## Job Description

## What you'll do

- Understand customers' technical roadmaps to proactively identify expansion opportunities
- Drive upsells, cross-sells, and multi-team rollouts across existing accounts
- Partner with Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to deliver customer outcomes
- Communicate customer insights and feature requests internally — your proximity to customers makes you a critical voice in the product roadmap
- Lead account planning, run QBRs, and develop growth strategies for your accounts
- Maintain accurate pipeline and revenue forecasting in HubSpot
- Help build the post-sales and expansion playbook for North America in a fast-growing GTM organisation

## Who we're looking for

- Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-growth start-up environment
- Experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar CRM tools

- 2–5 years of experience in account management, customer success, or a post-sales commercial role within B2B SaaS or technology
- Proven track record of owning and growing a book of business, with demonstrable success hitting or exceeding net revenue retention or expansion targets
- Experience managing mid-to-large ACV accounts ($50K–$250K+) across multi-stakeholder organisations
- Confidence engaging with technical buyers — including ML engineers, data scientists, and engineering leads — and translating their needs into commercial outcomes
- Familiarity with structured account planning, QBR delivery, and pipeline forecasting using CRM tools such as HubSpot or Salesforce
- Experience working in a high-growth start-up or scale-up environment preferred
- Exposure to developer tools, data infrastructure, or ML/AI platforms is a strong advantage
