Relay is at a transformative inflection point, moving from a product-centric communications business to a platform-centric AI leader for the industrial frontline.

You will have the opportunity to define "what good looks like" in sectors like steel recycling, automotive manufacturing, and logistics. This role offers high visibility, a direct path to influencing our GTM strategy, and the chance to own a significant piece of our steep growth trajectory.

What you will do:

• Revenue Ownership (Retention & Expansion): Own the net-revenue growth of your portfolio. You are responsible for minimizing contraction, driving user expansion, feature upsells, and hardware refreshes within your existing sites.

• Strategic Value Realization & Book Management: Use data to interpret health trends across your book and design customer engagements accordingly. You are responsible for customers deriving maximum value from Relay ensuring site level success while progressing corporate partnerships. You embody the brand and build trust in Relay with every customer interaction you lead.
• Cross-Functional Advocacy: Serve as the "Voice of the Industrial Customer" internally. Partner with Product, Marketing and Sales as we refine our product offerings for the industrial frontline, including implementation of new hardware, deploying new features, and leading initial upsell motions within your book of business. Partner with Support and Billing, ensuring any escalations have timely resolution for your customers.

What You'll Have

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Sales. Proven track record of managing complex, multi-site B2B accounts with account-based motion growth, preferably within the Industrial, Manufacturing, or Logistics sectors.
• Proven Revenue Ownership: Strong commercial negotiator anchored in driving value and win:win outcomes with customers. You are comfortable owning a revenue number, navigating complex contract negotiations, and connecting product metrics to a customer’s bottom line.
• Self-Starter & Constant Learner: You have an entrepreneurial spirit, and aim to deeply understand the market and customers in your command enabling more effective account strategies and leading customers to achieve their goals with Relay.
• Data & Technical Curiosity: Technology is ever changing and this leader can iterate and build from an informed point of view both in deep understanding of customer data as well as the role AI and technology continue to play in enabling your customers and your own workstreams.
• Strategic Communication: Ability to frame complex risks and opportunities with customers and internal advocacy for cross-functional stakeholders. You can navigate disagreement with logic and empathy to keep stakeholders focused on outcomes.
• Technical Aptitude: Curiosity and capability to master a sophisticated hardware+software platform. You must be able to articulate Relay’s technical advantages over legacy radio incumbents and modern competitors.

The Relay Work Model

At Relay, relationships are at the core of everything we do - and this translates to how we approach our customers and our work internally. Relay strives to be long-term relational partners versus transactional vendors to our customers. You will be encouraged to get in front of our customers and/or attend a trade show as a Relayer, regardless of your role.

Internally, Relayers endeavor to build authentic, caring, and trusted relationships with each other.

With these principles in mind, and because we believe relationships are formed more quickly and deeply in-person, we greatly value the power of collaborating together with our customers on-site at their properties, and with each other in our spectacular and amenity-rich office.

Our relational approach is also at the heart of why we ask all Relayers in our office-centric model to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week.

At this time, Relay is unable to provide sponsorship for employment. In order to be considered for employment, applicants must be currently legally authorized to work in the US and not require future sponsorship in order to continue working for Relay.
