About the role

Be the named account manager our clients are promised: one person who knows their business, owns the plan and answers for the results.

Every subscription includes a named account manager. That is not a service desk role. You hold the commercial relationship, you set the priorities with the client and you coordinate the specialist pods delivering the work.

You will manage twelve to sixteen accounts. You will know their margins, their sales cycle, their seasonality and the internal politics that decide whether a recommendation gets approved.

You are also the early warning system. Retention problems are visible weeks before a cancellation email, and spotting them is a measured part of this job.

Questions applicants ask

Do you sponsor work visas

Not for this role. All United States vacancies require existing authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Is the salary range negotiable

The published range is real. Where you land inside it depends on the practical exercise, the panel conversation and your directly relevant experience. We do not ask for salary history.
