Collaborate with internal teams (Product, Sales, Solutions, Marketing, etc.) to ensure client feedback is translated into meaningful platform or service improvements.
Represent the needs, priorities, and insights from your territory across departments, influencing cross-functional decision-making, including product development.
Champion and lead wide-reaching, cross-functional Global Client Services initiatives—from ideation to rollout and ongoing measurement—that drive efficiencies, improve service quality, and elevate client outcomes.
Lead a team of Account Managers, ensuring alignment with StackAdapt’s objectives and growth goals.
Serve as a key decision-maker in blueprint planning and organizational design for your team and territory.
Foster the growth and development of Account Managers and Account Leads through coaching, mentorship, and strategic guidance.
