Quick Highlights Role: Full-cycle outbound AE.
You'll build your own pipeline, run your own discovery, deliver your own demos, and close your own deals.
Target: ecommerce brands doing $50M+ in revenue.
High intent Outbound with cold calls, cold emails, LinkedIn, video, events, customer referrals that opens the door for us.
Reports to: Head of Revenue Stage: Team of 25.
Primarily based in Bangalore, India with some team members in the US.
Shift: US business hours.
Growth: Raised seed round from Sequoia and profitable with over 2,000 US-based brands Location: In-office.
Bangalore, India.
Compensation: INR 40 - 60 LPA depending on experience (50% fixed, 50% performance pay).
Our commissions are uncapped - our founding AE earned INR 1.
1 Cr last year.
The next one is on track to make 60 lacs+ in his first year Team: You'll be part of our high-performing sales team, working directly with our Head of Revenue and CEO Why now: Our sales team crushed quota in 2024, achieving 188%, 173%, 244%, and 250% last four quarters and in 2025.
We have a category-defining brand in AI customer service and a product that wins competitive evals and $100k+ deals.
The brands we want to work with - the $50M+ ecom names everyone recognizes — They don't fill out demo forms.
They get pitched 30 times a week and ignore most of it.
We are building an outbound team that can earn those meetings and close them.
About the Role We've spent six years building product-market fit through 100% inbound — podcasts, word of mouth.
It worked. We're at 2,000+ brands and growing.
The next chapter is different.
The brands we want to work with now are bigger, more sophisticated, and harder to reach.
They won't raise their hand.
You'll have to go get them - and you'll have one of the strongest brands and product in the category to do it with.
This is a full-cycle role.
You own everything from outreach to close: Build your target account list (we'll help, but the strategy is yours) Research the account, the buyers, the stack, the pain Run a multichannel sequence — cold call, cold email, LinkedIn, video, events Multi-thread across CX leaders, Heads of Support, COOs, CFOs Run discovery, deliver the demo, build the business case, negotiate, close This is not SDR work.
This is not "spray and pray.
" This is strategic, account-based outbound where you treat 100–150 accounts like 100–150 separate campaigns.
You'd be a fit if… Full-cycle outbound DNA: 3+ years closing B2B SaaS deals into mid-market or enterprise, where you sourced most of your own pipeline.
You've hit quota with no inbound safety net.
Strategic, not random: You build target lists, map buying committees, and run sequences with intent.
You know the difference between volume outbound and strategic outbound — and you run the strategic kind.
Research obsession: You don't send "checking in" emails.
You send messages that prove you understand the prospect's business better than the last 10 reps who pitched them.
Multichannel fluency: Email, LinkedIn, phone, video, in-person — you know which lever to pull and when.
You don't rely on one channel.
Multi-stakeholder selling: You can run a deal with 4–6 stakeholders without losing the thread.
You know how to sell to CX, IT, and finance in the same deal cycle.
You can pick up the phone: Cold calling is a core part of this role.
You don't avoid the phone, you don't apologize for calling, and you've gotten meetings from it.
Product expertise: Track record of mastering complex products (100+ features, 100+ use cases, 100+ workarounds) and explaining them clearly.
Enterprise discovery: You qualify pain, urgency, fit, and buying process early.
You'll disqualify a deal that won't close instead of forecasting it.
Customer obsession: You sell the way you'd want to be sold to.
No tricks, no pressure, no "sign today or the price goes up.
" Bonus points: You've sold into ecommerce, CX, or support tooling.
You've displaced an incumbent (Zendesk, Gorgias, Kustomer, Intercom).
You've closed 20+ agent deals.
Why Work at Richpanel Impact: Front-row seat at a rapidly scaling company Autonomy: You own your territory, your account list, your strategy Co-workers: Driven, down-to-earth, kind people.
The team is the best part of the job.
Wealth creation: Profitable, multi-million ARR, turned down Series A.
ESOPs with real upside.
Our Core Values We look for and nurture these values in every team member: Customer obsession: Always do what's right for the customer.
Don't be pushy.
