• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Support, Onboarding, and Finance to deliver against customer goals.
• Maintain accurate forecasting, account health tracking, and CRM hygiene for your book of business.

What we would like to see:

• Proven experience managing and growing a strategic or enterprise book of business in a SaaS environment.
• Strong commercial acumen with a track record of driving upsell, expansion, and retention in complex accounts.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with confidence engaging senior external and internal stakeholders.
• Experience handling escalations calmly and effectively, balancing customer advocacy with commercial priorities.
• Strategic thinker who can translate customer goals into clear account plans and execution.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, scaling startup with evolving processes and ambiguity.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to simplify complex topics.
• Experience using CRM and customer success tooling (e.g. HubSpot, Salesforce, Vitally, Zendesk or similar).
