    Responsibilities The Director, Account Management Identifies, tracks, and responds to new opportunities in their region by leveraging existing relationships, developing new relationships, and acting as a trusted business partner to public sector customers.

    This role ensures that prospect information is tracked and leads are generated. As a subject matter expert, this position guides the team in creating pitch decks and proposals for customers.

    Travel:
    Up to 25%


    This position acts as a member of the Growth leadership team and oversees a team focused on growth of business in their assigned region.

    Therefore, this role is responsible for hiring, training, providing feedback and mentoring team members to support and grow Account Management activities.

    The Growth team is responsible for conference attendance and customer site visits.

    This role supports those activities by helping to coordinate on-site meetings, plan networking or social events, and ensure that hotel or other accommodations for team members is secured.

    Above all, the Director, Account Management is committed to the growth of FORWARD's mission by consistently achieving ambitious sales targets, collaborating closely with both the Growth and Operations teams, and thinking strategically about product use cases and potential customer needs.

    This role provides timely reporting to senior-level management on goals, metrics and lessons learned to ensure ongoing growth.

    Additionally, this role serves as a thought leader to customers and is seen as a trusted advisor on how to run assistance programs at-scale.
