Full Job Description

Who You Will Work With:

The vacant Leader, Account Management role will report to the Head, Business Development. This role leads Interac's account management motion across the commercial and public sector segment – retaining, expanding, and deepening relationships with existing enterprise and government clients on Interac Verified and the broader product portfolio. You'll lead a team of Account Managers and be accountable for net revenue retention, expansion ARR, renewal rates, and Client Satisfaction (CSAT) across a client base that includes a diverse group of large enterprise clients, government agencies and technology platforms.

What You Will Do:  ​

  • Leading team accountable for the post-sale commercial relationship for the commercial and public sector client base — driving retention, renewal, and expansion as the primary growth levers.

  • Set and hold the team accountable to KPIs across CSAT, renewals, upsell ARR, and expansion pipeline.

  • Build structured account management motions: executive relationship cadences, QBRs, health scoring, and proactive risk identification.

  • Identify and execute upsell and cross-sell opportunities within the existing client base — expanding wallet share across the Interac product suite (Interac Verified, eTransfer solutions, Konek, and new product launches).

  • Partner closely with the BD Sales Leader to ensure clean handoffs from new logo close to onboarding, and to align on account expansion strategy for high-potential clients.

  • Serve as executive sponsor for strategic accounts –  engaging at the C-suite and senior government level to reinforce Interac's value and deepen the partnership.

  • Partner with Product and Solutions teams to surface client feedback, influence the roadmap, and ensure clients are fully utilizing the capabilities they've contracted.

  • Coach and develop a high-performing Account Management team — running account reviews, renewal strategy sessions, and performance management with rigor.

  • Upskill the team across core account management competencies: executive relationship development, value realization storytelling, expansion selling, MEDDPICC application in renewal and upsell cycles, and positioning as a Trusted Advisor to clients.

What You Bring: 

  • Proven track record leading an account management team – consistently delivering against Revenue, renewal, and expansion targets across a complex enterprise and/or government client base.

  • Experience managing government and/or commercial enterprise accounts in Canada; you understand the dynamics of multi-year contracts, procurement cycles, and institutional relationship management.

  • Strong commercial instinct – you can identify expansion opportunities within an existing account and coach your team to do the same without waiting for the client to ask.

  • Deep familiarity with client success and account management frameworks: health scoring, QBR design, escalation management, and churn prevention.

  • Hands-on experience with renewal negotiation, pricing conversations, and contract restructuring.

  • Exceptional interpersonal skills with a proven track record of fostering positive relationships with stakeholders, clients, and team members.

  • A player-coach instinct - equally effective building a client relationship at the executive level and developing your team's skills in the same room.

  • Eligibility to work for Interac Corp. in Canada on a full-time basis.
