Senior Account Manager, KAYAK

• Experience in account management, client success, customer relationship management, or a related client-facing role — we value what you've accomplished and the skills you've built, not a specific number of years or a particular job title
• A track record of managing multiple client relationships at the same time, with strong follow-through and attention to detail
• Clear, confident communication skills — written and verbal — and comfort working with people at different levels of an organization, from day-to-day contacts to senior decision-makers
• The ability to use data to track account performance, spot trends, and inform your conversations with clients
• A collaborative, organized approach to work, including the ability to coordinate across multiple internal teams and external partners to get things done
• Equivalent experience, training, or transferable skills from adjacent fields (such as hospitality, operations, consulting, or customer success) are genuinely considered
