What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Mid Market Account Management to join our Employer Sales Team—working with top employers across the nation to drive their early talent recruiting strategy
- You will serve as the primary leader for the Mid Market and Tech Touch segments of existing partnerships, reporting to the VP of Sales
- You’ll own the strategy and execution across a defined customer segment, balancing growth, retention, and efficiency goals
- This includes close collaboration with Customer Success and other cross-functional partners to drive measurable customer outcomes
- This high-impact role combines people management, revenue ownership, and program development
- You’ll lead a team responsible for driving net new ARR growth, expansion within existing accounts, and industry-leading retention through strong customer relationships and value delivery
- In addition to leading our core Mid Market AM team, you’ll also own our Scaled Account Management program—developing the strategy, tools, and motions needed to efficiently serve a broad base of customers with high-impact, low-touch engagement
- Lead a team of ~8 Mid Market Account Managers and 1 Scaled Account Manager, guiding them to deliver on customer goals and achieve company revenue objectives
- Hire, coach, and develop a high-performing AM team; build robust enablement, onboarding, and training content to support their success
- Carry and exceed a team quota tied to growth (nnARR), and retention (GDR)
- Accurately forecast team performance, manage pipeline, and report on progress to goals
- At Handshake, leaders are responsible for the outcomes of their team, which means we’re often in the field with them
- Define and scale the Scaled Account Management program to drive efficient, tech-enabled customer coverage and success
- Collaborate deeply with Customer Success to ensure aligned account planning, onboarding, adoption, and value realization and partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales Ops, New Business leadership and Product to deliver resources and programs that empower the AM team
Our take
The three founders of Handshake established their company in an attempt to eliminate inequality and make the student hiring landscape fairer. The Handshake platform acts as a LinkedIn for college students, pairing students from every walk of life with more than 650K employers, including the entire Fortune 500, which includes Google and Nike.
The graduate recruitment platform is open to any student with a valid @.edu email address, with more than 12 million active users from thousands of colleges and universities. With a student-first philosophy, the company generates revenue from both universities and employers rather than students.
Valued at $3.5B, Handshake has gained traction in a competitive market, although it has strong competition from recruiting giants LinkedIn and Indeed. It stands out, however, by helping students build new relationships and skills, rather than simply making connections to people they already know.
