About the Role:

The Principal Account Manager, Strategic Accounts is a senior, quota-carrying individual contributor responsible for renewals and expansion within Netomi’s existing Strategic and Enterprise (Fortune 100) accounts. This role requires persistence and commercial judgment—someone who can navigate large, siloed organizations, secure buy-in across multiple executives and departments, and lead renewal and expansion sales cycles. You will own the post-sale commercial cycle from qualification through pricing, negotiation, contracting, and signature, partnering with the CSM who owns ongoing account strategy and customer success. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of Enterprise GenAI.

You'll be working with cutting-edge technology, a collaborative team, and real-world challenges that matter.

Core Strategic Pillars:

•
Commercial Ownership: Full commercial accountability for retention, renewals, and expansion for top-tier enterprise accounts, including a quota for renewals and expansion across assigned existing accounts.

• Enterprise Navigation: Understand the customer’s buying process, engage the stakeholders involved in commercial decisions, and navigate budget, procurement, and approval requirements to advance renewals and expansion.

• Commercial Roadmap: Defines the long-term commercial growth plan for renewals and expansion, aligned with the CSM-owned customer success roadmap and demonstrated business value.

• Executive Liaison: Serves as the primary commercial point of contact for economic buyers, budget owners, and procurement, translating complex AI technical capabilities into compelling business-value narratives.

Responsibilities:

•
Buying Process & Stakeholder Alignment: Identify the decision makers, budget owners, and procurement stakeholders for each renewal or expansion opportunity, and align on the requirements, approvals, and timeline needed to complete the purchase.

• Commercial Account Planning: Drive deep account penetration by developing, championing, and executing a multi-year commercial growth plan for renewals and expansion, aligned with the CSM-owned account strategy and customer success roadmap.

• Commercial Acumen / Renewals: Ownership over the financial health, expansion, and long-term commercial structure of the account, including renewal and expansion forecasting provided to Operations.

• Commercial Deal Leadership: The hands-on responsibility for structuring, driving, and governing complex renewal and expansion pursuits.

• Commercial Ownership & Execution: Lead the commercial cycle for the Netomi solution, coordinating technical validation, proposals, approvals, and customer buying activities through signature and post-close handoff. Delivery owns implementation execution.

• Executive Alignment: Translate complex AI capabilities and performance data into clear, compelling narratives to support investment decisions, commercial proposals, renewals, and expansion negotiations, using CS-validated value evidence.

• Expansion & Growth: Qualify and convert identified growth opportunities into signed expansion agreements, including new use cases, departments, and lines of business.

• Voice of the Customer: Advocate for the customer's commercial requirements and investment priorities, partnering with the CSM, who owns the broader customer success strategy and voice-of-customer feedback.

• Executive Advocacy & Communication: Serve as the executive-facing commercial leader for the account. Contribute commercial sections to CSM-owned Quarterly and Executive Business Reviews, if/when it makes sense.

• Strategic Commercial Leadership: Own and craft the commercial account growth plan and pursuit strategy, including purchasing milestones, investment decisions, and commercial success criteria. Engage the CSM and accountable delivery teams on dependencies affecting the sale.

• Commercial Strategy & Renewals: Take full accountability for the account's commercial health, qualifying and closing expansion opportunities (upselling/cross-selling), structuring agreements, and leading the entire renewal process. Execute the 12-month renewal process, and keep CS informed.

• Internal and External Executive: Serve as the escalation point for commercial roadblocks. Utilize superior negotiation, persistence, and problem-solving skills to overcome purchasing, contractual, or budget-based obstacles. Partner with the CSM on customer success risks and with Delivery on execution dependencies.

• Translating Strategy into Action: Translate complex AI capabilities and performance data into clear, concise, business-value-focused insights to support investment decisions, commercial proposals, renewals, and expansion negotiations, using CS-validated value evidence.

• Risk & Issue Resolution: Proactively identify budget, competitive, purchasing, and contractual risks within the customer's organization. Utilize superior negotiation, persistence, and problem-solving skills to protect retention and growth, escalating commercial decisions to Deal Desk and leadership as needed.
