Mission

The Senior Expansion AE’s mission is to drive incremental growth within a portfolio of ~75 selected parent accounts by identifying and closing expansion opportunities across existing customers and their subsidiaries.

Working in close partnership with Key Account Managers (KAMs) and dedicated SDRs, the Relationship Manager owns the expansion sales process and co-owns renewals, creating a coordinated customer experience while building relationships with senior decision-makers and uncovering new teams, use cases and opportunities for growth.

What you will be doing

Deliver against Expansion GMV and Net Revenue Retention (NRR) targets.

Own expansion on a focused portfolio of ~75 existing customer accounts, prioritising where there is room to grow: new teams, new use cases, upsell potential.

Co-own renewals with KAMs across the portfolio, identifying upsell opportunities and driving them through to close.

Own the expansion sales process end to end: identifying and qualifying opportunities, discovery, commercial conversations and closing.

Build trusted relationships with senior customer stakeholders, including C-level executives.

Develop and maintain account plans and stakeholder maps across parent accounts and relevant subsidiaries, in partnership with KAMs.

Manage the renewal upsell and expansion pipeline, keeping opportunity data and forecasts accurate and tracking progress against targets.

Lead executive business reviews alongside KAMs to align on customer objectives, demonstrate value and uncover future growth.

Partner closely with dedicated SDRs to coordinate prospecting and expansion activity within the portfolio. KAMs keep owning the core relationship and renewal; you own the expansion play.

Help shape and improve the expansion playbook as one of the first two people in the role, sharing learnings with KAM and SDR partners.

What you need to succeed

Proven B2B sales experience with a demonstrated record of performance, ideally in expansion and/or enterprise selling.

A hunter’s drive combined with a relationship builder’s patience: you open new doors and earn the trust to be invited back.

Confidence and credibility engaging senior stakeholders, including C-level executives.
