In this role, you'll be expected to collaborate with account executives, identifying new business opportunities to help expand our footprint within each client account.
While key performance indicators include retention rate and the identification of growth opportunities, the responsibilities of Account Directors go much deeper.

- Cultivate relationships with users and key stakeholders to ensure AlphaSense is viewed as a business partner rather than vendor
- Hold Business Reviews with key stakeholders
- Consistent proactive outreach with material and information that’s relevant for our user base
- Serve as our boots on the ground and physical presence within each client (floor walks, lunch and learns, etc.)
- Serve as both the advocate for AlphaSense to the client, and the client advocate within AlphaSense
- Acquire value stories and product feedback from clients. Circulate internally to assist with product development, marketing, sales efforts

- Knowledgeable and experienced in Life Sciences: Experience working with clients in the Life Sciences industry, including Pharma, Biotech, Medical devices and diagnostics - additional bonus for familiarity with competitive intelligence, business development and clinical and commercial strategy workflows.
- Energetic and creative: You possess a natural intellectual curiosity with the ability to learn and adapt quickly
- You understand our business: We are a rapidly growing SaaS company and are incredibly passionate about our product. We are looking for individuals who understand best practices for client engagement within a SaaS environment;
- Committed to delivering results: You set the example for grit, work ethic, initiative, enthusiasm and commitment amongst your peers.
