Hi! I’m Keri, based in Mexico, and I lead the Account Management and Enablement teams at WeTravel. I’m growing a team focused on delivering exceptional service, solving real problems, and creating long-term value for our customers around the world.

If you’re passionate about helping businesses thrive, excited by the challenges of working in a fast-paced SaaS environment, and love the idea of contributing to a product that supports travel entrepreneurs—then we’d love to meet you.

As an Account Manager, you’ll be a key part of that mission: helping our amazing community of travel organizers get the most out of WeTravel while feeling truly supported every step of the way. If you’re curious, proactive, and genuinely enjoy seeing others succeed, I’d love to hear from you.

Role Summary

We are looking for a Small Business Account Manager to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll manage a high-volume portfolio of small business customers using a digital-scaled, one-to-many engagement model. Your main focus will be activating new and existing accounts through proactive outreach (including a high volume of cold calls), driving adoption of key features, and identifying growth opportunities. You’ll work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Sales to amplify the voice of the customer and ensure an exceptional client experience at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own the post-sale relationship for a portfolio of 2,000+ small business accounts using a one-to-many model.

• Drive product activation and adoption through cold calling, targeted campaigns, automated sequences, webinars, and trainings.

• Proactively identify accounts with growth potential, upsell/cross-sell opportunities, and collaborate with the Small Business Team Lead to drive expansion.

• Monitor account health at scale, analyzing trends to surface risks and opportunities.

• Act as the voice of the customer by sharing feedback and insights with internal teams to inform product and strategy.

• Amsterdam Program – visit us in Amsterdam (HQ) for 2–4 weeks annually, staying in one of our WeTravel apartments.

• Work remotely for a maximum of 4 weeks per calendar year.

• Annual team off-site (often somewhere sunny ️).

• Extensive paid family leave.

• Three paid volunteer days per year.
