believe great employee experiences start with great people - and that includes you. We're growing fast, and we're looking for a Mid-Market Account Executive who's passionate about building relationships, solving meaningful problems, and shaping the future of work.

In this role, you'll partner with mid-sized businesses (500 - 1,000 employees) to help them enhance their employee experience (EX) with thoughtful, human-centered solutions. You'll guide customers through the buying journey with a consultative approach - connecting their needs with the tools that empower teams, streamline onboarding, and support IT service management.

This is more than just a sales role - it's about impact, collaboration, and growth.

What You'll Do:
  • Be a Trusted Advisor: Lead value-based conversations with mid-market customers to understand their needs around ITSM, onboarding, and employee engagement - and offer tailored solutions that drive real impact.
  • Drive Smart Growth: Build and manage a healthy pipeline through proactive prospecting, virtual selling, and meaningful discovery
  • Navigate with Empathy: Work closely with buying teams, creating trust and clarity throughout the decision-making process
  • Own the Deal: Manage and close mid-sized opportunities with confidence, from negotiation through final agreement
  • Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with our Marketing, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success teams to ensure a seamless experience for every customer


Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in SaaS or mid-market sales, with a track record of exceeding targets and building strong customer relationships
  • A natural communicator who knows how to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and drive value
  • Solid understanding of SaaS platforms - bonus points if you've worked with employee experience (EX) solutions
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where your ideas are valued
  • A consultative, adaptable, and thoughtful approach - you're strategic but also hands-on when needed


Additional Information

Please note this is a hybrid role with onsite expectations of 3x/week (Tues - Thurs) from our brand new San Mateo Office.

$100,000 - $150,000 Base Salary. This role is also eligible for variable compensation and equity.
