Account Manager- Workforce Identity- East (NY/NJ/MD/DC)

About the role

The Account Manager (AM) is a senior-level, quota-carrying role responsible for the health, retention, and aggressive expansion of our most critical Employee Lifecycle relationships — both direct enterprise customers and platform partners.

This role exists to protect and grow that footprint along two fronts. The first is our direct enterprise customers; the second is our platform ecosystem. You will help work across both of these areas to grow business and extend the identity infrastructure for the employee lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Direct Account Growth & Retention

  • Quota Attainment: Carry and exceed a formal quota composed of renewal revenue (GRR), expansion (NRR), and partner-sourced bookings.
  • Land & Expand Strategy: Identify “white space” within current customers — additional lifecycle stages (pre-hire to post-hire), new business units, and worker populations — and build multi-year expansion plans that move accounts toward end-to-end coverage.
  • Renewal Excellence: Proactively manage the renewal process starting 180 days out, ensuring zero “dark” periods or budget lapses, and securing multi-year, “sticky” master service agreements.
  • Afford Adoption & Churn Mitigation: Identify at-risk accounts early by monitoring adoption health — proofing and authentication volumes, conversion, and program performance — alongside organizational changes such as security or HR leadership turnover, reorganizations, and M&A.

• Partner Co-Sell & Enablement

  • Own the Partner Relationship: Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned platform partners — building trusted, productive relationships with their sales, product, and leadership teams.
  • Co-Sell Execution: Partner with AEs to close pipeline sourced through partners, running joint deals from discovery to close and acting as the identity expert in front of the partner’s prospects and customers.
  • Partner Enablement: Train and equip partner sellers to position ID.me, generate qualified leads, and recognize identity opportunities within their own base — making it easy for them to bring us into their deals.
  • Grow the Partner’s Business: Help partners win and expand their own business with ID.me as a differentiator, and activate joint go-to-market — campaigns, webinars, and co-marketing — that builds pipeline for both sides.
  • Extend the Infrastructure: Leverage partner relationships to embed ID.me across more checkpoints of the hiring and employment lifecycle, expanding the shared identity infrastructure over time.

• Strategic Account & Partner Governance

  • Executive Alignment: Maintain and deepen relationships with decision-makers on both sides — CHROs, CISOs, and CIOs at customers, and sales, product, and leadership counterparts at partners — plus the operational owners who run programs day to day.
  • Executive Business Reviews (EBRs): Lead high-impact EBRs that translate performance data into measurable outcomes — fraud and nation-state attempts blocked, criminal records surfaced, faster time-to-hire, candidate conversion, reduced help-desk and operational costs, stronger compliance posture, and, for partners, co-sold revenue and pipeline.
  • Voice of the Customer & Partner: Act as a strategic liaison to our Product team, channeling structured feedback from both customers and partners that influences the roadmap based on real workforce needs.

Qualifications

• The Enterprise Veteran: 5+ years in a quota-carrying account management, customer success, or “hunter” sales role.
• Channel & Co-Sell Experience: Success co-selling with or managing technology platform partners, channel relationships, or alliances is preferred.
• Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with enterprise HR, security, and IT buyers and budgets, with a preference for experience in employment, hiring, identity, or security-related solutions.
• Quota Performance: A year-over-year track record of achieving quota, hitting retention targets, and being recognized as a top performer.
• Deal Complexity: Experience managing portfolios and closing opportunities with ACVs ranging from $100k to $1m+ on 6- to 12-month sales cycles.
• Methodology: Trained in leading sales methodologies (e.g., Command of the Sale, MEDDIC).
• Tooling: Experience with Salesforce.
• Startup Agility: Experience working for a team in a startup at a growth stage is highly desired.

Skills & Competencies

• Commercial Savvy: Ability to navigate complex enterprise organizations and holding companies, maintaining account stability through executive transitions.
• Analytical Growth Mindset: Skilled at mapping a large enterprise and building a multi-year plan to capture and drive growth.
• Partner Orchestration: Able to build trust with partner teams, align incentives, and run joint sales motions — making it easy and rewarding for partners to bring ID.me into their deals.
• Collaborative Leadership: Works closely with internal teams — Solutions Consulting, Marketing, Customer Success, and Product — to ensure customer satisfaction and long-term value realization.
• Consultative Problem Solving: Superb planning and time management skills, with the ability to understand customer pains and translate them into effective solutions.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to engage a broad range of audiences at all levels of an organization.
• Entrepreneurial Drive: An entrepreneurial personality capable of effectively solving problems with minimal guidance.
