Job description

Bridgepoint Management Partners is a Denver-based management and advisory firm that helps European companies (primarily from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland) build, grow, and manage their North American operations. We operate as our clients' extended team on the ground, working across market entry, operational management, business transformation, and M&A. When our clients win, we win.

The Role

We're looking for a hands-on Junior Key Account Manager to help us serve our clients in the North American market by representing them, developing their business, and helping them win customers. You'll start by supporting a senior lead who owns the client relationship, and grow over time into leading client relationships of your own.

Here’s what that looks like. A European company comes to us wanting to bring their product and services to the U.S. You help assess the opportunity and shape the market analysis. Once there's a go-to-market plan, you help execute it: doing business development on the client's behalf, prospecting customers and partners, organizing and working trade shows, opening doors. As the business takes hold, you help run it: supply chain setup, purchase orders, billing and invoicing. One account, many hats, from first look to up-and-running.

This role is broad by design and built for someone who wants range and ownership, who's energized by seeing how a business actually gets built and run across industries and borders. You'll work closely with senior leadership, expand your remit as you prove yourself, and grow toward owning client relationships of your own.

What You’ll Do

Client relationship

• Point of contact : support the senior lead on the account as a reliable day-to-day point of contact, keeping the client informed and the work moving
• Coordination : connect the dots across the client’s commercial teams and Bridgepoint’s subject-matter experts and partner network, working across several clients at once in a fast-moving environment
• Lifecycle ownership : help move the account through its full lifecycle, from assessing the opportunity, to launching in-market, to running steady-state business operations, taking on more as you grow

Opportunity & go-to-market

• Market analysis : develop market and competitor analyses to size up a client’s U.S. opportunity and shape the case for entry, under guidance from leadership
• Business development : drive BD on the client’s behalf, from customer and partner prospecting to building and working the sales pipeline, with the follow-through that turns leads into revenue
• Events & representation : organize and represent clients at trade shows, industry events, and prospect meetings, showing up as a credible extension of their team

Client operations

• Order & fulfillment : manage purchase orders end-to-end: receiving, confirming, and tracking orders, coordinating with the client’s customers and logistics partners, keeping delivery commitments on schedule
• Supply chain : help stand up and run the client’s U.S. supply chain, coordinating suppliers, warehousing, freight, and logistics providers, and troubleshooting issues as they arise
• Billing & invoicing : own day-to-day billing and invoicing: issuing invoices, tracking receivables and payments, and flagging issues so cash keeps flowing
• Budget : help establish and maintain the client’s budget, under the oversight of the senior leader on the account
• Back‑office coordination : work with the client’s accounting, payroll, and HR providers, and handle people‑admin logistics (onboarding, record‑keeping, and equipment setup) alongside our licensed providers
• Operational backbone : serve as a reliable operational backbone for the account, keeping the many moving parts organized so nothing falls through the cracks

What You Bring

• 2–4 years of experience in account management, business development, sales, or a client‑facing commercial role
• A relationship‑builder: you read what a client needs, build trust, and make things happen on their behalf
• Strong business and commercial acumen: you understand how companies make money, grow, and operate
• A hands‑on, resourceful, get‑it‑done attitude; comfortable owning tasks end‑to‑end
• Highly organized, able to juggle many moving parts across client accounts
• Comfortable with outreach and in‑person representation: you're not afraid to start a conversation or walk a trade‑show floor
• Willingness to build financial‑operations skills: enough comfort with numbers to grow into client budget ownership over time
• A knack for working smarter with AI: you like using AI to build lightweight tools, automate the busywork, and streamline how things get done.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

Nice to Have

• Finance or accounting exposure, or hands‑on experience with budgets and financial statements
• Digital marketing skills
• Familiarity with industrial, manufacturing, or B2B sectors
• Experience running a pipeline in a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)
• Bachelor's degree (business, finance, economics, or a related field)

Why Bridgepoint

You’ll work directly with senior leaders, get real ownership early, and get exposure to multiple aspects of building a business: commercial growth and the operational and financial engine behind it. This is a rare opportunity to build a genuinely versatile skillset while helping to build transatlantic businesses spanning a range of industries.

Base salary range: $55,000–$65,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications, plus performance-based bonus potential.

Benefits include health insurance, paid time off, and a retirement plan.
