Rain is seeking a seasoned Account Manager to join our team, with a dedicated focus on our most strategic accounts. These relationships carry outsized revenue and reputational weight for Rain and require a high-touch, white-glove, deeply relationship-driven servicing model. In this role, you will be a key player in managing these top accounts end-to-end: driving expansions and renewals, leading QBRs, and ensuring Rain shows up as the best possible partner at every stage of the relationship. You will operate in a player-coach model, working closely alongside our existing senior and enterprise account managers.

  • Senior roles at both large enterprises and startup or scale-up companies. Demonstrated ability to identify process improvements, build scalable solutions, and thrive in fast-moving, iterative environments


Bonus attributes:
  • Experience standing up a new team or function from scratch, rather than inheriting an existing one
