  • Maintain accurate account forecasts, pipeline visibility, and CRM hygiene to support reliable revenue planning and leadership decision-making.

  • Excellent communication and presentation ability, including the confidence to lead business reviews, resolve concerns, and align teams around shared priorities.
  • Working knowledge of CRM systems and account tracking tools to manage pipeline, forecast accurately, and keep account data clean and actionable.
  • Structured problem-solving skills with the discipline to diagnose issues, prioritize trade-offs, and drive resolution across internal functions.
  • Collaboration and coordination strength, especially when working with cross-functional teams to deliver customer outcomes quickly and consistently.

Additional Plus

  • Experience in SaaS, HR tech, recruitment tech, or other B2B technology environments where client retention and expansion are central to the role.
  • Familiarity with consultative selling, strategic account planning, and value-based customer conversations that support revenue growth.
  • Exposure to data-driven account management practices, including health scoring, churn risk analysis, and executive reporting.

What You'll Bring

  • A track record of owning important client relationships and turning them into durable commercial outcomes through retention, growth, and strong stakeholder management.
  • The ability to work with urgency and structure, using clear priorities, clean execution, and consistent follow-through to keep accounts healthy.
  • A customer-first mindset paired with commercial discipline, so client success translates into business performance.
  • Confidence working across teams and levels, with enough influence to move issues forward and enough accountability to close the loop.
