Account Manager - Benelux

As our Account Manager Benelux, you'll own and grow a focused portfolio of our most strategic and high-value accounts across the Netherlands and Belgium — drawn from a customer base of over 2,200 organizations. Working for a leading HR tech company, you'll manage inbound expansion requests, introduce customers to new products like Tellent HR and WhatsApp Hiring, and design and run your own outbound campaigns to drive expansion revenue. This is a high-autonomy role for a commercially driven Account Manager who takes full ownership of their results and leads by example.

About the Team

The Benelux Account Management team consists of three Account Managers working from our Amsterdam office. The team owns the full expansion motion for our Benelux customer base — driving upsell, cross-sell, and NRR across hundreds of accounts. You'll work closely with Customer Success, Marketing, and Product. The team is ambitious, collaborative, and constantly looking for ways to improve how we work and grow together.

Your 12-month journey

First 3 months You'll be in front of customers from week one — initially working alongside your colleagues to get up to speed on our portfolio, products, and way of working, before quickly taking full ownership of your accounts and conversations. We have a structured onboarding in place and will actively invest in helping you become successful as fast as possible.

After 6 months You're independently managing your portfolio and running your own campaigns. You've built strong relationships across your accounts, you're having impact-driven discovery conversations, and you're consistently generating pipeline. You collaborate actively with your Customer Success counterparts and are a trusted contributor in deal reviews and forecasting.

After 12 months You've run multiple self-initiated campaigns end-to-end. You're managing several complex expansion trajectories simultaneously, with a healthy pipeline and a meaningful contribution to NRR. You're a core part of the team and a key contributor to how we grow the business together.
