Account Manager - Enterprise - Scaled

Plaid Account Manager

Plaid is looking for a highly operational and strategic Account Manager to help build and scale our approach to managing a large portfolio of territory accounts. In this role, you will be responsible for guiding customers from implementation through revenue activation, ensuring they successfully launch and realize value quickly.

You will operate as a hybrid of consultant, operator, and account manager — building scalable processes that support customer growth while improving operational efficiency across a large book of business. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys creating structure from the ground up, and is excited to leverage automation, systems, and AI to scale customer engagement.

You'll focus on helping customers go live with Plaid products, drive early adoption and revenue outcomes, and identify when accounts are ready to transition to a strategic account management motion. As an early builder in this function, you'll play a key role in defining workflows, best practices, tooling, and scalable engagement models for the team.
