Retention, expansion and coverage at scale drive growth here.You’ll lead a team of 6–8 Account Managers, each owning a book of Tier 2 and Tier 3 clients, and a small number of Account Executives winning new clients in the same tiers.
You’ll own renewals and net retention for the segment, build a repeatable operating rhythm across a high volume of accounts, and grow a team within our newly tiered sales organization.This is a hands-on leadership role reporting to the Head of Sales, EMEA & APAC.
You’ll combine coaching with disciplined pipeline and forecast management, and you’ll be accountable for how your team performs against its number.
