Cascade AI is hiring a Senior Account Manager to own renewals, expansion, and strategic account growth across our existing customer base. This is a commercially oriented role focused on revenue retention and growth within existing logos.

About the role

This is a revenue-carrying account ownership role focused on:

  • Re-selling into the same organization
  • Expanding into new departments (HR → IT, Legal, Finance)
  • Strengthening executive relationships
  • Driving renewal confidence

You will operate as the commercial owner of your accounts post-sale. This role is not responsible for implementation, which is owned separately.

Responsibilities

  • Own Renewals
    • Manage renewal timelines and negotiation strategy
    • Identify risks early and create mitigation plans
    • Ensure customers clearly understand value delivered
    • Forecast accurately and maintain strong renewal hygiene
  • Drive Expansion Within Accounts
    • Map accounts across departments and stakeholder groups
    • Identify new workflow and use-case expansion opportunities
    • Position Cascade’s value to new executive buyers
    • Partner with AEs where appropriate to close larger expansions

    Expansion at Cascade often means entering new departments, not just increasing seat counts. This requires strategic navigation and commercial skill.

  • Lead QBRs & Executive Conversations
    • Run structured Quarterly Business Reviews
    • Anchor discussions in value, ROI, adoption, and roadmap alignment
    • Build relationships beyond day-to-day users
    • Multi-thread across HR, IT, Finance, Legal, and other stakeholders
  • Drive Adoption & Account Health
    • Monitor usage and engagement data
    • Recommend actions to improve adoption and workflow integration
    • Work closely with Implementation to ensure time-to-value
    • Identify and qualify expansion signals within accounts
  • Account Strategy & Mapping

    For each account, you will maintain:

    • Executive stakeholder map
    • Expansion pathways
    • Risk assessment and mitigation plan
    • Quarterly action plan

    You should be able to clearly articulate:

    • Where growth will come from
    • What risks exist
    • What next steps are required
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

    You will work closely with:

    • CEO, Sales, and Marketing (for larger expansions or joint selling motions)
    • CS Implementation for onboarding and complex rollout support
    • Product & Engineering to communicate strategic customer feedback

    This role requires influence without formal authority.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in Account Management, Strategic CSM, or post-sale revenue roles
  • Experience owning renewals and expansion quotas
  • Comfortable navigating enterprise stakeholders
  • Strong account mapping and multi-threading skills
  • Confident running executive-level conversations
  • Commercially minded and revenue-oriented
  • 3+ years of work experience with renewals
  • 4+ years of work experience with B2B Software
  • 3+ years of work experience with expansions
  • Working in an onsite setting

Bonus:

  • Experience selling across departments within the same organization
  • Experience in B2B SaaS, HR tech, IT systems, or enterprise AI
