About the role
Hi, I’m Tijani Jackson, Manager of Account Management at Customer.io, and I’m looking for an Account Manager to join our North America’s Team. This is a revenue ownership role - you’ll manage a portfolio of mid-market and enterprise accounts, driving renewals, identifying expansion opportunities, and building the kind of relationships that make customers want to grow with us. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team and a key commercial voice for the accounts you own.
This role is open to candidates based in the US or Canada only.
What we value
- Commercial ownership: you treat your book of business like it’s yours, because it is. You spot opportunities and challenges early, bring thoughtful recommendations to your manager, and take accountability for results
- Forecasting discipline and data-driven decision-making, not gut feel
- Multi-threaded relationships — you build trust across the org, not just with one champion
- Expansion through value, not feature gates or mechanical levers
- Close partnership with Customer Success — you see CS as a collaborator, not a handoff
What you’ll do
- Own the full commercial strategy for a portfolio of mid-market and enterprise accounts — renewals, expansion, and churn mitigation
- Drive growth by helping customers adopt Customer.io more strategically, identifying new use cases and articulating ROI clearly
- Forecast renewal and expansion pipeline accurately with a clear, repeatable methodology, maintaining strong CRM hygiene and reliable pipeline data
- Proactive pipeline generation and multi-threaded relationships - you actively uncover growth opportunities and build trust as a commercial advisor across the org, not just with one champion
- Partner closely with Customer Success on account health and with Sales on expansion deals
- Own commercial negotiations, navigate objections and complex deal cycles, and drive renewals and expansions to close, partnering with Legal, Finance, and other internal teams as needed
What we’re looking for
- 3+ years in Account Management, Sales, or a related SaaS commercial role with direct ownership of a revenue number (5+ years preferred)
- Experience managing $5m ARR, predominantly in the MM space
- Proven ability to grow customer spend outside of overages or true-ups — genuine expansion through adoption and value articulation
- A forecasting methodology you can walk through clearly — it doesn’t need to be a named framework, just logic you own
- Comfortable pulling usage data, tracking health scores, and building your own dashboards
- Strong communicator — clear and persuasive with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Based in the US or Canada
Compensation & Benefits
We believe in transparency. Starting salary for this role is $90,000 base + $39,000 variable = $129,000 OTE USD (or equivalent in local currency) depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.
We know our people are what make us great, and we’re committed to taking great care of them. Our inclusive benefits package supports your well-being and growth, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family.
