About the role 

As we’re renewing how our Customer Success team works, we’re introducing a completely new role of Account Manager (AM) to work alongside a Customer Success Manager. Together, you’ll develop customised solutions for clients, address client concerns, and ensure that Happeo consistently exceeds client expectations.

Your role is to build and sustain executive-level relationships while working to grow revenue through renewals, upselling, and cross-selling.
