Director Of Account Management

Who Connecteam is:

Connecteam is a TLV-based startup that's on a mission to change the work experience for 80% of the world's global workforce - the deskless employees.

Our business management platform helps thousands of businesses thrive by taking away the daily hustle and complexities of managing teams, so they can have the peace of mind to grow and run their business.

About the Role

The Director of Account Management at Connecteam owns the full expansion lifecycle — across both touch and no-touch motions — from surfacing growth opportunities to closing upsells. This leader will drive Connecteam's commercial expansion strategy within the existing customer base, ensuring every account reaches its full potential.

This role is both strategic and hands-on, blending leadership, commercial excellence, and operational rigor. The Director will lead a global, high-performing group spanning SDR, SMB Account Management, and Mid-Market Account Management teams — across the US, EMEA, and APAC regions — to build a scalable, data-driven expansion engine.

The ideal candidate combines analytical precision with sales acumen, optimizing funnels, elevating conversion and ACV metrics, and unlocking expansion opportunities through structured processes and deep customer understanding.
