About the role
We are Rippling’s sherpas – both for our customers and colleagues. We bring our customers along on the journey as we rapidly enhance and expand the first-of-a-kind employee management platform. We’re looking for a self-driven, growth-minded account manager with a proven track record of success to join our hybrid-remote US-based Account Management team.
You are the primary relationship owner for each of your customers to guide them in optimizing the use of Rippling’s suite of back-office HR products and solutions. You will navigate complex customer issues and priorities and lead initiatives in your book to meet company objectives for customer adoption, retention, and revenue growth. Account managers in our Strategic segment own revenue retention and growth of our largest customers.
What you will do
- Ensure our customers in the HR Services channel are realizing value and expanding across the platform.
- Proactively engage customers in your book via key lifecycle events: “go live”, benefits renewal, executive business reviews, contract renewal, etc.
- You will field customer requests and lead initiatives in your book to meet company objectives for customer adoption, retention, and revenue growth.
- Consult with clients to understand their HR, IT, Finance, and global workforce management needs through a solutions-based selling approach.
- Navigate a sales process by building relationships with multiple stakeholders through remote meetings.
- Negotiate and coordinate customer procurement and contract execution
- Build and manage a pipeline of new subscription cross-sales, product upgrades, and contract renewals to quarterly targets.
- Develop and demonstrate a broad knowledge of current and new Rippling products via executing customer adoption playbooks and prospecting.
- Partner with your Technical Account Manager to devise account plans, long-term goals, and client strategies; and with cross-functional teams to ensure customer success and secure long-term commitments.
What you will need
- 4+ years of SaaS experience in account management, sales, or quota-carrying customer success
- Track record of consistently meeting and exceeding quota via new product sales and upgrades (license expansion sales are not likely relevant)
- Competitive and creative drive to win over customers and think outside the box to get a deal done
- Demonstrated ability to run a sales discovery and demo meeting and run a structured sales process
- Proven success building and maintaining long-term commercial relationships (experience managing multi-year renewals)
- Highly effective communicator with good people instincts – able to build trust and work well with a diverse group inside and outside the company
- Highly organized, self-motivated, and detail-oriented; great follow-through on projects/tasks big and small
- High integrity; enthusiastic about building a great company for the long term
- PEO or HCM experience a plus, but not required
