About the role
We're looking for a Senior Account Manager to own client relationships, delivery, and retention across a slate of accounts at a fast-moving B2B GTM content studio. You will be the person clients rely on from the day a deal is signed through renewal, and the person who holds the delivery team accountable to them.
You are measured on retention. The founder is currently in the middle of every client relationship — this role removes that ceiling. If you have owned accounts end to end, kept multi-workstream engagements on track with cross-functional teams, and can walk into a room with a senior marketing executive without a technical co-pilot, this role is a strong fit.
Why You'll Want to Join
You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
This role requires availability during US business hours
Work inside a results-accountable GTM content studio serving B2B companies from Series A through Series C
Senior client-facing role with real ownership over program delivery, client retention, and account growth
What You'll Work On
Client Relationship Ownership
Own every client relationship end to end from signature through renewal
Every client request routes through you — you are accountable for momentum, communication, and making sure nothing the client is waiting on quietly stalls
Build the case for continued engagement and conversion to recurring work from the beginning of every engagement, not in the last two weeks
Understand each client's business well enough to see what they should be doing next and say so before they ask
Retention and Conversion
Keeping the account is the job — retention is the primary metric this role is measured against
On fixed-term engagements, conversion to a recurring retainer is designed in from kickoff
Manage two types of accounts simultaneously: fixed-term research engagements that must convert to recurring work, and monthly retainer clients that must keep proving their value against the invoice
Cadence and Visible Progress
Run a weekly client call, weekly status update, and live tracker that is always current
Deliver a first progress update within the first few days of an engagement and get real work in front of the client by the end of week one
A client who does not know where things stand will assume the worst — your job is to make sure that never happens
Requirements
- ·Proven end-to-end client relationship ownership with a track record previous clients can speak to by name and outcome
- ·Experience running multi-workstream engagements with a cross-functional delivery team, and a clear record of being the one who kept the timeline honest
- ·Ability to hold a room with senior executives without a technical co-pilot — comfortable delivering bad news, challenging a client's plan, and being treated as an advisor rather than a vendor
- ·A specific account growth story: the largest account grown, from what number to what number, and the result that earned each step up
- ·A client recovery story: a client who was slipping, the first signal, and what happened in the 48 hours after that signal was spotted
