Trusted by teams at companies like Genesco, Asana, Pinterest, and Synaptics, it’s a great time to join us. How we work We’re a team that values diversity in all its forms and loves adding new perspectives. We ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and build with empathy, for customers and for each other. We care about craft, we love feedback, and we take ownership. We also embrace humor (yes, the puns are real), because doing serious work doesn’t have to feel so serious. Our workforce is fully remote, and your personal working hours can be based on your own timezone. All team-wide meetings are scheduled to be inclusive of all North American time zones. Ethena is looking for a driven, strategic Mid-Market Account Manager to work with our growing portfolio of mid-market customers. First and foremost, you’ll be the guardian of these customer relationships, ensuring that customers are adopting and seeing value with Ethena. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys helping customers find success and always has an eye out for ways to do things better. As a Mid-Market Account Manager, you’ll be supporting our fast-growing, high-potential customers. Managing accounts within the 150 to 1,000-employee range, you will support both renewals and drive strategic expansion. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the customer’s revenue journey 0 owning renewals, identifying "white space" for new product adoption, and multi-threading across People, Legal, and Security teams. Why Ethena? Because it’s a need-to-have vs. a nice-to-have. We save companies thousands of hours a year with innovative ways to deliver compliance training, deliver 93% learner-loved content, and meet compliance needs without creating administrative overhead. In a world where every tool is expected to do more with less, Ethena delivers for admins, employees, and leadership teams alike. Reports to

  • Lead compelling business reviews: Lead compelling reviews that move past usage metrics to customer stories, ways to uplevel their training program, and ROI. You’ll use adoption data to tell a story of risk mitigation and cultural health, opening doors for expanded partnerships.
  • Scale the mid-market playbook: You will design scalable frameworks for how we transition customers from single-product users to "full-suite" advocates.

  • Tech-forward approach: You are a champion of the "Work Smarter" philosophy. You are genuinely excited to leverage AI and Automation to amplify your impact.
