What do we need

We are seeking an Associate Account Manager to own the health, retention, and growth of an assigned book of Luma Material Science customer accounts. This is a hybrid role that blends renewal ownership with proactive account management: you will manage the full renewal cycle for your named accounts while also identifying and closing expansion opportunities with departmental buyers and smaller research teams. You will work in close partnership with Strategic Account Executives, Customer Success, and the broader sales organization to ensure every customer renews, adopts, and grows with Dotmatics.

This role is for you if you want a defined path from account support and renewal ownership toward a full-cycle Account Executive career, and you can bring enough scientific fluency to speak credibly with bench researchers, lab managers, and departmental decision-makers.

Renewal Ownership & Retention

• Own the end-to-end renewal process for an assigned portfolio of named accounts, from 120-day renewal notice through contract execution
• Forecast renewal risk and revenue with accuracy, maintaining a rolling view of at-risk, on-track, and expansion-ready accounts
• Proactively monitor account health signals (usage, adoption, support tickets, stakeholder turnover) and intervene early on accounts showing renewal risk
• Negotiate renewal terms, pricing, and contract structure within established parameters, escalating complex negotiations as needed
• Partner with Customer Success to resolve adoption gaps or satisfaction issues before they become renewal risks

Account Support & Collaboration

• Partner with Strategic Account Executives to support sales activities within named enterprise accounts
• Collaborate with Presales (Field sales) to conduct product demonstrations and technical discovery calls for prospects and existing customers within assigned accounts
• Coordinate with field sales teams on account strategies, customer communications, and opportunity progression
• Maintain accurate CRM records and provide regular updates on renewal status, pipeline activity, and account health
