Responsibilities
Own a high-impact book of business: Build trusted relationships with key stakeholders across your portfolio. Own the full upsell cycle while sustaining strong retention.
Drive revenue growth: Expand strategically through account growth and renewals—prioritize the highest-impact opportunities to exceed targets.

Drive expansion: Identify and prioritize upsell/cross-sell plays, run crisp discovery, deliver compelling demos, and negotiate to close. Simplify complex expansions and present clear ROI to champions and HR leaders.
