You’ll lead a $15M+ portfolio, and partner with product leaders who expect more than status updates — they expect solutions, insights, and strategic growth.

At Vention, we’re building more than a sales engine. We’re building the most adaptable, AI-enabled, client-centric team in our space. Our goal? To lead the AI transformation of custom software development.

What You Bring

· 5–8+ years of experience in account management, client success, or consulting

· Excellent stakeholder management skills – especially with CTOs and product leaders

· Outcome-driven mindset – focused on results, not just relationship maintenance

· Comfortable using AI tools, CRM data, and automation to increase your impact

· Highly collaborative, organized, and proactive in managing complexity

Compensation

Base Salary: $85,000 - $95,000. On Target Earnings: $160,000 - $245,000 (base + bonuses)

What You’ll Get

· OTE: $245K+ (Base: $80-95K + performance bonus)

· 100% employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance (including dependents)

· 401(k) with 4% company match
