SalesAccount Manager

This senior post-sale role is responsible for managing a portfolio of complex mid-market and enterprise accounts across a growing SaaS platform.
You’ll focus on protecting recurring revenue, driving strategic expansion, and building durable executive-level customer relationships.
A key priority is guiding customers through a company-wide pricing migration with sound commercial judgment and strong negotiation skills.
You’ll work closely with Customer Success, Product, Finance, and Legal to resolve risks and deliver value across high-ARR accounts.
The role combines strategic account planning, renewal management, executive engagement, and operational rigor.
You’ll also help elevate the broader account management team by modeling effective practices and sharing your expertise.
This is a remote opportunity suited to a commercially minded, highly organized professional who thrives in a fast-moving environment.

Own a portfolio of complex, high-ARR mid-market and enterprise accounts, developing quarterly account plans and proactive stakeholder maps.
Build multi-threaded relationships across customer organizations, including executive, procurement, legal, and operational stakeholders.
Lead complex renewal negotiations and pricing migration discussions, balancing commercial objectives with long-term customer relationships.
Identify expansion opportunities by using product usage, customer outcomes, and ROI insights to demonstrate additional value.
Initiate expansion conversations proactively and build strategies that support sustainable account growth.
Manage executive escalations with clear save plans, early risk identification, and coordinated internal action.
Use AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent solutions to prepare for customer conversations, analyze account information, develop strategies, and improve productivity.
Maintain accurate, actionable CRM records, including expansion opportunities, next steps, renewal plans, and mitigation strategies for at-risk accounts.
Partner with Customer Success, Product, Finance, Legal, and other teams to deliver coordinated solutions for complex accounts.
Mentor and support less experienced team members by sharing practical approaches to account planning, executive QBRs, objection handling, and strategic customer management.
