The Purpose of this role
We are looking for a strategic Head of Account Management to lead our Customer Success team and establish a high-performing account management function. While you will initially manage our CSMs, your core mission is to bring professional account management discipline to the business. You will be responsible for ensuring long-term retention and, crucially, identifying and securing expansion opportunities within our existing enterprise client base. We need a leader who can transition the team from a reactive support mindset to a proactive, commercially-led partnership model.
What You Will Do
Account Management & Strategic Growth
- Drive Retention and Expansion: Take full accountability for the commercial health of our client base. You will go beyond "keeping clients happy" by identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities that align with their business goals, driving net-revenue retention.
- Lead Complex Commercial Negotiations: Take the lead on high-value contract renewals and expansion discussions. You will navigate complex stakeholder environments within enterprise organisations to secure long-term commitments.
- Implement Structured Account Planning: Move the team away from "fire-fighting" by creating strategic account plans for our top-tier clients. These plans will map out client objectives and define a clear path for Uniqodo to deliver ongoing value.
- Oversee QBR Excellence: Standardise the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) process. A "good" QBR will demonstrate clear ROI, share industry benchmarks, and move the conversation from tactical support to strategic partnership.
Leadership & Team Excellence
1. Manage and Mentor the CSM Team: Provide direct leadership to the Customer Success Managers, coaching them to develop a more commercial "ear" for opportunities while maintaining excellent service delivery.
2. Ensure Delivery Excellence: Monitor customer health scores and platform usage data to identify risks early. You will ensure the team is proactive in resolving issues before they impact the commercial relationship.
Operational Efficiency & Automation
- Drive Scalable Efficiency: You will constantly look for ways to automate repetitive tasks within the account management lifecycle. "Good" looks like a team that can manage a growing book of business through better tooling rather than just adding more people.
- Leverage AI and Modern Tooling: Identify and implement AI-driven tools to assist with client reporting, sentiment analysis, or meeting summaries. You will be expected to lead the charge on how we utilise AI to make the team ten times more effective.
- Optimise the Tech Stack: Review and refine how we use HubSpot and other CS tools. You will ensure that data flows seamlessly so that the team spends their time on high-value strategy, not manual admin.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Inform Product Strategy: Act as a critical feedback loop, translating client requirements and market trends into actionable insights for the Product team to ensure our roadmap stays ahead of the competition.
- Collaborate with Marketing: Partner with the marketing team to turn client success stories into powerful case studies and sales enablement tools that demonstrate our impact on enterprise brands.
- Market Intelligence: Keep a pulse on the industry, translating competitor movements and market shifts into commercial strategies that protect and grow our market share.
About You
Required Skills and Experience
- Senior SaaS Account Management: Extensive experience in a senior account management or customer success leadership role, specifically within a B2B SaaS environment.
- Enterprise Expertise: A proven track record of managing and growing large-scale enterprise accounts, ideally within the retail, travel, or marketing technology sectors.
- Leadership & Coaching: Experience managing and developing teams, with a specific ability to transition teams toward commercial and growth-oriented goals.
- Commercial Gravitas: You are comfortable leading high-stakes commercial conversations, including renewals, contract negotiations, and identifying expansion revenue.
- Operational Discipline: You are highly organised and process-driven; you have experience using CRMs (like HubSpot) to manage pipelines and report on performance.
- Consultative Discovery: You possess a "discovery-first" mindset, using deep questioning to uncover client needs and business pain points.
- Automation & AI Enthusiast: You have a proven track record of (or a deep passion for) using automation and AI tools to create efficiencies. You don't view headcount as the primary solution to capacity problems.
Bonus Skills
- Scale-up Experience: Experience working in a high-growth environment where you have helped build or refine structure as the company evolves.
- Technical Curiosity: A natural inclination to understand "how it works," allowing you to translate technical features into value-driven benefits for non-technical stakeholders.
- Functional Design: Experience in designing and splitting out Customer Success and Account Management functions within a growing business.
