Job Description

About the Role

As a Strategic Account Manager, you'll be the primary point of contact for a portfolio of client accounts — responsible for the health, growth, and long-term success of those relationships. This is a business-facing, relationship-driven role rather than a sales-quota role: you'll work closely with clients to understand their evolving needs, identify opportunities for expansion, and ensure they're realizing full value from our solutions. It's an ideal next step for someone with a product, delivery, or customer success background who wants to move further into the commercial/business side without becoming a pure salesperson. A background in pharma/life sciences is highly valued, as a meaningful portion of our client base is in that industry.

What You'll Do

  • Own and manage a portfolio of client accounts across industries, acting as their primary strategic contact
  • Build deep, trusted relationships with client stakeholders across business and technical functions
  • Understand each client's business goals and proactively identify opportunities to expand value and scope
  • Partner with Product, Delivery, and Support teams to ensure client needs are reflected in roadmap and execution
  • Lead business reviews, account planning, and renewal conversations
  • Monitor account health, satisfaction, and usage, and address risks before they escalate
  • Identify and shape upsell/cross-sell opportunities in partnership with commercial leadership (without owning cold outbound sales)
  • Represent the voice of the client internally, influencing product and delivery decisions
  • Adapt client engagement approach based on each account's industry context, including pharma/regulated environments where relevant

What We're Looking For

  • 3-5 years of experience in a commercial, account management, client-facing, or product/customer success role
  • Background or hands-on experience in the pharmaceutical or life sciences industry
  • Experience managing multiple accounts or relationships simultaneously
  • Comfortable operating on the business/commercial side — identifying growth opportunities and driving value conversations — without being a pure sales role
  • Excellent relationship-building, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to bridge technical/product understanding with commercial strategy (background as a Product Owner, CSM, or similar is a plus)
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (Business, Life Sciences, or related)

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience at a pharma company, CRO, or software vendor serving the pharma/life sciences industry
  • Background transitioning from a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or Customer Success role into a more commercial function
  • Familiarity with CRM and account management tools
  • Experience working across clients in multiple industries or regulated environments

Why Join Us

  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • A genuine business-side role — grow accounts without cold sales pressure
  • Diverse portfolio of clients across industries, including pharma/life sciences
  • Collaborative, growth-oriented team culture
