About WorkOS 🚀
About the role:
WorkOS is growing rapidly, and our largest customers are growing with us. We're looking for an Account Manager to own the expansion of our most complex accounts — deepening product adoption, uncovering new use cases, and turning strong technical relationships into meaningful revenue growth.
This is a commercial role with a technical center of gravity. You'll build trusted relationships with engineering and product leaders, understand their roadmaps well enough to see where WorkOS should show up next, and drive the renewals, upsells, and multi-product expansion that follow. You'll also be a critical feedback loop into product — the expansion opportunities you can't close today become the roadmap that unlocks them tomorrow.
Responsibilities
Own a book of strategic accounts end to end: retention, renewal, and expansion targets
Build and execute account growth plans — map the org, identify unadopted products and untapped teams, and drive a clear path to increased usage and spend
Proactively surface expansion opportunities by understanding each customer's product roadmap, technical architecture, and growth plans
Lead commercial conversations independently, from initial opportunity through pricing, negotiation, and close
Drive adoption of the full WorkOS platform — SSO, Directory Sync, AuthKit, Audit Logs, and beyond — across new teams, new products, and new geographies
Partner with Sales, Support, and Engineering to remove technical blockers standing between a customer and their next stage of growth
Run executive business reviews that connect WorkOS usage to customer outcomes and set up the next expansion conversation
Forecast accurately and maintain pipeline hygiene across your accounts
Feed structured expansion signal back to Product — what customers are asking for, what's blocking adoption, and what would unlock the next tier of spend
Help build the playbooks, content, and processes that make this motion repeatable as the team scales
Qualifications
5+ years in account management, customer success, or sales at an enterprise level, with a track record of growing existing accounts
Demonstrated ownership of expansion, upsell, or net revenue retention targets
Strong product sense and genuine energy for solving hard technical customer problems
Ability to lead complex integration and architecture conversations in a consultative, proactive way
Familiarity with APIs and the ability to explain API concepts to our largest and most technical customers
Familiarity with SQL — comfortable writing basic queries and modifying more complex ones to find adoption and usage signal on your own
Comfort navigating multi-threaded relationships, from individual developers to VPs and executive buyers
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Commercial instincts: you can spot an opportunity, build the business case, and ask for the deal
Operations-savvy mindset — you remove process friction and build things that scale
Strong organizational skills and a self-starting mindset
