About the Role
 
We’re hiring a Strategic Account Manager to own and grow a portfolio of enterprise customers. In this role, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to senior marketing leaders, ensuring BrightEdge delivers ongoing, quantifiable value and remains a critical part of their digital strategy. This is a quota-carrying role for someone who thrives in executive conversations, understands how to prove ROI, and takes pride in retaining and expanding long-term customer relationships. 

How you'll spend your time:

  • Own a book of business consisting of enterprise and mid-market BrightEdge customers, acting as their primary commercial point of contact.
  • Lead executive-level conversations with VP- and C-level marketing leaders to demonstrate value, align on outcomes, and secure renewals.
  • Proactively manage the full account lifecycle, including renewals, upsells, and expansion opportunities, including multi-threading and hunting within your accounts. 
  • Translate BrightEdge performance data into compelling narratives and presentations that clearly show ROI and business impact.
  • Partner closely with Customer Success Managers to drive adoption, performance, and long-term customer health.
  • Consistently forecast, manage, and close against a monthly retention and expansion quota.

What you’ll bring:

    • 1–2 years of closing experience in a quota-carrying SaaS Account Management or New Business role (MarTech experience strongly preferred) 

    • Proven track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets, ideally tied to MRR, renewals, or expansion 

    • Comfort leading strategic conversations with senior executives and influencing stakeholders at multiple levels 

    • Strong presentation and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate data into clear business value 

    • Experience managing a sales cycle end-to-end using a CRM (Salesforce preferred) 

    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong organization and time-management abilities 

    • Bachelor’s degree required 

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and bonus 
  • Comprehensive benefits (including BUPA healthcare) 
  • Fully stocked kitchens 
  • Social events 
  • Opportunity to expand your experience and knowledge 
  • Smart and fun colleagues 
  • Central London location (Labs Holborn) 
  • Working in a fast-paced environment where you can make a difference
