We sell and support the leading social media management platform for businesses, helping organizations unlock the full value of social. Through powerful social intelligence and trusted partnership, we enable teams to build authentic relationships and drive meaningful business impact.
You’ll join a high-performing, collaborative team made up of some of the brightest minds in the industry, working with iconic brands like Campbell's, Salesforce, Airbnb, and Equifax. Just as importantly, Sprout is a place where your growth matters. You’ll have the freedom to shape your career, explore new paths, and build toward what’s next, with a team that’s invested in helping you get there.
What you’ll do
Own a book of ~60 Enterprise accounts — building relationships, driving adoption, and growing revenue within some of our largest, most strategic customers. The Customer Success Manager, Key Accounts plays a critical role in driving value through Sprout’s Social Intelligence platform.
Grow the relationship. Build strong, lasting relationships with key stakeholders — C-level executives, marketing directors, social media managers, and agency partners.
Bring a commercial mindset. Uncover new opportunities, qualify upsell and cross-sell leads, and confidently work through objections to expand accounts and defend revenue at renewal.
Run the cadence. Lead Mutual Success Plan reviews, monthly syncs, Executive Business Reviews, and adoption sessions to track usage, surface risks, and align on strategic goals.
Drive adoption. Partner with Onboarding and Professional Services to ramp new customers, and deliver ongoing training that keeps value visible throughout the client lifecycle.
Manage risk and retention. Spot churn risks early, resolve them proactively, and keep satisfaction high across your book. Collaborate effectively with Renewal Managers.
Tell the story with data. Track account health and key metrics, and turn them into a clear, compelling ROI narrative for customers and internally.
Work smart. Use generative AI tools like Claude and Gemini to speed up daily work — call prep, troubleshooting, drafting client messaging — so you can focus your time on the strategic parts of the job only you can own.
Hit your numbers. Consistently meet and exceed quota, managing your book against KPIs and your comp plan.
What you'll bring
Minimum qualifications:
4-6+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or Sales in B2B SaaS, including 2+ years managing an Enterprise book of business.

Demonstrated success retaining, renewing, and expanding Enterprise accounts through strategic relationship management.
Experience building relationships with, presenting to, and influencing senior decision-makers.
Familiarity with generative AI platforms (e.g., Claude, Gemini) and comfort integrating them into daily operations — call prep, troubleshooting, messaging — to work more efficiently, while retaining full ownership and leadership of strategic client engagements.
