  • 7–10 years of experience in enterprise B2B sales, including at least 4 years selling technology solutions to telecommunications operators, service providers, or related organizations in India.
  • Experience meeting or exceeding annual sales targets for complex, high-value technology solutions.
  • Strong understanding of the Indian telecommunications and Service Provider ecosystem, including telecom operators, internet service providers, and cloud service providers.
  • Working knowledge of IP/MPLS, SRv6, Agentic Operations (Agentic Ops), and Crossworks, with the ability to connect these technologies to customer needs and network transformation initiatives.
  • Understanding of Data Center business and networking infrastructure, with the ability to connect Service Provider solutions with data center, cloud, and digital infrastructure requirements.
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and presentation skills, with experience engaging customers across different levels of an organization, including senior and executive leaders.
  • Experience managing complex sales opportunities, including commercial negotiations, multi-year agreements, and Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
  • Strong business and financial understanding, with the ability to develop and communicate value propositions and commercial proposals.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
