Role at a Glance
Title: Account Director
Team: Customer Success / Account Management
Employment Type: Full-time
Location: Singapore
Why This Role Matters
We're hiring an Account Director to own the growth and long-term success of some of Hupo's most important enterprise accounts in Asia.
This is a commercially accountable role. You'll build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, understand the priorities and challenges of each organisation, and turn those relationships into long-term growth for both the customer and Hupo.
You'll own accounts across the full lifecycle - from onboarding and adoption through renewal and expansion - and work closely with Product, Engineering, Deployment, and Customer Success to make sure Hupo delivers meaningful business outcomes.
As Hupo continues to expand within existing customers, this role will play a key part in identifying where we can go deeper: new teams, business units, use cases, markets, and products.
What You'll Do
Own account growth
- Own and exceed expansion and retention targets across a portfolio of enterprise accounts.
- Develop strategic account plans that identify new stakeholders, teams, business units, markets, and use cases.
- Identify and drive upsell, cross-sell, renewal, and multi-year expansion opportunities.
- Lead commercial conversations including proposals, negotiations, renewals, and expansion agreements.
- Build and maintain a clear, actionable pipeline across your accounts.
Build executive relationships
- Build trusted relationships with senior business, technology, and procurement stakeholders.
- Understand each customer's business priorities, operating environment, and measures of success.
- Act as a strategic partner to customers, connecting Hupo's capabilities to their broader business objectives.
- Build strong internal champions and navigate complex stakeholder environments.
- Lead executive business reviews and communicate outcomes, risks, recommendations, and opportunities clearly.
Drive customer outcomes
- Own the overall health and success of your accounts from onboarding through adoption, renewal, and expansion.
- Define clear success measures with customers and ensure Hupo demonstrates measurable business impact.
- Work closely with Deployment, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to deliver successful enterprise programmes.
- Stay close to delivery progress, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder expectations.
- Step in when issues require escalation, alignment, or additional momentum.
Shape our commercial strategy
- Bring customer and market insights back to Hupo to help shape our product and go-to-market strategy.
- Identify patterns across accounts that can inform new use cases, expansion opportunities, and ways of working.
- Help build repeatable account-management practices as the team scales.
What Success Looks Like
Within your first few months, you'll:
- Build strong relationships with key stakeholders across your accounts and develop a clear understanding of their business priorities.
- Take ownership of account plans, renewal timelines, expansion opportunities, and commercial pipelines.
- Establish clear success measures with customers and work with internal teams to drive adoption and measurable outcomes.
You'll also be expected to continuously:
- Grow and retain your portfolio by identifying and converting expansion opportunities.
- Build deeper relationships across customer organisations and develop strong executive champions.
- Drive successful customer outcomes while keeping commercial priorities and account health in focus.
- Bring customer insights back to the wider team and help improve how Hupo manages and grows enterprise accounts.
