The Role

The Strategic Account Manager (SAM) owns the success and growth of a single enterprise customer across a defined geographic region. This is an evolution of our Customer Account Manager role: alongside retention and commercial ownership, the SAM is accountable for regional market development — mapping the client's full event ecosystem, discovering net-new divisions and teams, and growing Swapcard 's market share within the account.

You will be the strategic advisor and commercial driver for your region, combining deep relationship management, operational discipline, and proactive discovery of new business. You will work hand-in-hand with Customer Implementation Managers (CIMs), who own technical delivery, so you can focus on strategy, growth, and stakeholder influence.

This is a role for someone who thinks like an owner: equally comfortable running an executive business review, building a regional growth plan, and uncovering the next expansion opportunity on an exhibition floor.

What you'll do

Client success & retention

- Drive platform adoption and demonstrable ROI across all accounts in your region, post-sale and post-renewal.

- Maintain high satisfaction and engagement; anticipate risk through active listening, usage monitoring, and early intervention.

- Own detractor and at-risk response (NPS / willingness-to-renew), coordinating outreach and mitigation.

Revenue growth & commercial ownership

- Support renewals, expansion, upgrades, and cross-sells for your regional portfolio.

- Build accurate forecasts grounded in client usage and market trends.

- Design and monetize add-ons in support of team lead, Marketplace activations, and enhanced services with the client.

Regional market development

- Track competitor tools, contract dates, and renewal cycles; maintain a living regional market map as appropriate

- Assess pain points, switching probability, and blockers; quantify and grow market share year over year.

Relationship management & influence

- Act as the primary contact and strategic advisor to regional client stakeholders.

- Build a multi-level influence network across digital operations, marketing, sales, and leadership.

- Maintain a structured engagement cadence: weekly with event teams, monthly with influencers, quarterly with executives, and bi-annual in-person reviews.

Strategic & regional planning

- Develop comprehensive account plans covering objectives, growth levers, adoption roadmap, and risk mitigation.

- Build 90/60/30-day action plans per key event to ensure timely delivery and maximum value.

- Define mutual success metrics (KPIs) with each stakeholder group and benchmark against comparable Swa
