About the role:

This role sits within our Strategic Key Accounts team in New York and is focused on one of the largest, most strategically important partners in Rokt’s Entertainment vertical. As a Strategic Account Manager, you will act as a quarterback across product development, commercial strategy, and project execution: driving measurable growth, expanding product adoption, and building durable executive relationships across a complex, fast-moving account. This is a high-impact, high-trust, high-visibility role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, uses AI as a force multiplier, and brings the organization, commercial acumen, and technical fluency required to keep multiple workstreams moving with precision while helping Rokt deepen its foothold across the full Transaction Moment™.

What You'll Do:

  • Own day-to-day strategic account management for a major Entertainment partner, driving measurable growth, partner health, and expansion across multiple Rokt products.
  • Act as the quarterback across internal and external stakeholders, coordinating product, commercial, operational, and technical workstreams to ensure fast, precise execution.
  • Lead account planning and execution through disciplined use of Mutual Action Plans, Joint Business Plans, QBRs, and ongoing executive engagement.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with senior client stakeholders, including navigating high-pressure conversations with credibility, clarity, and commercial rigor.
  • Use data, structured analysis, and AI-enabled tools to identify growth opportunities, improve program management, accelerate decision-making, and continuously optimize account outcomes.

Requirements

About you:

  • 5+ years of experience in client success, strategic account management, consulting, partnerships, or a related customer-facing commercial role in a fast-paced technology, ecommerce, media, ticketing, travel, payments, or adjacent environment.
  • Strong technical and commercial acumen, with the ability to lead sophisticated product conversations, interpret data, partner cross-functionally with Product / Ops / Solutions / GTM, and translate complexity into clear client-facing recommendations.
  • Exceptional organizational and program management skills, with a proven ability to run multiple concurrent workstreams, maintain high standards under pressure, and create better process and operating rhythm in ambiguous environments.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to build trust with senior client stakeholders, influence cross-functional partners, and handle difficult or high-stakes conversations with composure.

Deep ownership mindset and strong Builder DNA: you move with urgency, prioritize ruthlessly, embrace AI as a force multiplier, adapt quickly to changing priorities, and are constantly looking for new ways to improve outcomes, scale best practices, and raise the bar.
