About Trail
Trail is the new name of Nanonets, the Y Combinator company that started in 2017 by reading invoices and other business documents and now sells a context layer for AI agents: it turns policies, SOPs, Slack, Notion and records in SAP or Salesforce into cited business rules that Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, SAP Joule or a customer's own agents follow, and it builds governed agents for accounts payable, order-to-cash, supply chain and revenue-cycle work. Its closers sell to Fortune 1000 buyers across IT, operations and finance: enterprise and strategic account executives in the Palo Alto office carry quota on six- and seven-figure annual contracts that run through security review, procurement and consensus among many stakeholders over cycles of many months, with solutions engineering on the technical validation and the founders in the deal. After signature an enterprise account manager in Europe owns a book from proof-of-concept kickoff through renewal, measured on net revenue retention and working beside a customer success manager, while a director of strategic partnerships builds the partner program from the ground up with systems integrators, consulting firms, ERP ecosystems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, Salesforce) and referral partners. India holds the pipeline and enablement side: an outbound SDR who cold-calls and emails to book first discovery calls for the AEs, and Bengaluru GTM seats that run outbound and channel experiments or build the vertical decks, ROI cases and competitor research the AEs carry into pharma, manufacturing, supply chain, financial services and healthcare accounts. The US account executive postings ask for enterprise closing experience in Fortune 1000 accounts, and the Bengaluru GTM seats for a degree from a top Indian institute and a consulting, venture or founder background.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
