Role Overview:

The Senior Account Manager is responsible for owning and scaling a portfolio of 30+ active client accounts while delivering a consistently exceptional client experience. This role sits at the center of client success, retention, and expansion, ensuring clients feel supported, heard, and confident in their partnership.

This role is best suited for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes extreme ownership, and is motivated by measurable outcomes.

Your Impact

You will directly influence client retention, satisfaction, and revenue growth by maintaining strong relationships and anticipating issues before they escalate. Your work will help sustain near-zero churn across your portfolio while unlocking expansion opportunities through trust and performance.

Your ability to execute with care and urgency will compound long-term client value and strengthen the company’s reputation.
