e2open is the connected supply chain platform, purpose-built for today and tomorrow.

Continued growth at e2open has created a need for additional supply chain sales professionals to join the team. The Account Director is a senior position, partnering with a small number of existing clients (6-12). Your responsibilities are the retention and growth of these important named clients.

As an enterprise sales professional with supply chain experience, you will excel in engaging in senior-level conversations to explore and exploit opportunities.

Your responsibilities:

• Growth – e2open has the broadest enterprise supply chain capability available in the market. Solutions span channel, supply, demand, logistics, and global trade. Our enterprise customers are some of the largest companies in the world, and the demands on their supply chains are ever-changing. You will work across the account, exploring opportunities for value creation and growth. This includes extending existing capabilities across divisions and geographies, as well as uncovering/creating need for new capabilities. Our average customer has millions of dollars of whitespace – and a need to transform their operations. With your help we can do just that.
• Retention – e2open delivers transformational supply chain solutions. We enjoy very long-term partnerships with clients – many customers have been working with us for over 15 years, continuously extending their solutions. We invest significantly in our Professional Services and Customer Success teams to ensure that solutions are deployed and adopted successfully. As the commercial account owner, you are a senior member of the account team and help to ensure customer satisfaction and retention, building a solid platform of trust to expand our value.

The role:

• Positioning high-value supply chain solutions, typically $200k-$1M+ annual subscription fee

• Measured against growth in recurring SaaS revenue
