Full Job Description
Description

Why This Role Matters

Enterprise accounts represent Zencity's highest-value relationships and greatest growth opportunity. The Enterprise Account Manager is the commercial quarterback for a named book of enterprise accounts - owning the relationship with economic buyers, driving renewals and expansion, and ensuring Zencity becomes a long-term strategic partner to the governments we serve. This is a quota-carrying role that requires someone who can navigate complex government procurement, build and maintain champion maps across every level of an organization, and close multi-department expansion deals.

What You Will Do

  • Own commercial outcomes: Carry a quota for net retention and growth across a named book of Enterprise accounts. You are accountable for revenue retention, renewal execution, and expansion.
  • Drive strategic account planning: Build and maintain current account plans for every named account - including stakeholder maps, MEDDIC fields, identified pain, and forward-looking engagement plans. Update following every EBR.
  • Lead executive relationships: Own the relationship with Economic Buyers - City Managers, Mayors, Chiefs of Police, County Administrators, and Commissioners - positioning yourself as a strategic partner, not a vendor. Multi-thread every account from champion to end user.
  • Own the Transfer of Trust: Lead the in-person enterprise kickoff at Closed Won, no exceptions. Set the tone for the relationship from day one and establish the internal account war room in Slack.
  • Chair QBRs and EBRs: Arrange and lead quarterly and executive business reviews for every named account, driving the strategic and commercial narrative and ensuring each conversation advances the relationship.
  • Negotiate and close: Run renewal negotiations including pricing, packaging, and contract terms. Identify, qualify, and close expansion opportunities - then hand off operational delivery to Customer Delivery on close.
  • Orchestrate saves: When an account moves at risk, own the save plan - drawing on Customer Delivery, Expert Services, Product, and executive sponsors as needed.
  • Stay ahead of your accounts: Keep current on local news, personnel changes, political dynamics, and organizational shifts affecting every account in your book. Bring that intelligence to every conversation.
  • Be the internal voice of the customer: Communicate customer needs, competitive dynamics, and market trends to Product, Marketing, and Leadership.

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

Required

  • 5+ years in Account Management or Enterprise Sales in a B2B SaaS environment with demonstrated quota attainment.
  • Multi-threaded enterprise account experience: Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder relationships across an organization - from end users to economic buyers.
  • Government or public sector sales experience: You understand government buying - budget cycles, procurement vehicles (RFPs, cooperative agreements, sole-source), political dynamics, and how to build champions in bureaucratic organizations. GovTech experience strongly preferred.
  • MEDDIC fluency: You use it to qualify, plan, and execute - not just as a checkbox.
  • Executive presence and credibility: Comfortable engaging with Mayors, City Managers, Chiefs, and Commissioners. You can lead a room, tell a value story, and influence without authority.
  • Negotiation expertise: Strong closer who can navigate pricing discussions, contract terms, and procurement requirements.
  • Orchestration discipline: Ability to coordinate internal functions - Customer Delivery, Expert Services, Product, and Leadership - behind each account when the moment calls for it.
  • Willingness to travel: In-person presence is a core part of this role, with a minimum of two onsite visits per enterprise account per year.

What Success Looks Like

  • Accurate forecasting (within 10% of actuals quarter over quarter).
  • Collaborative partnership with CS that drives joint commercial and adoption outcomes.

Boundary Lines

This role is part of a specialized, collaborative delivery model. To set clear expectations:

  • Operational implementation, training, and recurring deliverable production are owned by Customer Delivery.
  • Billable methodology engagements are delivered by Expert Services.
  • Tier 1 and Tier 2 platform support is handled by Operations.
  • Survey design and distribution operations are managed by Operations (Survey Ops), supported by Expert Services on premium engagements.

The travel expectation for this role +25%.
