The posting
At Tellent, we're on a mission to help organisations attract, hire and retain the right people. Our products support thousands of companies across Europe, and we're looking for an Account Manager to grow our most strategic Benelux customers.
As our Account Manager Benelux, you'll own and grow a portfolio of Tellent's most strategic, high-value accounts across the Netherlands and Belgium. You'll build genuine, long-term relationships, understand these customers better than anyone, and drive growth through upsell, cross-sell and upgrades — bringing them deeper into the Tellent platform (Tellent Recruitee, Tellent HR and Tellent Grow). It's a senior, high-autonomy and proactive role: you generate your own pipeline, take full ownership of your book, and set the commercial bar for the team.
About the team
You'll be part of the Benelux Account Management team, based in our Amsterdam office and working closely with Customer Experience, Marketing and Revenue Operations. You'll focus on expansion — upsell, cross-sell and upgrades — while Customer Experience own renewals, so you can invest your time where you create the most value. As the senior AM in the team, you'll be a reference point for what great, strategic account management looks like.
Your 12-Month Journey
During the first 3 months:
You'll immerse yourself in our products, customer base and expansion opportunities, and take full ownership of your book. You'll start building account plans for your top accounts and having your first commercial conversations.
Within 6 months:
You'll be independently running your book and generating your own pipeline, with strong level relationships across your accounts and impact-driven discovery conversations. You'll be a trusted voice in deal reviews and forecasting.
After 1 year:
You'll be managing multiple complex expansion trajectories at once, contributing meaningfully to net revenue retention with a healthy, well-covered pipeline — and actively raising the commercial bar for the team.
