Reporting to the Regional Sales Director, you will be responsible for driving Telnyx's expansion across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As we scale rapidly from our Dubai foundation into Riyadh and beyond, this is a high-impact opportunity to own a territory and shape how businesses across KSA adopt next-generation communications infrastructure.

Telnyx is a global leader in Voice AI and programmable telecom infrastructure - we provide the building blocks (SIP trunking, Voice API, SMS, WhatsApp Business API, AI inference, IoT connectivity, and AI-powered voice solutions) that companies use to embed real-time communications into their products. From AI-driven call centers to embedded phone systems in SaaS platforms, we're the infrastructure layer powering the future of voice.
