The Role
The Manager, Account Management leads and develops a team of Account Managers who own Minga's post-sale commercial outcomes: retention, expansion, and customer health. This is a player‑coach role: you're close enough to the work to coach deals and renewals in real time, and senior enough to set the process and standards the whole team operates from.
Your team owns GRR and NRR for a named book of business. Your job is to make sure every AM on your team has the skills, systems, and support to hit those numbers and that the team as a whole is building an increasingly healthy, expanding customer base for Minga.

- Set clear performance expectations and hold the team accountable to GRR, NRR, renewal rate, and health score targets
- Build individual development plans for each AM; identify strengths, gaps, and growth paths
- Recruit, interview, and onboard new AMs; own their ramp to full productivity
- Revenue & Retention Ownership
- Own the team's aggregate GRR and NRR targets; forecast renewals and flag risk early
- Review the renewal pipeline with each AM weekly; identify deals that need coaching, escalation, or executive support

- Continuously improve team efficiency through better tooling, templates, and process iteration
- Cross-Functional Partnership
- Partner with the AE team and Director of Sales on expansion deal collaboration — AM identifies, AE closes, handoff back to AM
