Full Job Description
About the role...

You'll own the GMV outcome for a portfolio of Archive's largest brand partners, and the VP+ relationships that drive it. This is a high-judgment, relationship-first role for someone who's run real commercial negotiations, navigated hard executive conversations, and made the call on what matters without waiting for a playbook. If you've owned revenue outcomes at the enterprise level, get energized by high-stakes relationships where the calls actually matter, and want to shape how a category-defining company grows its biggest accounts, this is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Develop business cases for strategic bets and pitch upsells
  • Partner with Sales and Commercial leadership on contract motions and pricing

Strategic prioritization
  • Identify the 2-3 big bets per account per quarter and make the case for what to deprioritize
  • Pattern-match across seasonality, brand initiatives, and macro trends to surface what actually matters
  • Serve as the judgment layer on performance: what to escalate, what to let ride, and when to push

Internal quarterbacking
  • Pull in Implementation, Product, Ops, CX, and Marketing when an account needs them
  • Escalate platform limitations internally with clear context and urgency
  • Be the single point of accountability, in the wins and the escalations

  • Advise team members on complex or advanced cases
  • Codify best practices and shape how the team approaches brand growth
Requirements
  • 6+ years owning revenue outcomes in enterprise account management, customer success, or commercial roles, ideally with $XM+ portfolios.
  • Proven track record landing and expanding VP+ relationships at enterprise or mid-market brands.
  • Experience owning commercial negotiations; renewals, expansions, contract motions
  • Strong commercial acumen: ability to build business cases, develop growth theses, and drive pricing conversations
  • Comfort making judgment calls and setting priorities without a playbook
  • Experience working cross-functionally to drive outcomes across product, ops, and go-to-market teams
  • Exceptional communicator, able to adapt the narrative for executive audiences.
Bonus requirements
