Reporting To: VP, Customer Success & Growth
Compensation: CA$80,000 - CA$100,000 / year
Description
Veriforce is a leader in contractor compliance and supply chain risk management, helping the world's most safety-conscious organizations protect their workers, their reputation, and their operations. As Account Manager, you will own a portfolio of existing customers across key industries - including Oil & Gas, Mining, Utilities, and Manufacturing - and be accountable for their retention, growth, and long-term success.
This is a revenue-carrying role, not a service role. You will defend and expand your book of business by deepening relationships, driving adoption, and uncovering net-new opportunity within existing accounts - turning satisfied customers into growing ones.
What That Means Day-to-day
- Own the Book - Retention First
- Carry full accountability for gross retention and renewal outcomes across your portfolio
- Run a disciplined renewal motion: early engagement, clear value recaps, and proactive risk management well ahead of renewal dates
- Identify churn risk early through usage signals, stakeholder changes, and sentiment - and mobilize the right resources to address it
- Grow the Base (Net New From Existing)
- Identify, qualify, and close expansion opportunities: new sites, new business units, new use cases, and additional solutions
- Build account plans that map whitespace across each customer's organization
- Develop ROI-driven expansion business cases grounded in the value already delivered
- Build Multi-Threaded Relationships
- Develop trusted relationships from day-to-day users up to economic buyers and executive sponsors
- Multi-thread deliberately so no account depends on a single champion
- Conduct structured business reviews (QBRs/EBRs) that reinforce value delivered and align on what's next
- Drive Adoption & Value Realization
- Monitor product adoption and health metrics; partner with customers to close usage gaps
- Connect customer objectives to measurable outcomes in compliance, risk reduction, and operational efficiency
- Ensure every account can articulate the value Veriforce delivers - in their own words
- Forecast & Manage with Discipline
- Maintain accurate CRM records across renewals and expansion pipeline (stages, next steps, close dates)
- Deliver reliable renewal and expansion forecasts on a weekly and monthly cadence
- Participate actively in account review and deal review cadences
- Execute Cross-Functionally
- Partner with Customer Success, Implementation, Product, and Support to deliver a seamless customer experience
- Serve as the customer's advocate internally - escalating what matters and closing the loop
- Feed customer insights back to Product, Marketing, and GTM leadership
How Success Is Measured
- Retention: Gross revenue retention, on-time renewal rate, and churn prevented
- Growth: Net revenue retention (NRR), expansion ARR closed, and whitespace penetration across the portfolio
- Account health: Adoption and usage trends, multi-threading depth, and executed account plans and business reviews
- Forecast reliability: Renewal and expansion forecast accuracy and CRM discipline
- Customer outcomes: Customer satisfaction and advocacy (references, case studies, testimonials)
What You’ll Need To Be Successful
- 3+ years of B2B account management, customer success with revenue ownership, or full-cycle sales experience - SaaS preferred
- A track record of hitting retention and expansion targets in a quota-carrying role
- Experience with industrial sectors - Oil & Gas, Mining, Utilities, or Manufacturing - an asset
- Strong commercial instincts: you can spot an expansion opportunity, build the case, and close it.
- Bilingual in both French and English
- Executive presence and the ability to run a business review that lands with a VP or C-suite audience
- Disciplined CRM and forecasting habits
- Willingness to travel to key accounts as required
The ideal candidate will bring a strong combination of
relationship management, business development, and closing capability. This is not a traditional account-management role focused solely on maintaining existing relationships. We need someone who can
map complex enterprise accounts, build relationships with multiple stakeholders, identify whitespace, and convert opportunities into revenue.
Key Profile Requirements
- Strong hunter mentality, with demonstrated ability to identify, develop, and close growth opportunities within existing accounts.
- Experience managing large, complex enterprise accounts and building relationships across multiple stakeholders rather than relying on a single contact.
- Strong account-mapping skills, with the ability to understand decision-makers, influencers, operational stakeholders, and expansion opportunities across different sites or business units.
- Highly commercially savvy, comfortable discussing contracts, renewals, pricing, value propositions, and business opportunities.
- Able to develop strong product and platform knowledge and articulate the value proposition credibly with customers.
- Works closely with Customer Success Managers to ensure customer satisfaction and leverage successful deployments to expand into additional sites.
- Proactive in building market presence through industry networking, events, relationship building, and LinkedIn.
- Ideally brings an existing network within the target industry, helping accelerate access to key accounts and decision-makers.
- Experience within manufacturing or adjacent industrial sectors would be particularly valuable, including areas such as food & beverage and other manufacturing environments.
- Dynamic, motivated, resilient and results-oriented, with a strong desire to build business and win.
