What You'll Do:
  • Lead a team of Account Managers, Account Directors, and Key Account Directors helping them achieve and surpass renewal targets and uncover growth opportunities, working closely with Sales partners to drive growth across our largest strategic accounts.
  • Drive successful customer outcomes by increasing renewal rates and reducing churn, expanding revenue through building deeper relationships with our accounts, and influencing future lifetime value through higher product adoption
  • Achieve and exceed retention and expansion goals by coaching + modeling 360 degree relationship-building and driving value realization through product utilization
  • Accurately forecast retention and growth for your book of business through operational rigor, inspection, and a deep understanding of the dynamics of our accounts
  • Own hiring, talent management and development for individual contributors and managers through hands on coaching, mentorship, and implementation/execution of scalable performance management programs
  • Collaborate with Sales to drive successful growth outcomes
  • Act as a senior voice for the customer across the organization aligning with Product, Enablement, and Marketing on roadmap feedback, go-to-market motions, and customer facing initiatives.

Candidate Requirements:
  • 10+ years of work experience in sales, account management, or client success
  • 5+ years of direct people management experience
  • 2+ year managing managers
  • A high aptitude and willingness to learn. Because of our diverse base of clients, much of the technical knowledge required to succeed will be learned on the job
  • Ability to distill and explain complex issues in simple terms
  • Experience operationalizing the customer journey
  • An intelligent, articulate, consultative and confident client facing professional
