Account Manager - Business Services Vertical

In this role, you will operate as a strategic Enterprise Solutions Seller, owning complex, consultative relationships across a defined portfolio of Business Key Accounts. You will be responsible for driving revenue growth within existing customers by deeply understanding their business objectives, identifying enterprise-wide challenges, and aligning Progress' solutions to deliver measurable and sustained business outcomes.

Your remit will span the full enterprise account lifecycle, including strategic account planning, opportunity development, and long-term relationship management. You will engage senior stakeholders across IT, security, operations, and the business to uncover needs, articulate value, and build compelling solution visions aligned to customers' broader transformation initiatives.

Through executive-level conversations, virtual engagements, and targeted digital outreach, you will progress opportunities that expand Progress' footprint and relevance within your Key Accounts.

Working closely with your Inside Sales Representative, you will orchestrate end-to-end enterprise sales cycles-from deep discovery and qualification through solution design, commercial negotiation, and close. You will lead multi-threaded opportunities within complex customer organizations, manage diverse buying teams, and coordinate internal resources including pre-sales, product specialists, customer success, and leadership. Together with Inside Sales, you will proactively identify expansion opportunities and ensure renewals are approached strategically, as part of a holistic account growth plan rather than a transactional activity.

A core focus of the role is driving expansion, upsell, and new product adoption across your Key Accounts. This requires a strong understanding of Progress' enterprise portfolio and the ability to map multiple products and capabilities to evolving customer priorities such as digital transformation, security, compliance, and operational resilience. You will identify whitespace, build cross-solution value propositions, and position Progress as a trusted enterprise partner rather than a point-solution vendor.

By consistently delivering exceptional, value-led customer experiences, you will strengthen executive relationships, increase customer advocacy, and create sustained demand for Progress' technologies and expertise. Through disciplined account planning, outcome-based selling, and a consultative mindset, you will deliver against revenue targets while deepening long-term customer partnerships and driving strategic growth within your portfolio.
