About the job

Requirements
  • At least 3 years of experience in software or SaaS account management, customer success, or a commercial growth role, with a proven record of consistently meeting or exceeding revenue and retention targets.
  • Proven experience managing renewal and expansion conversations, ideally against named commercial targets.
  • Ability to build trust with senior operations, production, and finance stakeholders in small and medium-sized businesses.
  • Confidence, organization, and structure in maintaining customer relationship management discipline and account planning.
  • Ability to operate independently and build a new function rather than follow an established process.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, results-driven environment where performance is measured by outcomes.
Responsibilities
  • Own and grow the full customer base of more than 700 small and medium-sized manufacturers across motorsport, aerospace, defence, electronics, and other sectors.
  • Build trusted relationships with production, operations, finance, and information technology stakeholders within existing accounts.
  • Develop and execute account plans focused on retention, licence expansion, and module growth.
  • Lead commercial conversations on renewals, upselling, and expansion, and own the related commercial numbers.
  • Meet or exceed quarterly and annual retention and expansion revenue targets set for the role.
  • Work with Support, Implementation, and Product to drive adoption and identify account expansion potential.
  • Identify accounts that are missing modules, including accounts link, quality, shop floor, debt collection, labour, and time and attendance, and build the case for adding them.
  • Understand subscription and perpetual licensing options to guide customers to an appropriate commercial fit as the business transitions toward subscription.
  • Maintain disciplined customer relationship management and forecasting in HubSpot, providing clear visibility of account health and pipeline.
  • Build account-management structure and processes across multiple products.
  • Support customers through the Javelin integration and transition to the new cloud platform.
  • Travel to customer sites across the United Kingdom, and occasionally farther afield, to build face-to-face relationships.
Desired Qualifications
  • Manufacturing sector experience is strongly preferred; understanding production environments or the ability to learn how they operate quickly is valued.
  • Experience with HubSpot or a similar customer relationship management system is a plus.

About the company

Banyan Software is a private investment firm that buys profitable, niche B2B software providers and keeps them under long-term ownership.

Banyan’s portfolio spans industries such as healthcare, education, legal, and public safety, all centered on essential software infrastructure. The company operates with a permanence mindset and aims to create long-term value, positioning itself as a trusted, mission-aligned partner for founders and families who want continuity rather than an exit.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • July 2026 HMM and Questi deals expand Banyan deeper into regulated healthcare and education.
  • June 2026 France office targets French VMS founders with ten hires by year-end.
  • Headcount rose to 1,967 by March 2026, showing hiring despite a 1.1% annual dip.

What critics are saying

  • A 2026 acquisition spree risks integration drift across 15 companies and 100-plus portfolios.
  • Founder-led autonomy creates succession risk when CEOs retire or lose momentum after deals.
  • Evergreen ownership blocks exit premiums; if growth stalls, Banyan faces permanent capital drag.

What makes Banyan Software unique

  • June 2026 France launch and €100 million envelope prove permanent capital scaling globally.
  • Banyan keeps founders like Simunix's John Lewis and ITG's Mauro Costa operating autonomously.
  • More than 100 portfolio companies give Banyan shared AI expertise across niche vertical software.
