## About the role

Take full ownership of your accounts' adoption and expansion, with compensation directly tied to their growth. Develop account plans, maintain an accurate view of the pipeline, and navigate conversations around scope and pricing. Your goal is to build successful, lasting customer relationships that expand into new use cases and teams.

## What they're looking for

- You've owned commercial outcomes before: adoption, renewal, expansion, or quota in some form, not just delivery
- Experience in account management, technical account management, or a customer-facing role where the relationship's health was your job
- You've done deployment, implementation, or technical work where you owned a technical outcome, not just a relationship. Solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, technical customer success, or similar
- You can hold a room of stakeholders with different incentives, a champion, a skeptic, a validator, and get them aligned on what evidence would change their mind
- You have product instincts: you can tell the difference between a one-off customer ask and a gap worth closing, and you're comfortable making that case to the product team
- You're honest about tradeoffs out loud, including when you're wrong
