POSITION OVERVIEW

The Account Manager is responsible for managing assigned accounts, opportunities, and pre-sale activity from initial intake through turnover to Project Management once work is sold. This role serves as a primary point of coordination and decision-making within assigned opportunities, helping ensure work moves accurately, efficiently, and in alignment with customer requirements, internal priorities, and Gable quality standards.

This role works directly with customer contacts, the designated account owner, and internal teams to maintain momentum, clarify scope, coordinate pre-sale execution, and support broader account development. The Account Manager is responsible for managing opportunity details, maintaining accurate documentation and system records, resolving routine issues, and helping ensure customer commitments and internal requirements are met.

Depending on account assignment and organizational structure, this role may report to the Sales Operations Manager or the Senior Lead Account Manager. Regardless of reporting line, all Account Managers are expected to follow a common pre-sale process and shared administrative standards. This role requires sound judgment, strong follow-through, and the ability to coordinate across multiple teams in a fast-paced environment while escalating larger commercial, operational, or customer risks to leadership as appropriate.
