• Ensure alignment of account strategies with the CRO, Country Head, and overall business priorities.
• Executive Customer Engagement
• Strengthen C‑suite and Director‑level relationships across strategic accounts in partnership with the GSAs.
• Participate in and/or lead high‑impact Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with key clients.
• Intervene in critical situations to ensure customer confidence, influence expansion opportunities, and maintain strong executive alignment.
• Act as an escalation point for complex commercial or operational issues.
• Operational Excellence & Delivery Oversight
• Partner with Customer Support, Delivery, Product, and Operations teams to ensure seamless handovers, stable performance, and high customer satisfaction.
• Monitor account health metrics across the team — adoption, usage trends, NPS, renewals, and churn risks — ensuring proactive mitigation plans.
• Oversee revenue hygiene including invoicing, collection follow-ups, renewal timelines, and contract compliance.
• Ensure escalations are resolved with urgency, clarity, and cross‑functional alignment.

Qualifications & Experience

• 10–15 years of total experience in enterprise account management, customer success, or B2B SaaS commercial roles, preferably within eCommerce, logistics, supply chain, or related tech domains.
