Senior Account Manager
New Yesterday
Company Description Swiftly is on a mission to help cities move more efficiently. We are the leading transit data platform for agencies to share real-time passenger information, manage day-to-day operations, and improve service performance. Today, over 180 transit agencies in 11 countries – including LA Metro, MARTA, SEPTA, and MBTA – rely on Swiftly to improve on-time performance by up to 40% and increase passenger information accuracy by up to 50%. The result is better service reliability, increased ridership, and more efficient transit operations.
Even though Swiftly's HQ office is located in San Francisco, CA, we are open to candidates in most locations across the U.S. as well as Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. At this time we are unable to provide Visa sponsorship.
The Role The Senior Account Managers own the commercial aspects of renewals along with the end-to-end sales cycle for upsells in our existing mid-sized to large strategic customers. They are responsible for working closely with Solutions Engineering, Technical Support, Marketing, Partnerships, and Product teams to increase the “stickiness” of Swiftly amongst our customers. AMs help ensure our customers find continued success and measured value in their partnership with Swiftly by expanding their product portfolio. Account Managers own their own territory of existing customers and are responsible for retention, lead generation for upsell and cross-sell opportunities, and increasing revenue from the customer base. Swiftly has aggressive upsell goals, and we are looking for dedicated professionals who can empathize with the needs of mid-sized to large complex agencies and are committed to the success of the transit industry.
