• Partner closely with Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Support, and other cross-functional teams to proactively address customer needs, remove blockers, and deliver a seamless customer experience
• Monitor account health and usage signals to identify risks early, taking action to prevent churn and mitigate contraction
• Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline management for your book of business, with a focus on predictable revenue retention and growth
• Serve as a trusted advisor to customers by bringing insights, best practices, and a consultative approach aligned with Algolia’s position as a leader in search and discovery

• Experience managing and growing a book of business (e.g., Account Management, Customer Growth, Renewals, or Account Executive roles with install base focus)
• Proven ability to identify and close expansion opportunities within existing accounts
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to effectively engage cross-functional partners to solve customer challenges
• Comfort operating in a high-growth, dynamic environment, with the ability to manage a high volume of accounts while maintaining attention to detail and prioritization
