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

- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where your ideas are valued

- Apply only through the official “Apply on the employer’s site” button, on the employer’s own site, and check that a recruiter’s email uses that employer’s own domain rather than a free email address.
- Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
