Account Management Specialist

Are you ready to take a pivotal role in enhancing customer relationships and driving business growth?

Wise is seeking a dedicated Account Management Specialist in Budapest to join our high-impact team! This is your unique chance to dive into proactive account management and help shape the future of business support at Wise.

Role Overview

As an Account Management Specialist, you will be the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for all queries from the customers in your portfolio. You will balance reactive tasks—resolving ad-hoc questions and technical issues—with proactive engagement to drive retention and identify growth opportunities. You will serve as their dedicated partner at Wise, acting as the primary point of contact to provide a seamless experience and minimize their need to reach out to general support.

What you'll be doing:

In this specialist role, you'll be managing a dedicated portfolio of high-volume business customers, focusing on retention and growth in contribution margin.

• Proactive account management: You'll pioneer our differentiated service proposition, focusing relentlessly on resolution, quality, and SLAs compliance. This involves understanding customer needs, providing tailored advice, and proactively identifying opportunities for them to optimize their use with Wise.
• Problem solving & support: Act as the go-to person for complex client issues. Leverage your deep product knowledge to provide powerful, personable relationships with your customer base, generating trust.
• Strategic client engagement: Proactively monitor your portfolio's health and engage with customers based on data-driven triggers to address potential issues and ensure ongoing customer satisfaction. 
• Collaborate cross-team: Work seamlessly with support teams and other stakeholders. A crucial part of your role is providing valuable feedback that directly contributes to service and process improvements.

We are looking for a highly capable and experienced individual ready to strategically grow their portfolio and lead by example. Success in this role demands deep industry knowledge, exceptional communication (fluent in English), and a strong "get stuff done" execution focus.

The mindset & core competencies

• The "SPOC" Mindset: You are comfortable being the primary contact for everything. You don't mind "going deep into the rabbit hole" to support issue resolution while always keeping an eye on the long-term strategic relationship.
• Customer-Centric focus: A strong commitment to customer satisfaction and the ability to instill this mindset in others. You are adept at articulating complex concepts accessibly, fostering strong client connections.
• Strategic & analytical thinking: You possess excellent problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills. You'll make data-driven decisions and anticipate challenges, guiding effectively under pressure.
• Exceptional communication: Outstanding English communication skills to clearly explain complex concepts to both customers and internal team members.
• Attention to detail & compliance: Great attention to detail and a solid understanding of KYC principles. You can identify compliance-related red flags and behaviours, and actively guide your team in mitigating risks.
• Dynamic adaptability: The ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where priorities can shift, requiring agility in leading your team through varied tasks.

The experience & execution

We're looking for someone who is ready to be hands-on and drive tangible results:

• Experience: You have worked in an account management role for at least 12 months.
• Right to Work: You are eligible to work in Hungary (we're not able to offer visa support for this role)
• Proven growth track record: You have a track record of successfully growing your accounts.
• Payments expertise: You have experience with domestic and cross-border payment systems (SEPA, FPS, SWIFT, and other local market payment schemes).
• Industry fluency: You're familiar with the business and financial services landscapes and understand how cross-border payments work for them today. You ensure your team stays informed about industry trends, market shifts, and competitors’ landscape, translating these insights into actionable strategies.
• High-growth experience: You've worked in a high-growth payments technical environment previously.
• Data driven: You are extremely comfortable working with operational, product, and financial data, and can "connect the dots" across them.
• Execution superpower: Getting stuff done is your superpower! You possess strong planning, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. You are deadline-oriented with great time and energy management.
• Hands-on & accountable: You are ready to go deep into the rabbit hole—whether it’s diving deep into data analysis, processes, or compliance. You are decisive and accountable, driving team results and empowering team members.
