The role
As an Expansion Account Manager, you will work cross-functionally, engaging with teams across Podium, including Sales, Product, Marketing, Finance, and Strategy. Your primary focus will be on driving growth within our existing customer base through upselling, cross-selling, and building strong multi-stakeholder relationships.

- Own your pipeline - maintain accurate forecasts, track performance, and provide clear visibility into expansion and product metrics.
- Partner with your CSMs to conduct warm handoffs and ensure smooth transitions for new customers entering your pod.
- Be a product expert, understanding setup requirements and key value drivers for each product to enable adoption and ROI.
- Oversee onboarding for new customers in your portfolio, ensuring a seamless and high-value experience.
What you should have:
- Experience in Customer Experience (CX) or Account Management, ideally with direct exposure to closing revenue through expansion or upsell opportunities.
- A strong commercial mindset comfortable discussing ROI, building business cases, and navigating multi-stakeholder buying decisions.
- Proven ability to identify at risk customers, drive adoption, and activate new opportunities within existing accounts.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment, adapting quickly to new products and priorities.
- Excellent presentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills, including at the executive level.
