Account Manager (SMB)

What You’ll Do
Our Denver team is growing! The Account Manager is responsible for owning the full post-sale lifecycle for a set of customers from the moment they sign through their renewal. This role blends onboarding ownership with long-term account management. You will guide customers through setup, launch, early adoption, and ongoing success, ensuring they achieve fast time-to-value and remain successful and retained customers.  
You will run structured onboarding for the first 60 days, then continue as the primary relationship manager responsible for adoption, sentiment, value realization, renewal readiness, and churn prevention. You will identify risks early, build multi-threaded relationships, run health reviews, and execute a consistent renewal playbook.  This is a hands-on role for someone who loves helping customers win, shaping process, and driving measurable retention outcomes.
