Full Job Description
We're seeking a Midwest based Strategic Account Director to partner with our most impactful, high-touch enterprise accounts in key regional markets. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-growth environments, enjoys building deep customer partnerships, and excels at on-site account engagement, roadmap partnership, and revenue growth planning.

This is a rare opportunity to lead in a mission-focused, AI-first company with exponential growth. You'll drive measurable impact, help scale foundational customer success structures, and shape the way EvenUp serves its most strategic clients.

What you'll do:
  • Drive Growth & Retention: Prospect, develop, and close upsell and cross-sell opportunities and contract renewals.
  • Strategic Account Planning: Partner with EvenUp product and executive teams to develop and execute long-term success plans aligned with customer objectives and business outcomes.
  • Own High-Value Accounts: Lead a portfolio of 5-10 key accounts, ensuring they receive personalized, high-touch support and strategic guidance.
  • On-site Client Engagement: Be present with clients at least once a week-build trust, understand evolving goals, and ensure alignment.
  • Outcome-Focused Advocacy: Advocate for customer needs internally, providing insights to Product, Finance, and Engineering to improve offerings and align on goals.


What we look for:
  • Experience: 5+ years in Strategic Customer Success or Key Account Management, preferably in high-growth B2B SaaS startups.
  • Account Expertise: Proven track record managing a few large, complex accounts with $1M+ in ARR or equivalent scope.
  • Consultative Approach: Skilled at working with every level of the business: executive stakeholders, operations leaders, contributors to understand their goals and deliver outcomes.
  • Hands-On & Autonomous: Comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking ownership-without needing constant direction.
  • Collaborative & Internal Influence: Excellent cross-functional communication-ensuring customer feedback is woven into product and service enhancements.
  • Weekly Local Travel: Comfortable engaging with regular in-person meetings, drop-ins, trainings within a two hour drive.
