Company Description

Organizations 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. 

There’s another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works.

At Freshworks, we build uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional customer and employee experiences. Our enterprise-grade solutions are powerful, yet easy to use, and quick to deliver results. Our people-first approach to AI eliminates friction, making employees more effective and organizations more productive.

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

Fresh vision. Real impact. Come build it with us.

  • Revenue focused: Skilled in prospecting, pipeline management, and accurate forecasting, ensuring a consistent flow of opportunities and predictable results.

  • Domain knowledge: Strong solution-selling skills with the ability to listen, understand diverse customer challenges, and position software solutions (e.g., ITSM, IT infrastructure, EX platforms) that enhance productivity, engagement, and ROI.

  • Strong communicator: Collaborative and analytical, with a customer-first mindset and the ability to partner across teams and use insights to drive sustainable growth.
