About this role
IntroThis is a role for someone who wants to own something real, not just execute on someone else's vision.

We work with companies like Maersk, Lufthansa, and Zeiss. And we're growing fast! As (Senior) Key Account Manager, you'll own and grow our automotive customer base. You'll have real responsibility from day one, and what you build here will actually matter. You'll spend the majority of your time deepening relationships with existing enterprise accounts (expansion, additional use cases, renewals) while also opening a smaller number of new strategic accounts in the automotive and industrial supplier space.
You'll work directly with our CEO and sales leadership to build the account strategy from the ground up.
