Scaled Account Manager, Japan

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role:

• Build scaled renewal and customer retention programs to support a large volume of customers
• Responsible for forecasting and delivering revenue targets for all accounts in our scaled segments
• Work cross-functionally and collaboratively with internal teams (sales, customer success, solution engineer, deal-desk, ops, legal) to ensure timely renewals and expansion
• Innovate and iterate on the contract renewal process to retain and grow customers while mitigating churn or contraction
• Identify and manage expansion opportunities to ensure Notion adoption within our customer base
• Partner with the Customer Success team to drive scaled outreach programs ensuring high degree of usage and adoption
• Build strong relationship with key stakeholders and decision makers to secure our important enterprise customers in the region

What You'll Achieve:

1. Founding member of the Scaled Account Management role: As one of the Scaled Account Manager in Japan, you will help build the foundation for a future, revenue-focused team
2. Advise our fastest growing customers: Be the first line of contact for all our customer's needs and summarize key learnings back to our leadership teams
3. Join a fantastic team at a magical time: We've hit profitability and millions of users with a small team, which gives us a huge green field to work with. You'll join at the perfect time to shape how we grow from here.
4. Meaningfully shape our future product: As you engage with customers, you'll gain insights to help us serve them better — and work with the product to inform what we do next.
5. Elevate your skills as we tackle our most impactful challenges: We've achieved more than teams 10x our size in less time — and there's so much more to do and learn.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 3+ years of experience in account management, preferably in a high-volume environment
• Ability to think systematically and operationally, with a focus on identifying and analyzing processes, and workflows, to service a large set of customers
• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding renewal targets and revenue objectives
• Strong negotiation, presentation, and closing skills
