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 is transforming how businesses build relationships with their customers by embedding AI deeply into our platform. As customers adopt AI-driven capabilities, they need trusted partners who can guide them through change, help them understand value, and ensure adoption translates into meaningful business outcomes. We’re looking for a sales leader to build, scale, and evolve a team of Small Business / Scale Relationship Managers. This role is ideal for someone who excels at developing early-career sales talent, instilling strong sales rigor, and leading teams through periods of product and go-to-market evolution.
