About The Position

Intercom is the AI Customer Service company on a mission to help businesses provide incredible customer experiences. Our AI agent Fin, the most advanced customer service AI agent on the market, lets businesses deliver always-on, impeccable customer service and ultimately transform their customer experiences for the better. Fin can also be combined with our Helpdesk to become a complete solution called the Intercom Customer Service Suite, which provides AI enhanced support for the more complex or high touch queries that require a human agent. Founded in 2011 and trusted by nearly 30,000 global businesses, Intercom is setting the new standard for customer service. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and consistently deliver incredible value to our customers. What's the opportunity? Intercom’s Fin is the leading AI Agent for Customer Service. We’re now expanding that capability into a broader Customer Agent vision, AI agents that can move seamlessly across the customer journey, starting with Sales Agent. Sales Agent is a new product motion for Intercom and a new buyer for us. As an AE on the Customer Agent team, you’ll help bring Sales Agent to market with a small specialist group, landing early customers, proving ROI, and shaping how we position, package, and price this product as we move from beta to a repeatable, scalable GTM motion. Team and role summary You’ll join a small, dedicated “tiger team” built for speed and learning. The team includes a sales leader, a small group of specialist AEs (mix of internal top performers and external hires) and dedicated Solution Engineering support. This team operates with high autonomy and high accountability. You will work closely with Product, Marketing, and Pricing to bring real customer signals into decisions and help the company learn quickly what resonates, what converts, and what customers will pay for. This role often operates as a specialist overlay into existing Intercom customer accounts. Core Relationship Managers own the overall account relationship. You own the Sales Agent motion, including discovery, evaluation design, ROI narrative, and commercials. You will also engage selective inbound opportunities and strategic logos when they match the ICP. If you enjoy being close to product, moving fast, and shaping a new motion from scratch, you’ll thrive here.
