Your mission

As Director of Key Account Management at BuildingMinds, you will own the company’s most strategic client relationships and drive long-term revenue growth across our key account portfolio. You combine the gravitas of a trusted C-suite advisor with the commercial hunger of a top-performing sales professional — and you use both to build partnerships that last.
Note: This is an individual contributor role at launch, with the expectation to build and lead a broader KAM team as the function and portfolio grow.

In detail you will:

Own the company-wide key account strategy: define prioritisation, set targets with the CCO, and establish the KAM playbook
Monitor strategy execution and produce executive-level reporting on portfolio health, revenue development, and growth opportunities
Develop and own strategic account plans for each key account, aligned with company objectives and long-term partnership value
Serve as senior point of contact and trusted advisor for assigned key accounts, maintaining C-suite relationships
Proactively originate and close upsell and cross-sell opportunities across your portfolio
Actively push and influence other KAMs to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within their accounts
Coach and support other Key Account Managers as a senior sparring partner and escalation point (non-hierarchical)
Lead AI exploration with enterprise accounts — identify where AI capabilities create new value and translate into commercial proposals
Engage stakeholders beyond existing client contacts, mapping decision-makers and sponsors across each account
Develop fund and growth strategies per account, identifying new business needs and emerging budget cycles
Own pricing strategy and commercial structuring for your accounts
Work closely with a dedicated project team (Project Manager + Solution Engineer) to ensure seamless delivery and client satisfaction
Coordinate with the project team to translate client needs into solution design and implementation
Lead contract renewals, negotiations, and commercial governance across your portfolio
Act as primary escalation point for client concerns — proactively resolve risks before they impact retention
Zero churn: retain 100% of your key account portfolio
Successfully close priority deals currently active in pipeline
