Senior Account Director, In-Account GrowthWe9re hiring a Senior Account Director, In-Account Growth, to be that partner for a portfolio of existing and newly signed clients. You9ll own the relationships, spot the next problem worth solving, shape the technical solution, and close the deal. This is a quota-carrying role with a $7M+ annual sales target.
This role reports to the SVP, Account Management.
How we work with clientsEvery engagement is shaped around a specific client problem, and you own your accounts end to end. You sit with clients to understand what9s getting in their way, then bring the technical depth to shape the answer: how the solution is architected, what data and cloud infrastructure it depends on, and what9s feasible before it reaches a proposal. You scope it, price it, and stand behind it. After the signature you stay close through delivery, escalations, and renewals, keep the account healthy, and turn every win into the next opportunity. You own the sales strategy for your accounts, build the value story executives will fund, and bring the market insight that shows clients why now.
Core strengths for this roleAI fluency across product and tech. You know how AI systems are put together: the models, retrieval, orchestration, and the cloud infrastructure that makes them run. You can talk use cases fluently with a business leader, then go just as deep on context engineering and semantic data with their architects.
A working grasp of modern platforms and data. You know how DXPs, cloud, data platforms, and integrations fit together, and why modernization efforts stall. You can follow a solution architect9s whiteboard and explain it to a CFO.
Experience-led thinking. You see how customer experience, content, and marketing technology drive business results, and you can connect a CMO9s goals to a CTO9s roadmap in the same account.
Consultative deal leadership. You diagnose before you prescribe. You shape custom engagements with our experts, price them around outcomes, and build the business case that gets executives to commit.
Proactive ideation. You don9t wait for clients to come to you. You seek them out and build a flywheel of referrals and outreach inside each account, turning one team9s win into an introduction to the next team, department, or business unit. You bring clients new ideas, a point of view on what they should do next, and a clear case for why it matters, often before they9ve recognized the need themselves.
Market and industry insight. You9re the person who sees a new model or agent framework and immediately thinks about which client it could help. You know where AI is heading, you get excited about putting it to work in Phase29s emerging solution areas, and you share what you learn with our teams as readily as you bring it to clients as a point of view on why now. You also know our clients operate where the stakes are high and the margin for error is small, so you sell trust as confidently as innovation. AI built on Phase29s trust pillars, with trusted data, connected systems, and the right safeguards, is AI they can put into production and stand behind.
Trusted partnership. You build relationships that last beyond the deal, earning trust from client executives and from the Phase2 teams who deliver the work.
What you9ll doGrow your accounts- Build and close $7M+ in your first 12 months by growing your accounts: expanding into new departments, business units, and service lines, and bringing clients larger, more strategic programs that build on the work already in place
- Know your clients9 business well enough to see the next problem before they ask, and build the case for solving it
- Run the full cycle yourself: discovery, qualification, solution shaping, proposal, negotiation, and close. You price around the outcomes and impact you deliver, not just the hours it takes

- Own escalations with confidence, bringing the client and our team together and constructively challenging both to reach the best possible outcome
- Make sure client wins are visible inside Phase2, and help marketing turn them into case studies
Represent Phase2 in the market- Co-sell with platform and technology partners at the executive level
- Speak at industry events, conferences, and panels as a recognized voice on AI and digital transformation, influencing the conversation and elevating Phase29s position in the market
- Travel to client sites, Phase2 gatherings, and events as needed (typically up to 25%)
What you bring- 10+ years selling and growing accounts at a technical or product-focused agency, systems integrator, or technology consultancy. You9ve sold work that a team of people then delivered.
- A proven track record of leading client portfolios worth $7M+ a year and growing them by expanding into new areas of the business
- Experience scoping and pricing custom engagements with delivery teams, including SOWs, retainers, or outcome-based models
- Real fluency in today9s technology landscape: DXPs and CMS platforms, cloud, data platforms, integrations, and how enterprise AI systems are built and governed. You can translate technical solutions into clear business terms.
- Comfort selling to both marketing and technology leaders, often in the same account
- Experience influencing senior executives through insight, clear writing, and sound negotiation
- You use AI as an accelerator in your own work, to sharpen account research, build stronger points of view, and move faster from idea to proposal, amplifying what you can deliver for every account
What will set you apart- You9ve sold AI, data, or platform modernization work that actually made it to production, and can tell us what made it stick
- You9ve worked in regulated industries such as healthcare, life sciences, pharma, or financial services, government, and know how HIPAA, FDA, privacy, and security reviews shape a deal

- You9ve navigated legacy systems, organizational resistance, and competing priorities to get a client to commit

- You9ve co-sold with platform or cloud partners
