The Role

As part of our continued growth with existing customers, we’re looking for an experienced and business-minded Account Manager to join our New York team.

This is not a hunting role; instead, you’ll own relationships with key existing customers, building long-term partnerships, identifying opportunities for growth, and ensuring continued satisfaction and engagement.

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, curious, and genuinely passionate about helping customers succeed. If you’re a strong communicator who enjoys understanding your clients’ business challenges and uncovering opportunities before they even ask, this is the role for you.

• Own and manage relationships with 50–100 existing customers, maintaining consistent engagement and trust
• Identify and close upsell and cross-sell opportunities across Agora’s suite of solutions

• Collaborate closely with internal teams (Customer Success, Product, Marketing, and Leadership) to ensure customer satisfaction and identify new opportunities
• Conduct regular check-ins, both virtually and in person, maintaining a consistent cadence of communication
• Track, forecast, and report on pipeline and performance metrics
• Represent Agora with professionalism and empathy at events, conferences, and customer meetings

Requirements:

• A background in accounting or finance (CPA credentials or experience working in a CPA capacity is a strong plus, especially if paired with a transition into sales, client advisory, or revenue-generating roles)
• 5–7 years of experience in Account Management, ideally in SaaS or tech-enabled services with experience selling financial or professional services
• Proven success in driving revenue through upselling and cross-selling
• Ability to hold tough, high-stakes conversations with C-level finance executives while maintaining trust and partnership
• Strong relationship management, negotiation, and closing skills
• Detail-oriented with strong commercial instincts; able to contextualize data, financial statements, and ROI discussions in customer conversations
• Proactive, self-motivated, and goal-oriented. Thrives in ownership and autonomy
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities; able to connect with C-level executives and decision-makers
• Experience with tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator
