About the Role
We are looking for a Strategic Account Manager to lead the day-to-day delivery and growth of OpenArt’s largest strategic accounts, including one of the world’s leading entertainment companies.
These relationships demand an exceptional standard of execution. Every email, presentation, deliverable, and meeting must be thoughtful, polished, and client-ready. You will bring structure to complex, cross-functional engagements by owning the operating cadence, coordinating internal teams, preparing executive-level materials, and ensuring consistent follow-through.
You will work closely with Enterprise GTM, Sales, Product, Studio, Legal, and Security to deliver a seamless client experience. You will also help turn what we learn from our flagship accounts into a repeatable operating playbook for future strategic customers.
This role is ideal for someone trained in a top-tier professional services environment who wants to bring that standard of client service and execution to one of the fastest-moving companies in AI.

Lead the day-to-day operating cadence for OpenArt’s largest strategic accounts, including meetings, agendas, notes, action items, follow-ups, and deliverable tracking.
Program-manage client onboarding and rollouts across multiple business units, stakeholder groups, and concurrent workstreams.
Prepare polished, executive-ready materials, including business reviews, account updates, proposals, presentations, and training content.
Coordinate teams across Enterprise GTM, Sales, Product, Studio, Legal, and Security so clients experience one coherent OpenArt.
Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders and proactively address risks, blockers, dependencies, and changing priorities.
Track product usage, adoption, account health, and expansion signals to support renewal and upsell opportunities.
Partner with commercial leads to identify new use cases, business units, and opportunities to grow each strategic relationship.
Handle confidential client information, sensitive creative materials, and intellectual property with sound judgment and discretion.
Document effective processes and improve OpenArt’s strategic account playbook so it can scale across future enterprise customers.
