About the role: Client Impact at Upvest owns our clients' journey from signature to go-live and beyond, spanning Launch, Migrations, Account Management, Client Experience and Integration Success. Once a client is live, Account Management takes over: we own the relationship end to end, grow it commercially, run it strategically and make sure our clients see Upvest as a partner, not a vendor. Client satisfaction is one of the things that sets us apart from incumbents, and recommendations from our live clients have already been key to new wins.
We are looking for a Head of Account Management to lead this team and Upvest's live client portfolio, which includes some of Europe's best-known fintechs, neobrokers and banks. You will own the commercial development of the portfolio (renewals, upsell, ARR and revenue retention) and the senior relationships behind it, lead a team of senior Account Managers, and build the operating model that lets us scale. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will sit across the table from client C-levels yourself, not only manage the people who do.
