Join the fun! 💚 Join Telavox as a Key Account Director for the Nordics 🚀 Are you a commercially driven relationship builder who enjoys growing strategic partnerships and turning opportunities into long-term business results? At Telavox, we work closely with operators and service providers to help them grow their B2B business through innovative communication solutions. Telavox is a fast-growing digital telco that combines the reliability of telecom with the agility of SaaS. Our UCaaS platform enables operators and service providers across Europe and the Middle East to offer businesses smarter communication solutions, bringing together fixed and mobile telephony, phone systems, AI, integrations, analytics, collaboration, and omnichannel features. Our service provider customers include Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Cloud PBX and VoIP carriers that distribute our platform as part of their own product portfolios.

You are the primary point of contact and trusted advisor to the operator, building relationships from operational teams to executive management. You understand their business, priorities, and challenges, and use that insight to identify opportunities for expansion, increased adoption, and revenue growth. This includes helping the operator acquire more end customers, expand its service offering, and generate more revenue through our platform. This is a senior, commercially focused role where you lead through influence rather than formal authority. The role has no direct reports, so success depends on your ability to bring together the right people across Telavox and the operator, aligning commercial ambitions with product capabilities and operational delivery to make the partnership successful. You will report to the Head of Business Unit Telavox Platform and work closely with teams across Product, Engineering, and Customer Service Delivery.

About you You are a commercially minded relationship builder with deep expertise in telecom software solutions and several years of experience developing strategic partnerships and growing complex B2B accounts. You understand that successful account management goes beyond maintaining relationships; it requires commercial curiosity, a clear strategy, and the ability to turn customer needs into business opportunities. You are comfortable navigating complex organisations, engaging with senior stakeholders, and bringing different teams together around shared goals. You combine a long-term perspective with a strong drive to create results, and you know how to balance customer value with commercial growth. You are structured, trustworthy, and proactive. You build credibility through your understanding of the customer's business, follow through on commitments, and know how to influence people without having direct authority over them. We are looking for someone with: • Several years of experience in strategic account management or senior B2B sales, ideally within telecom software, with operators, or in a service provider environment • A proven track record of owning and growing large, complex customer relationships, including strategic account planning, stakeholder mapping, and executive engagement • A strong understanding of the Nordic telecom landscape, including key players and business models, ideally combined with an established network within the operator ecosystem • In-depth knowledge of VoIP, SIP trunking, UCaaS, and MNO or service provider business models • Experience identifying commercial opportunities, developing business cases, and negotiating complex contracts, renewals, and expansions • Strong solution-selling skills and the ability to understand technical solutions and translate them into clear customer value and business outcomes • The ability to use data and commercial insights to support decision-making, identify opportunities, and drive account growth • Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage with decision-makers at all levels • A collaborative and influential way of working, bringing together teams across different functions and organisations to achieve shared results • A bachelor's degree in Business, Telecommunications, or a related field.
