Our mission is to accelerate commerce with an open, secure, and flexible payment platform that welcomes all payment participants. Backed by Spectrum Equity, with a $75M investment, Spreedly is experiencing rapid growth.
We now serve 600 customers globally. Many of these direct customers are platforms and marketplaces that have thousands of their merchants leveraging our payments platform. Our customers include industry leaders in digital goods, order ahead and delivery, online marketplaces, donation/giving platforms, event ticketing, and financial services.
Our employees help us execute against our vision through building a culture focused on autonomy, transparency, and collaboration in a dynamic, high-growth organization.
Spreedly is seeking a UK-based Senior Technical Account Manager (or Global Account Manager, as we often refer to this role) to join our team. As a Global Account Manager at Spreedly, you will be responsible for establishing and nurturing strategic accounts with our premier customers – driving business value and ensuring their success. Our approach focuses on aligning our solutions with our customers’ primary business initiatives to maximize mutual benefits.
As a consultative and trusted advisor, you will serve as the executive contact for our customers, representing Spreedly and effectively communicating the value we bring to their ecosystem. Your primary objective will be to lead the overall account strategy, fostering strong relationships and expanding our reach into the customer’s organization and its subsidiaries. Additionally, you will need to drive cross-functional collaboration and alignment across different departments and teams in order to best answer any strategic and/or product-related questions. Because this role will work closely with a permanently assigned Growth Account Executive who is responsible for all contract negotiation and pricing, it is imperative that a solid internal partnership is created to show uniformity to our premier accounts.
