Our Mission

Swapcard is the leading AI-powered event platform designed to drive revenue growth and foster meaningful connections at in-person and hybrid events. We recognize the importance of teamwork in successful events; that's why Swapcard is fueled by a team of innovators who are passionate about helping organizers build future-proof events.

Our Vision

At Swapcard, we believe in the power of meaningful connections. This belief fuels our commitment to pioneering modern solutions that empower organizers to create engaging event experiences.

Guided by our commitment to excellence and collaboration, we aim to redefine the landscape of event technology, setting new standards for engagement, accessibility, and impact.

Our Beliefs

At Swapcard, diversity is at the core of our success. With 42 nationalities represented among our 180+ team members, we champion diversity as a catalyst for creativity, collaboration, and unparalleled innovation.

We believe that by embracing a multitude of backgrounds, cultures, and viewpoints, we can truly understand and cater to the needs of our global community of event organizers and participants.

Our full remote opportunities empower our team to thrive, no matter where they are in the world, fostering a culture of flexibility and inclusion.

The Strategic Account Manager (SAM) owns the success and growth of a single enterprise customer across a defined geographic region. This is an evolution of our Customer Account Manager role: alongside retention and commercial ownership, the SAM is accountable for regional market development — mapping the client's full event ecosystem, discovering net-new divisions and teams, and growing Swapcard's market share within the account.

You will be the strategic advisor and commercial driver for your region, combining deep relationship management, operational discipline, and proactive discovery of new business. You will work hand-in-hand with Customer Implementation Managers (CIMs), who own technical delivery, so you can focus on strategy, growth, and stakeholder influence.

This is a role for someone who thinks like an owner: equally comfortable running an executive business review, building a regional growth plan, and uncovering the next expansion opportunity on an exhibition floor.

Drive platform adoption and demonstrable ROI across all accounts in your region, post-sale and post-renewal.

Maintain high satisfaction and engagement; anticipate risk through active listening, usage monitoring, and early intervention.

Own detractor and at-risk response (NPS / willingness-to-renew), coordinating outreach and mitigation.

Support renewals, expansion, upgrades, and cross-sells for your regional portfolio.

Build accurate forecasts grounded in client usage and market trends.

Design and monetize add-ons in support of team lead, Marketplace activations, and enhanced services with the client.

Track competitor tools, contract dates, and renewal cycles; maintain a living regional market map as appropriate

Assess pain points, switching probability, and blockers; quantify and grow market share year over year.

Act as the primary contact and strategic advisor to regional client stakeholders.

Build a multi-level influence network across digital operations, marketing, sales, and leadership.

Maintain a structured engagement cadence: weekly with event teams, monthly with influencers, quarterly with executives, and bi-annual in-person reviews.

Develop comprehensive account plans covering objectives, growth levers, adoption roadmap, and risk mitigation.

Build 90/60/30-day action plans per key event to ensure timely delivery and maximum value.

Define mutual success metrics (KPIs) with each stakeholder group and benchmark against comparable Swapcard events.

Own the strategic deployment of in-scope events; partner with CIMs, who execute delivery plans, to maximize activation.

Jointly own project updates, learnings, and replication of successful practices across the region.

Maintain Gainsight data integrity; document milestones, communications, and account activity weekly.

Provide flexible onsite engagement for high-value moments — exhibitor ROI triage, executive touchpoints, and discovery meetings.

Within your term:

Year-over-year retention and expansion rate across your regional portfolio

Number of new divisions discovered and progress to conversion

Market-share growth within your region

Operational health of all in-scope events (on-time delivery and satisfaction)

Forecast accuracy and Gainsight hygiene

Feedback-loop engagement health and stakeholder sentiment

5+ years in a Customer Success, Account Management, or hybrid commercial role in SaaS or event technology (see open items on seniority)

A proven track record managing and growing enterprise accounts, with real commercial ownership: renewals, upsells, and quota

Strong strategic and consultative instincts — able to move from "how-to" support to trusted advisor

Excellent project management and the ability to orchestrate cross-functional teams (implementation, onsite, data, solution design)

Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, and changing environments

Willingness to travel regularly across the region, including to industry events and onsite activations

Fluent English

Nice to Have
