  • Model accountability, preparation, and follow-through, setting a high standard for enterprise account ownership across the organization.
  • Stay deeply informed on trends in social, influencer marketing, and regulated industries to proactively advise clients. Gather and synthesize client feedback and market insights to inform product evolution and go-to-market strategy.
  • Represent Later externally at industry events, webinars, panels, and executive networking forums.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in strategic account management, customer success, or enterprise sales, with direct ownership of revenue retention and growth.
  • Proven experience working with enterprise brands in influencer or social marketing, ideally within regulated or highly restricted industries.
  • Demonstrated success navigating complex enterprise buying cycles and multi-stakeholder decision-making environments.
  • Track record of building trusted relationships with senior decision-makers and anticipating organizational changes.
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, with the ability to command executive-level conversations.

  • Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Marketing, Data, and Delivery teams.
  • Willingness to travel as needed to support key client relationships.

Skills
