Account Director, Farming

Overview
We’re looking for an Account Director who thrives on growing existing relationships, expanding footprint within accounts, and driving long-term customer value. This role is built for someone who takes a thoughtful, consultative approach to sales—uncovering opportunities, navigating complex organizations, and turning satisfied customers into strategic partners.

What You’ll Do: 
  • Own and grow a portfolio of existing customer accounts, focusing on expansion, upsell, and long-term value creation
  • Overcome churn through helping the client see how the solution is solving business issues 
  • Build and maintain multi-threaded relationships across cybersecurity, IT, and procurement stakeholders
  • Identify and develop new opportunities within existing accounts through a consultative, insight-driven sales approach
  • Manage the full sales cycle end-to-end, with typical deal cycles around 6 months
  • Partner closely with Sales Engineers and internal teams to deliver tailored solutions and drive deal progression
  • Maintain a strong understanding of customer goals and align solutions to their evolving business needs
  • Execute account plans that drive retention, growth, and customer satisfaction
What You'll Bring: 
  • Proven success in account management, account growth, or expansion-focused sales roles
  • Ability to navigate and influence multiple stakeholders within complex organizations
  • Strong consultative selling skills with a focus on relationship-building and value discovery
  • Experience managing mid-length sales cycles (4–8 months) and owning deals end-to-end
  • Comfort working within a defined territory of existing accounts, with a strategic mindset toward growth
  • Experience in cybersecurity, SaaS, or enterprise technology is a plus
Why This Role

If you enjoy developing accounts over time, uncovering hidden opportunities, and building lasting customer partnerships, this role offers the chance to make a measurable impact in a high-growth environment—without the pressure of a pure hunting motion.
