Job Description:

Personio's intelligent HR platform helps small and medium-sized organizations unlock the power of people by making complicated, time-consuming tasks simple and efficient. Our team of 1,500 Personios is building user-friendly products that delight our 15,000+ customers and their 1.5 million employees. Ready to make an impact from day one? The Role: How you'll make an impact at Personio. If you're excited by the prospect of joining a company with vast untapped market potential, a career at Personio could perfectly align with your ambitions. You’ll use your deep understanding of customer needs to drive the growth of a transformative product in an HR technology industry set to soar, offering a lifeline to millions of organizations still stuck in Excel chaos. As an Account Manager in our strategic sales organization, you’ll own revenue growth and retention across an assigned book of Personio customers. You’ll maximize lifetime value by orchestrating high-value renewals and running systematic, sales-led cross-sell/upsell motions that expand adoption across Core HR, Payroll, Recruiting, and more,positioning Personio as the customer’s strategic people-operations platform. Your mission is to help customers automate busywork, turn people data into clear actions, hire faster, onboard smoother, and free HR to focus on people, while you deliver measurable NRR and customer impact.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own a high-impact book of business: Build trusted relationships with key stakeholders across your portfolio. Own the full upsell cycle while sustaining strong retention
  • Drive revenue growth: Expand strategically through account growth and renewals—prioritize the highest-impact opportunities to exceed targets
  • Lead renewals like a pro: Run end-to-end renewal cycles: craft offers, negotiate terms, manage approvals, and document deal insights to protect and extend value for the customer
  • Drive expansion: Identify and prioritize upsell/cross-sell plays, run crisp discovery, deliver compelling demos, and negotiate to close. Simplify complex expansions and present clear ROI to champions and HR leaders
  • Be the voice of the customer, inside and out: Capture feedback and market signals, spot patterns, and channel them to Product/Engineering to influence the roadmap with real business impact
  • Forecast with discipline: Maintain spotless pipeline hygiene and precise monthly expansion and churn forecasts in SFDC. Build close plans, de-risk early, and communicate status with zero surprises
  • See risk early, act earlier: Detect downgrade and churn signals (adoption gaps, loss of executive sponsorship, competitive pressure) and execute structured save plays. Handle escalations with calm, solution-oriented leadership
  • Win as one team: Orchestrate the right internal experts at the right time so every customer interaction is seamless

Requirements:

  • 1+ years in sales or account management with a proven track record of growing accounts and exceeding retention targets
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills
  • Ability to build and sustain relationships across diverse customer profiles
  • Background in client-facing roles (AM/CSM/Sales)
  • Cross-functional coordination skills
