Role Overview

This is a brand-new, high-impact role with the opportunity for ownership and professional growth. We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Account Manager to support the growth and success of our existing and future B2C client relationships. This role partners closely with the sales and marketing teams to deliver a world-class client experience through account support, relationship management, operational coordination, and client engagement initiatives.

What You'll Do
  • Own outbound and inbound engagement with Black Spectacles' B2C subscriber base, with a primary focus on upselling existing customers into the expert tier
  • Convert inbound prospects who reach out through customer service channels asking which subscription tier to choose
  • Manage cancellation save conversations and build out our engagement pipeline for subscribers who pause their membership
  • Handle a limited volume of customer service tickets (approximately 10% of the role) that are not resolved through the AI support tool
  • Partner with sales and engineering to help structure and clean up B2C customer data inside HubSpot, building the infrastructure needed to operate this book as a true sales pipeline
  • Track engagement and account health metrics to inform outreach priorities and surface at risk subscribers
  • Contribute ideas, processes, and playbooks that shape this role into a scalable function
  • Maintain accurate records inside HubSpot CRM
  • Operate with a high level of professionalism, ownership, and follow through across every customer interaction

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree
  • 2 to 4+ years of account management experience with a sales component
  • Demonstrated ability to upsell, cross sell, or grow existing accounts
  • Strong written and verbal communication with a relationship first approach
  • Self-starter who is comfortable operating without a polished playbook or fully built CRM on day one
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage a high volume of accounts independently
  • HubSpot experience preferred; Intercom and Stripe experience a plus
  • Comfortable in a fully remote, high accountability environment
  • High integrity, coachability, and a genuine interest in helping customers succeed
