About Mixpanel

Mixpanel is an event analytics platform for builders who need answers from their data at their fingertips—no SQL required. When everyone in the organization can see and learn from the impact of their work on product, marketing, and company revenue metrics, they are poised to make better decisions.

Over 9,000 paid customers, including companies like Netflix, Pinterest, Sweetgreen, and Samsara, use Mixpanel to understand their customers and measure progress. Our commitment is to provide the most comprehensive and reliable analytics platform accessible and trusted by all.

About the Account Team

Our Account teams manage the full post-sales lifecycle, helping existing customers leverage Mixpanel to analyze, measure, and improve their products. The Mixpanel team who manages the lifecycle of our top Strategic accounts consists of two roles:

• Account Managers are responsible for nurturing and driving adoption & utilization in an account, and then expanding our existing footprint. They focus on value realization, executive relationships, renewals, and strategic expansions. They identify new business units or teams who could get value from Mixpanel, navigate to decision makers in those groups, then run the sales motion to land those expansion opportunities.
• Customer Success Architects work with the AM to implement and onboard customers across a shared book of business, driving adoption and utilization and organically growing our most strategic accounts. They are usually the primary technical contact, and interact with customer users and stakeholders on a daily basis to ensure they are leveraging Mixpanel to the fullest. The CSA also often acts as a connection point to Mixpanel’s Product and Engineering teams who support our largest customers.
