  • Build and manage an accurate renewal forecast 90–120 days in advance.

Strategic Customer Leadership

  • Develop multi-threaded relationships across decision-makers, economic buyers, and operational leaders.
  • Enable internal champions with structured success plans, ROI articulation, and executive-ready materials.
  • Develop deep domain fluency in accounting firm operations and translate Karbon capabilities into strategic business outcomes.
  • Operate as a trusted advisor, diagnosing root causes of workflow inefficiencies and aligning product capabilities to measurable firm-level improvements.
  • Create and maintain structured Success Plans tied to customer KPIs and long-term growth objectives. 
  • Conduct executive-level business reviews to measure progress and unlock next best actions.

Risk & Retention Excellence

  • Proactively identify churn indicators through behavioral data, health metrics, and qualitative insight.
  • Develop structured save plans with clear ROI articulation and executive alignment when risk emerges.
  • Contribute to scalable retention methodologies as Karbon grows.

Cross-Functional Influence

  • Partner with Sales to support expansion strategy and complex renewal negotiations where needed.
  • Collaborate with Implementation, Support, and Education teams to ensure seamless customer experience across the lifecycle.
  • Translate customer insights into structured, data-backed feedback for Product and Engineering, influencing roadmap priorities.
  • Collaborate with Marketing to inform industry-specific messaging and thought leadership grounded in real customer outcomes.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment to remove friction and deliver measurable customer outcomes.

AI & Data Fluency

  • Leverage AI-driven tools and usage analytics to identify expansion opportunities, risk signals, and productivity gains.
  • Operate in a metrics-rich environment, using dashboards and insights to prioritize next best actions across your portfolio.

About You!

  • Based in the US or Canada and experienced working within distributed, global teams.
  • 7+ years of experience in B2B SaaS, ideally within accounting or professional services software.
  • Proven track record of owning renewals and driving measurable expansion revenue within complex accounts.
  • Strong executive communication skills with the ability to influence firm leaders and articulate ROI clearly and confidently.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage a portfolio with commercial rigor, strategic depth, and disciplined prioritization.
  • Proficiency with CRM, Customer Success platforms, forecasting tools, and analytics systems.
  • Comfortable operating in a data-driven environment.
  • Strong program management capability across cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Willingness to travel periodically for strategic customer engagements and industry events.
