As an Enterprise Account Manager, you are highly specialized in building the strategic relationships that result in the expansion and growth of our largest accounts.
Your job is to work closely with our customers throughout every step of their journey with us to drive the success and continued growth of our business. You are solely responsible for building positive exec relationships and communicating the value of Street Context that will lead to expansion opportunities in the accounts you hold. You carry targets in the form of expansion ARR.
You will work with your peers and manager to identify attractive opportunities at existing firms and develop a prospecting strategy for each of those accounts. As these will be larger accounts you will be developing a multi-faceted approach, leveraging several touch points and strategies.
You will take initiative to create long-term strategies, account plans, and recommendations to exec sponsors. These recommendations will be built using your business acumen, an understanding of the exec sponsors and customers, and an understanding of the value Street Context can provide their organization.
You will act as an advisor and consultant externally, as well as a customer advocate internally at Street Context. This is a cross-functional role that requires collaboration with product, marketing, sales, and client services to bring forward the voice of our customers for the best possible outcomes.
As a foundation, you will need to familiarize yourself and continually update your understanding of the market we operate in, our users’ workflows, and how we fit into the broader enterprise on the sell side. Additionally, you’ll become a product expert, understanding how the Street Context offering augments the users, managers, and broader enterprise, and how to effectively convey the value proposition of our products.
Thematic Responsibilities
- Expanding & Saturating Current Accounts: Develop and communicate goal alignment and achievement with exec sponsors. Negotiate contracts, own the entire renewal process, and have the ability to identify areas for growth and expansion (users, new products/features, etc) and execute on them.
- Building Stakeholder Relationships: Manage and maintain trusted, long-lasting relationships with key accounts, stakeholders and executive sponsors. Build these relationships high and wide within the organization (relationship ROI) and provide quarterly updates on successes, areas of improvement, and next steps (QBRs).

- Acting as the Voice of Our Customers: Be the internal voice of the customer and create a continuous feedback loop to advocate for our customers’ needs. Assist with challenging client requests or issue escalations as needed.

- Monitoring & Evaluating Account Health: Forecast and track key account metrics (e.g. quarterly expansion opportunities and annual forecasts). Prepare reports on account status to communicate to internal leadership. Clearly communicate the progress of monthly/quarterly initiatives to internal and external stakeholders.
- Continual education and training: As the Street Context offering and the broader industry evolve, you’ll be responsible for leveraging internal and external resources to continually educate and train yourself, equipping yourself with the knowledge and tools to effectively communicate and sell Street Context.
