About the Role
Updater is seeking a commercially minded, highly strategic, and technically fluent Enterprise Accounts Director to own and grow a focused portfolio of our most important enterprise customers.
This is a senior, highly visible individual contributor role. You’ll become deeply embedded in your customers’ businesses, building trusted relationships with senior decision-makers, understanding their technical environments and strategic priorities, and developing account strategies that drive long-term partnership health, performance, and growth.
You’ll work closely with Sales on strategic accounts, help create continuity from late-stage sales through implementation and launch, and serve as the ongoing business owner for the relationship. We’re looking for someone who can navigate complex technical partnerships, challenge customers when needed, build compelling business cases, and turn strong relationships into meaningful commercial growth.
Key Responsibilities
Own Strategic Accounts
Serve as the senior relationship owner for a focused portfolio of large, complex enterprise accounts, developing strategies that drive long-term health, performance, retention, and growth.
Develop a deep understanding of each customer’s business model, technical environment, strategic priorities, organizational dynamics, and success metrics.
Build strong, trusted, multi-threaded relationships across customer organizations, from day-to-day operators and technical stakeholders to senior executives and decision-makers.
Anticipate changes in customer priorities, performance, and organizational dynamics that create opportunity or risk.
Manage Relationships Across the Customer Lifecycle
Partner with Sales in late-stage conversations to build customer context, understand commercial commitments, and create continuity through launch.
Partner with cross-functional teams through implementation and transition accounts successfully into ongoing strategic account management.
Serve as the primary business owner for accounts post-launch, aligning internal teams and driving complex initiatives, escalations, and decisions.
Drive Account Growth and Commercial Outcomes
Identify and develop opportunities to expand existing relationships across products, use cases, business units, customer experiences, and other areas of strategic value.
Build compelling business cases for expansion by connecting customer needs and performance data with Updater’s products and capabilities.
Proactively sell up within customer organizations, engaging senior decision-makers beyond day-to-day operational contacts.
Lead strategic commercial conversations around expansion, pricing, and other changes to the relationship.
Anticipate underperformance or relationship risk and develop clear strategies to improve outcomes.
Navigate Complex Enterprise Relationships
Develop a strong working understanding of Updater’s products, APIs, integrations, data flows, and customer workflows.
Translate technical capabilities and constraints into clear business implications for customers and internal stakeholders.
Drive complex partnership initiatives across Product, Engineering, Professional Services, Sales, and other internal teams.
Bring customer insights into internal decision-making while balancing customer needs with Updater’s product and commercial priorities.
Requirements
8–10+ years of experience across enterprise account management, strategic partnerships, enterprise sales, customer success, consulting, or a related commercially focused role.
Meaningful experience owning large, complex enterprise relationships involving software, APIs, integrations, embedded products, or other technically complex partnerships.
Demonstrated ability to move beyond day-to-day relationship management and develop strategic account plans that improve customer outcomes and create commercial growth.
