Account Executive - Strategic

FreshworksAustin, Texas, United StatesRemote

Company Description


Company DescriptionOrganizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of “solutions” that promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their customers and employees. To help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or break a business. Create better or worse experiences. Propel or throttle growth. Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to get work done.

And, over 4,500 Freshworks employees make this possible, all around the world.
