The Role

We're looking for a Senior Account Manager to take charge of a portfolio of active clients. The role is built around the client relationship: understanding each company's business challenges, identifying the funding programs that fit, coordinating the work with our analysts and making sure clients get real, measurable value from our support.

Our clients are manufacturing, food & beverage, energy and innovation-driven companies generating $10M to $50M+ in annual revenue across Canada. They're working on growth, innovation, export or digital transformation projects. As their main point of contact at helloDarwin, you have a direct impact on retention and portfolio growth.

This position is a good fit for someone with an advisory background (accounting firm, professional services firm or an equivalent in-house role) who is comfortable in strategic conversations with business owners and executives.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Manage and grow a portfolio of active clients, acting as their main point of contact throughout the engagement
  • Lead discovery meetings to understand each client's projects, financial priorities and operational challenges
  • Identify applicable grants and tax credits and coordinate application preparation with the analyst team
  • Present funding plans to clients and guide them through the decisions that follow
  • Quantify project value and clearly present the expected financial impact
  • Drive retention through regular follow-ups, renewals and spotting new mandates within the portfolio
  • Keep HubSpot up to date (statuses, notes, next steps)

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 3+ years of experience in account management, advisory services or a client-facing B2B role
  • Background in consulting: accounting firm, professional services firm or strategy consulting
  • Proven ability to lead executive-level conversations with business owners and senior leaders
  • Solid understanding of business financing: grants, tax credits, financial planning

Assets: knowledge of Canadian government programs (SR&ED, CDAE, C3i, provincial and federal programs) and experience in a role where retention and renewals were measured objectives.

WHY HELLODARWIN?

  • Competitive base salary and variable bonus tied to retention and renewals
  • Fast-growing company with plenty of room for advancement
  • Existing client portfolio, no cold prospecting
  • A team of consultants specialized in non-dilutive funding to support every file, with recognized expertise across Canada
  • Hybrid work at our Montreal office
  • 4 weeks of vacation from day one

À propos d'helloDarwin

helloDarwin est une firme service-conseil qui aide les entreprises canadiennes à trouver et obtenir des subventions, crédits d’impôt et autres financements gouvernementaux. Basée à Montréal, notre équipe de 60 personnes a accompagné des centaines d’organisations depuis 2017. Une vingtaine de consultants se consacrent exclusivement au financement non dilutif pour nos clients.

Le rôle

Nous cherchons un·e gestionnaire de comptes sénior pour prendre en charge un portefeuille de clients actifs. Le rôle est centré sur la relation client : comprendre les enjeux d’affaires de chaque entreprise, cibler les programmes de financement pertinents, coordonner le travail avec les analystes et s’assurer que les clients retirent une valeur concrète de l’accompagnement.

Nos clients sont des entreprises manufacturières, agroalimentaires, énergétiques et innovantes générant entre 10M$ et 50M$+ de revenus annuels à travers le Canada. Elles mènent des projets de croissance, d’innovation, d’exportation ou de transformation numérique. La personne en poste est leur interlocuteur principal chez helloDarwin, ce qui influence directement la rétention et la croissance du portefeuille.

Le poste convient à une personne issue du conseil (cabinet comptable, firme de services professionnels ou rôle équivalent en entreprise), à l’aise dans des conversations stratégiques avec des dirigeants d’entreprise.

RESPONSABILITÉS

  • Gérer et faire croître un portefeuille de clients actifs et agir comme point de contact principal tout au long de l’accompagnement
  • Mener les rencontres d’analyse pour comprendre les projets, les priorités financières et les enjeux opérationnels de chaque client
  • Cibler les subventions et crédits d’impôt applicables et coordonner le montage des demandes avec l’équipe d’analystes
  • Présenter les plans de financement aux clients et les accompagner dans les décisions qui en découlent
  • Chiffrer la valeur des projets et présenter les retombées financières attendues de façon claire
  • Travailler la rétention : suivis réguliers, renouvellements et repérage de nouveaux mandats dans le portefeuille
  • Assurer un suivi rigoureux dans HubSpot (statuts, notes, prochaines étapes)

PROFIL RECHERCHÉ

  • 3 ans et plus d’expérience en gestion de comptes, en service-conseil ou dans un rôle client-facing B2B
  • Parcours en conseil : cabinet comptable, firme de services professionnels ou consultation stratégique
  • Capacité démontrée à mener des conversations de niveau exécutif avec des dirigeants d’entreprise
  • Bonne compréhension du financement d’entreprise : subventions, crédits d’impôt, planification
  • Rôle 100% bilingue, obligatoire pour le poste

Atouts : connaissance des programmes gouvernementaux canadiens (RS&DE, CDAE, C3i, programmes provinciaux et fédéraux), expérience dans un rôle où la rétention et le renouvellement étaient des objectifs mesurés.

POURQUOI HELLODARWIN?

  • Salaire de base compétitif et prime variable liée à la rétention et aux renouvellements
  • Entreprise en pleine croissance qui offre beaucoup de possibilités d’avancement
  • Portefeuille de clients existants, sans prospection à froid
  • Équipe de consultants spécialisés en financement non dilutif pour appuyer chaque dossier, expertise reconnue au Canada
  • Mode de travail hybride à notre bureau de Montréal
  • 4 semaines de vacances dès l’embauche
