Role overview
Your job is simple to say, hard to do: help create the growth and development environment where Account Management leaders can become world-class coaches. You do that by spotting what works, sharpening how managers coach, and turning good ideas into repeatable habits on the team.
You embed in and align with the Inside, Field, and National Account Management teams as a peer resource to our managers. You help them see the work more clearly, coach more directly, and use our tools and frameworks the right way.
This is a high‑visibility role. People across the Revenue organization will see and know your work. You’ll have the opportunity to lead large group trainings, team specific workshops, and small group coaching sessions we call “Growth Labs”.
What you'll do
- Pick the right problems. Use churn performance data, client engagement data, and live conversational insights to find the biggest wins for Account Management teams. Turn those into clear coaching opportunities that support our revenue objectives.
- Make our Engagement Frameworks Real: Help managers coach their teams with our Value‑Based Selling & Servicing frameworks.
- Coach the coaches: Join manager coaching sessions, listen to calls, and help leaders turn fuzzy feedback into sharp coaching moments they can repeat every week.
- Stand up simple routines. Build light, repeatable cadences—scorecards, check‑ins, labs—that help managers watch the right numbers and the right calls without drowning in dashboards.
- Support onboarding. Work with Enablement and Revenue Onboarding so new AMs learn our customers, tools, and playbooks the same way, every time.
- Tell the story. Share what’s working and what’s not with directors and cross‑functional partners in plain language: here’s the problem, here’s what we tried, here’s what changed and here’s what we learned.
What you'll bring
- You’ve developed in a quota‑carrying B2B Account Management, Customer Success, or Sales role and performed in the top 25% of your peer set. You know what good looks like on the floor.
- You’ve run books of business, managed renewals or expansions, and lived with a target. You care about churn, deal health, and product mix because you’ve been paid on them.
- You may or may not carry the title today, but you think like a manager. You’ve led pods, mentored reps, or managed teams and want to spend more of your day making other people better. (Direct people‑management experience is preferred.)
- You can push leaders and partners without a title. You’ve influenced cross‑functional stakeholders without direct authority.
- You’re comfortable in Salesforce, and Call Intelligence platforms like Gong. You can pull your own views, spot a pattern, and turn it into a simple coaching prompt or checklist.
- You speak and write in plain language. Short sentences with actionable insights and clear asks.
- You like being where the action is. You’re expected to meet and exceed 60% in‑office time and you use that time to sit with managers, join meetings, and listen to calls.
If you like solving hard problems with managers, care about growing our dealer business, and enjoy turning good reps and leaders into great ones, this role is for you.
