About the Role

The Senior Strategic Account Manager is the most senior individual contributor within Behavox's Strategic Account Management function. In addition to owning a portfolio of the most complex enterprise accounts, this role carries broader responsibility for defining the engagement standard across the function, serving as a field expert on high-stakes accounts, and building the institutional knowledge that the team operates against. The Senior Strategic Account Manager leads through expertise and influence.

The Senior Strategic Account Manager owns a focused portfolio of 3 to 5 Tier 1 and Tier 2 accounts representing the most complex, multi-product, multi-region, multi-stakeholder, high-ARR client relationships in the book. Full end-to-end ownership of these accounts includes elevated executive access and commercial complexity; the Senior Strategic Account Manager leads executive relationships at C-suite and Head-of level independently. This role also serves as the escalation point for the most complex or commercially significant situations before they reach leadership, and deploys into at-risk accounts owned by other Strategic Account Managers to coach through resolution without taking over coverage.

Beyond direct account ownership, the Senior Strategic Account Manager defines engagement standards for the function across QBRs, escalation management, account planning, hygiene, and commercial execution. This includes creating vertical playbooks for common scenarios, establishing quality benchmarks and metrics, validating and improving the hiring assessment and onboarding materials, and leading internal learning sessions and workshops grounded in real account examples. The Senior Strategic Account Manager attends and speaks at industry events and conferences on behalf of Behavox, leads Customer Advisory Boards and CCO communities, and participates actively in hiring and interview processes as a calibration voice on candidate quality.

This is a hybrid position based out in our New York office.

What You'll Bring

• Enterprise compliance technology at the highest account complexity. Expert-level understanding of multi-product, multi-region deployments of communications surveillance, trade surveillance, compliant archiving, and policy management across the most demanding Tier 1 financial institutions; understands how these systems interact within a client's broader controls framework.
• Executive engagement at C-suite and Head-of level. Independently builds and sustains trusted advisory relationships with the most senior compliance, risk, and technology leaders at global financial institutions; represents Behavox credibly in executive conversations about compliance strategy, product roadmap, and deployment value.
• Standards and process ownership for account management. Defines the engagement standard across QBRs, escalation management, account planning, hygiene, and commercial execution for the entire Strategic Account Management function; creates vertical playbooks, quality benchmarks, and metrics that other team members operate against.
• At-risk account intervention and resolution. Serves as the deployment resource for complex or commercially significant account situations; engages directly in at-risk accounts to assess, stabilize, and coach the assigned Strategic Account Manager through resolution without displacing ownership.
• External representation and community leadership. Presents Behavox's customer success and product vision to external audiences at industry events and conferences; leads Customer Advisory Boards, CCO communities, and industry working groups; builds and stewards the external community of Behavox customers and practitioners.

What You'll Do

• Multi-product, multi-region account ownership at scale. Manages the most complex accounts in the portfolio ($3M or higher combined ARR) with full end-to-end responsibility for delivery, health, commercial outcomes, and executive relationships across multiple geographies, products, and stakeholder groups.
• Escalation calibration and field deployment. Serves as the escalation point for the most sensitive situations before they reach leadership; assesses severity, coaches junior Strategic Account Managers through resolution in real time, and intervenes directly only when account complexity or commercial significance requires senior presence.
• Playbook and framework creation for repeatable execution. Creates reusable vertical playbooks, assessment instruments, and engagement frameworks that codify best practices across the function; validates and improves hiring assessments, onboarding materials, and the scoring framework used to evaluate new hires against departure archetype detection criteria.
• Strategic commercial execution on high-value accounts. Owns renewal and expansion strategy for the highest-ARR accounts; builds value-led commercial plays grounded in customer intelligence; co-owns the regional expansion pipeline with Account Executive leadership; participates in deal reviews for high-value renewals and expansions.

About Our Process

We take Talent very seriously and we are building a community of extraordinary individuals working together in very high performing teams. We also know that the best Talent always has options so we believe that the process has to be a two way assessment - the company AND the candidate assessing the business needs alignment, the career next step alignment, and the cultural alignment.

During the process we will begin by exploring the core factors regarding salary and location along with core experience and skills and values alignment. We will then deep dive explore the critical technical competencies we have identified for the role, and then we will deep dive in behavioral competencies.

The most aligned candidate will then be asked to do a practical work task simulation activity so we can make sure that you will enjoy the kind of work the role requires, and this task will typically be presented and discussed with a group of colleagues and managers. Finally we will ask you to meet with a number of our senior leaders to make sure that you are making the most informed call possible.

Please note that:

• We want to get to know you and have a genuine conversation, so the use of AI tools or assistance during live interviews is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification from the process
• Interviews may be recorded for internal review purposes to ensure fairness and enable collaborative hiring discussions within the team.
