About The Position

As a Senior Account Manager at Help Scout, you'll take true end-to-end ownership of a portfolio of 130–150 accounts, building trusted relationships with the key stakeholders who rely on Help Scout every day. You’ll bring strong commercial judgment to every stage of the customer lifecycle, balancing customer needs, long-term value, and Help Scout’s business goals as you lead renewals and identify opportunities for revenue growth. You'll help them reach their support goals, keep their experience smooth and impactful, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Whether it's an optimization review, a strategic check-in, or a well-timed follow-up, you'll be the kind of partner they can count on — and the kind of teammate who sees around corners before problems arise. You'll also be their internal advocate, bringing what you learn in customer conversations to help us build a better product, strengthen onboarding, and shape how we grow as a team. If you're energized by full ownership, love finding efficiencies (including through AI-powered tools), and take pride in the kind of disciplined follow-through that builds long-term trust, you'll thrive here.

Requirements

• A sales-forward Account Manager with 5+ years of quota-carrying experience in SaaS, consistently driving renewals, expansions, and upsells with strategic accounts.
• Strong commercial judgment. Comfortable evaluating customer needs, usage, business value, and account context to develop thoughtful proposals and guide productive pricing and renewal conversations.
• Comfortable owning a book of 130–150 accounts and thrive in high-volume environments — you stay organized, keep your pipeline clean, and take pride in the fact that nothing slips through.
• Comfortable owning the full renewal and expansion process. You can lead discovery, present recommendations, negotiate confidently, coordinate internal approvals, and guide an opportunity through to close.
• Think and act like a true owner. You proactively identify risks and opportunities, develop a clear plan, and communicate early enough for the team to take meaningful action.
• Strong cross-functional partner. You know how to work alongside Product, Marketing, and other teams — not just escalate to them — and you bring the customer perspective in a way that influences decisions.
• Comfortable building and maintaining your own revenue projections, and you communicate risks and opportunities clearly to leadership without needing hand-holding.
• Excited about how AI can transform your work. You look for ways to design smarter processes, reduce manual overhead, and spend your time where it matters most.
• A consultative, value-based approach that helps customers connect their goals to the best of what Help Scout offers — and you're excited to help shape a growing team.
• Technical aptitude. Comfortable learning and navigating complex software. You pick up new tools and platforms quickly.

Responsibilities

• Forecast and track your own revenue goals. You’ll identify risks and opportunities in each account and share clear, proactive signals with finance and leadership teams.
• Own the full commercial process for renewals and expansions. You’ll lead discovery, develop thoughtful proposals, navigate pricing and contract conversations, coordinate procurement, and move opportunities through to close.
• Exercise sound commercial judgment. You’ll use customer goals, product usage, account history, and business value to shape recommendations that support both the customer relationship and Help Scout’s growth.
• Drive adoption and engagement through regular calls, optimization reviews, and QBRs, surfacing underused features and identifying paths to stronger product alignment.
• Partner closely with Product and cross-functional teams, bringing the voice of the customer into go-to-market meetings, roadmap discussions, and company-wide decisions.
• Maintain ownership across cross-functional work. You’ll bring in the right internal partners when needed while continuing to coordinate next steps, communicate with the customer, and ensure the work reaches a clear outcome.
• Design and continuously improve your own workflows. You have freedom and support here leverage AI tools to create efficiencies and ensure nothing gets dropped across a large, active book of business.
• Act as the connective tissue between customers and internal teams. You’ll think ahead, anticipate what’s coming, and ensure clear communication, seamless coordination, and consistent follow-through.
