You will own... 

Client Relationships and Advisory Presence

• Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned clients, building trusted relationships with client stakeholders ranging from IT managers to C-suite executives.
• Become a strategic partner by learning each client's business model, goals, IT stack, and pain points, so recommendations are grounded in their reality.
• Maintain a clear view of client health across your book: flag at-risk accounts early, develop recovery plans, and escalate where needed.
• Champion a high-touch, consultative client experience from onboarding through renewal.

Retention and Growth

• Own net revenue retention for an assigned book of business, including renewals, expansion, and churn prevention.
• Lead upsell and cross-sell conversations that are advisory in nature, positioning solutions that align with client needs and create genuine additional value.
• Identify and nurture account expansion opportunities proactively, maintaining a pipeline that gives the delivery team a consistent backlog to pull from.

Business Reviews and Roadmap Planning

• Lead regular Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and strategy sessions, including usage reports and forward-looking roadmap planning with clients.
• Build technology roadmaps that align client business goals with a prioritized plan, translating technical recommendations into business terms such as risk and ROI.
• Maintain working knowledge of core technology areas, including endpoint protection, identity and access management, backup and disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 and Azure, network infrastructure, and relevant compliance frameworks, to stay credible in technical discussions.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work cross-functionally with service delivery, technical support, and sales to resolve issues and advocate for client needs.
• Collect, analyze, and use client data throughout the relationship, from onboarding through ongoing consultations, to ensure clients are fully engaged and getting the value they expect.
• Provide regular feedback to leadership on trends, service gaps, and opportunities, and support efforts to make client success processes repeatable and scalable.

Our ideal Account Manager has the following qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in account management, client success, or a comparable B2B client-facing role.
• Familiarity with IT services, MSP environments, or technical support workflows is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated track record of owning and growing a book of business: retaining clients, expanding revenue, and managing renewals with accountability for outcomes.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills with stakeholders ranging from IT managers to C-suite executives.
• Confidence leading upsell and cross-sell conversations that are consultative rather than transactional.
• Working knowledge of technology road mapping and business reviews.
• Proficiency with HubSpot or a comparable CRM; ConnectWise or PSA experience preferred.
• Strong organizational discipline across a multi-client portfolio: you manage cadences, follow through consistently, and do not drop details.
• A proactive disposition: you identify risk before it becomes churn and find opportunity before clients ask.

The targeted base compensation for this role is $90,000.  This role operates out of Knoxville, TN in a hybrid model and includes regular in-person client meetings.

If you are a post-sale leader who builds trust face to face, knows how to turn client relationships into long-term partnerships, and wants to build something, not just manage it, we would like to talk.
