Travel globally across the US, Europe, APAC, and LATAM to support customers and drive relationships.

Experience as a Consultant, Chief of Staff, or Finance Associate at a fast-paced startup.
Strong project management track record in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
Demonstrated ability to manage customer relationships end-to-end to drive revenue ramp and reduce churn.
Experience building and scaling an Account Management function, including onboarding, upsell motions, and KPI-based success metrics.
