Key Account Manager

Full-time

Description

Raken is a cloud-based, mobile, collaboration platform for the construction industry — we empower the people who build the world! Our goal is to transform the way the world builds by introducing technology to a 7,000 year old industry. To achieve this, we aim to attract unique, passionate people to the cause. We believe that faster, better reporting will improve the working lives of nearly 10% of the US labor force—the percentage of people currently working in construction. Helping turn the worst part of their day into the easiest (and fastest) is why we do what we do! We work with Commercial, Residential, and Specialty Contractors of all shapes and sizes; including many of the largest construction companies in the world.

We are looking for a Key Account Manager to join our startup that has the #1 app in one of the largest industries in the world.

Key Account Managers at Raken are the primary relationship owners for clients within our upmarket segment. You will act as the strategic point of contact throughout the customer journey – building long term relationships that drive business outcomes, conducting business reviews, preparing for and executing renewals, and identifying deeper adoption opportunities. Your goal is to ensure each of your clients achieve measurable success with Raken, driving client satisfaction, retention and long term value.

This is a proactive role that requires a strong blend of technical proficiency and relationship building skills. You will work cross functionally to advocate for your clients’ needs and you will be ruthlessly focused on ensuring your clients successfully adopt new product features as Raken evolves. This role will work with clients of varied technical and organizational backgrounds, requiring the ability to seamlessly pivot from driving field adoption with foremen to building strategic alignment with C-suite executives.

This is a remote position for candidates located anywhere in the continental US. If a candidate is local to the San Diego area - the position is available as a hybrid role with the company HQ/Office located in Carlsbad, CA.

This is an exempt position.
