Senior Strategic Account Manager - Amsterdam Based (Hybrid)

Let's Talk about the role!
Business Value Realisation – Partner with customers to define success metrics, demonstrate measurable business outcomes, communicate ROI to executive stakeholders, and ensure CustomerGauge becomes a strategic partner rather than simply a software vendor.
Account Portfolio Management - manage your entire account portfolio, ensuring optimal client satisfaction and achieve assigned strategic account Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).
Strategic Account Management KPIs/OKRs - maintain a team Net Retention Rate of 105% while ensuring one touch per account each month and conducting 10 Impact Reviews per quarter with key client stakeholders.
Client Relationship Management - establish and nurture strong, long-term client relationships with strategic stakeholders and build trusted executive relationships across customer organisations, addressing queries and concerns promptly. Advocacy and Innovation - advocate solutions and innovative ideas to meet client needs and handle challenges and problems effectively, providing timely resolutions.
Liaison and Communication - act as the liaison between key customers and internal teams and identify and approach new potential strategic opportunities that increase customer value and long-term revenue.
Sales Performance Monitoring - monitor sales performance metrics and report on trends and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual reports and forecasts.
Upsell and Cross-Sell Opportunities - work with the commercial team to identify larger upsell and cross-sell opportunities and "Activate Promoters" for referral and further upsell opportunities.
Churn Risk Management - connect Executive Sponsors with high-value and strategic accounts to decrease churn risk while identifying churn risk in all accounts and proactively report/escalate where applicable. Develop proactive action plans for all accounts.
Collaboration and Development - collaborate with the Account Services team & other internal stakeholders to guide, assist, and develop partner accounts.
But it does not stop there; you are an evangelist, culture carrier, educator, communicator, have the ability to understand technical questions and communicate solutions. Maybe you’ll be on one of our podcasts talking about what you do or perhaps you’ll write up your tips and tricks on LinkedIn.
In CustomerGauge, you’ll have the headroom to develop your career - this role has traditionally led to some interesting promotion paths to product management, pre-sales engineering, education and maybe one day you may manage your own team. We’ll teach you the business, and we hope you can teach others.
