Hello! Thanks for checking out our job posting for the role of Senior Account Manager at PerchPeek. You’ve already taken a tiny step towards being a part of our team—huzzah! We know that taking your next career step is as exciting as it can be exhausting. So, with that in mind, we’ve tried to keep our description simple and cliché-free to help you decide if PerchPeek and this role are a good match for you.

What is PerchPeek?

Have you ever relocated before? Did you manage to do it without eye rolling or swearing? Or if you haven’t ever relocated, how do you feel about the prospect of figuring it all out on your own? Finding a place to stay, shipping your stuff, organising utilities and new bank accounts…the list of things to organise goes on and on. No matter where in the world you go, relocating is a complicated and messy process. PerchPeek was conceived to change that.

Our aim is to guide people through every stage of their relocation with a delightful combination of tech, relocation coaching, content & partnerships, which work together to remove the stress and make moving simpler and faster.

The Role

The Senior Account Manager will own and grow a portfolio of 8-10 enterprise clients, with responsibility for expanding PerchPeek's services from initial use cases to full enterprise adoption and a target of 3-4x annual revenue growth within your assigned accounts. A successful candidate for this role thrives in a complex, fast-paced environment, and has demonstrated excellence in account management or sales at the enterprise level.

Responsibilities

Whilst every role in a startup has a degree of flexibility over time, here is what we see as the role’s main responsibilities:

  • Quarterback Deals – Be responsible for revenue expansion within a portfolio of clients; manage complex end-to-end processes of sourcing, driving, and signing expansions & renewals for PerchPeek; convert small scale POCs/use cases into enterprise-wide engagements through strategic and methodical deal management.

  • Drive Account Progress & Health – Conduct monthly and quarterly business reviews with key stakeholders, map decision-makers, and track and report on account progress; drive clear processes with urgency and focus when opportunities are identified.
  • Be a Team Player –– Partner closely with Sales, Operations, and Product teams at PerchPeek, and with external partners’ cross-functional teams, to drive deals forward, manage escalations, and inform our roadmap.
  • Build the PerchPeek Network –: Develop and grow relationships with others in the Mobility industry; be a PerchPeek ambassador and represent PerchPeek at events (online/offline, owned and externally organized).
  • Be Customer Obsessed – Advocate for client needs while balancing against the needs and constraints of our business, by aggregating and delivering key insights across the organization in a structured and proactive manner.

Requirements

The type of person we think will be awesome at this will likely have the following range of qualities and experience:

  • 5+ years experience in high-complexity environments in an account management or account executive role where you’ve consistently attained a quota.
  • A demonstrated track record of exceptional relationship building; strong executive presence, with ability to influence and earn trust with stakeholders, ask the right questions, and use sound business judgment internally and externally.
  • A demonstrated track record of growing existing accounts and hitting revenue targets. 
  • Has consistently been a top performer within your teams and has demonstrated credibility with your internal stakeholders across functions.
  • Strong storytelling abilities, able to seek out relevant, meaningful data and build business cases to drive six figure deals & renewals.
  • An operational and action-biased mindset, with a demonstrated ability to work across complex enterprise structures with multiple stakeholders, through clear objective setting and diligent project management.
  • Open to Travel – we are a fully remote company, which means you’ll predominantly be able to work wherever you’d like. However, you should expect to travel 10-15 times per year for this role, whether that’s for client meetings, conferences, networking functions or staff events.

  • Experience working in consultative sales or selling managed services
