Director, Account Management

Director, Account Management

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It's hard to believe that it's 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We're here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?

About the Role

As the Director, Account Management, you will own the strategy, performance, and scaling of Flex's Account Management function, leading a team of Account Managers while directly stewarding the company's largest and most strategic partnerships. This role sits at the intersection of partner success and revenue growth, with a clear mandate to drive retention, expansion, and long-term value across a growing book of business that represents a material portion of company revenue.

Reporting to the Vice President of Account Management, you will set the vision and operating model for the function—not just executing account strategy, but defining it. You will build the playbooks, processes, and team structure that allow Account Management to scale, ensure partners are deeply engaged with Flex's products, and translate partner relationships into durable, compounding business value. You will also serve as a senior commercial leader internally, partnering with executives across the company and representing the voice of our partners at the leadership table. The ideal candidate is a seasoned, hands-on leader with strong commercial instincts, operational rigor, experience building and scaling teams, and a passion for building durable partner relationships in high-growth B2B or B2B2C environments.
