We9re looking for a Senior Manager to lead a team of Relationship Managers, coach them, and drive commercial results across a growing book of accounts. You9ll start with 4 to 5 direct reports, intentionally small so you have space to build the right systems, coaching rhythms, and workflows before scaling up. You9ll also help us figure out what great RM management looks like at scale, leveraging AI to free your team up for the work that actually matters: building real relationships with customers.
What you9ll do:- Put customers first: Make sure your team9s work starts and ends with the customer. Growth that erodes trust isn9t growth. You9re building a team that earns the right to expand relationships, not one that just chases numbers.
- Lead and coach your team: Run regular 1:1s, business reviews and deal reviews. Give direct, honest feedback. Help each person on your team get meaningfully better at their job.
- Drive expansion revenue: Own your team9s commercial targets across product attach, upsell, and wallet share growth. Know which accounts to push and when.
- Use technology to scale: Identify where AI and automation can take operational work off your team9s plate so they spend more time talking to customers. Build native automations, design AI-forward workflows, and partner with RevOps and Engineering to push the limits of what your team can do with fewer manual processes.
- Stay nimble and test constantly: Run small experiments to find signal. Test messaging, segmentation, cadence, and channels. Look at the data, learn fast, and adjust. The competitive landscape shifts regularly, and your team9s approach needs to shift with it.
- Work cross-functionally: Translate what you9re hearing from customers into something Product, Operations, Marketing, and Compliance can act on.
We think the strongest candidates will have some of this experience:- 8+ years in account management, customer success or expansion sales with commercial ownership, with at least 3 years managing a revenue-owning team.
- A track record of running experiments and iterating quickly in a fast-moving, competitive environment.
- Strong coaching instincts. You9ve hired and developed reps, and you can point to people whose careers you9ve shaped.
- AI fluency is a must. You should have real experience automating processes and leveraging data to make your team more effective. We9re not looking for someone who configures off-the-shelf tools. We want someone scrappy who builds native automations and is always looking for ways to do more with less.
- Demonstrated ability to gain trust and buy-in from a team, especially in a fast-paced environment where things are still being figured out.
- Experience building relationships with key stakeholders and customers. You9re comfortable networking, representing the team at events, and developing the kind of rapport that turns customers into advocates.
Nice to have:- Experience managing people in different functional sub-roles (vertical specialists, scaled account managers, strategic RMs) with related but distinct goals.
- Pre-sales or net-new sales experience in addition to post-sale expansion.
- Background in fintech, banking,* or SaaS serving startups and growth-stage companies.
The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options/RSUs), and benefits.
Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry. New hire offers are made based on a candidate9s experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.
