We are currently looking to hire a Key Account Manager to join our Corporate Team in Kirkland, WA! This is a hybrid role, and candidates must be located in the greater Seattle area.
*This is a full-time position. Standard business hours are Monday through Friday; however, flexibility is required to meet client needs, including evenings and weekends.
JOB DESCRIPTION
This is a senior, relationship-first position. You'll be the accountable owner for one or more of our most valuable clients, responsible for their satisfaction, the health of their accounts, and their long-term growth. You'll work closely with Business Development, Service Delivery Teams, and Finance, but your job is distinct from all three: you're the integrator, the advocate, and the strategic partner our major clients deserve.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Serve as the primary relationship owner for assigned client accounts, maintaining continuity, building trust, and ensuring clients have a clear internal point of contact outside of live operational delivery.
- Develop and maintain a Strategic Account Growth Plan for each client, identifying opportunities to add value through additional services or capabilities.
- Accountable for revenue growth and retention/satisfaction of the assigned accounts. Identify, qualify, and surface account-growth opportunities, and collaborate with Sales to support commercial execution.
- Monitor account performance and maintain visibility into gross profit margin (GPM) by service line and contract to ensure the financial health of the account.
- Identify and proactively address margin leakage, scope creep, or pricing risks to protect account profitability.
- Coordinate cross-functionally with Business Development, Operations/Service Delivery, and Finance to ensure a cohesive and consistent client experience.
- Lead client-facing communication and follow-up when operational issues arise, ensuring timely resolution and maintaining client confidence.
- Proactively manage account lifecycle activities, including contract renewals and strategic planning, to support long-term client retention and growth.
- Manage multiple high-value client relationships simultaneously while maintaining strong organization, communication, and follow-through.
- This position requires up to 25% travel.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Degree or Certificate in Business Administration or a related field required, such as Finance, Economics, Management, or a similar business discipline.
- 7-10+ years of account management experience, preferably in a complex B2B services environment, with responsibility for managing senior client relationships end-to-end.
- Strong commercial acumen, including the ability to interpret financial performance indicators such as P&L and margin, and engage in discussions related to scope, pricing, and value delivery.
- Proven ability to build strong, customer-centric relationships, with a focus on understanding client needs, challenges, and long-term partnership opportunities.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence stakeholders across departments without direct authority.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to establish credibility and trust with both clients and internal teams.
- Highly organized and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple high-value client accounts simultaneously.
- Project management or program management experience preferred.
- Experience in security, risk, or professional services sectors is a plus, but not required.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Direct sales experience strongly preferred, with a demonstrated track record of growing existing accounts through strategic relationship management and opportunity identification.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
