About the Role

As an Account Manager (SAM), you will be responsible for driving new business in our existing customer base. It is the job of the SAM to ensure that anyone in their sales organization that could potentially use Groove, IS using Groove - this might include introducing Groove to their sales engineering team or their customer success managers. In tandem, it is the SAM’s responsibility to build Groove’s footprint by introducing them to new product add-ons. The SAM may be introduced into an account by the Customer Success Manager, but frequently the SAM may need to reach out directly to the customer and build new relationships outside of our champion to create consensus and drive new opportunities to use Groove.

This is a quota-carrying role, albeit in our post-sales organization rather than our pre-sales organization.
