We are trusted by businesses in over 127 countries and recognized by G2 and SME100, and we operate as a globally distributed team with a diverse and inclusive culture.\nOur Culture\nSolve Customer Problems: Every effort must solve real customer pain points. No guesswork, just real feedback and clear value.\nThe 80/20 Rule: We focus on the 20% of actions that create 80% of the value. Simple is powerful.\n100% Alignment, 80% Accuracy: Perfect plans can wait. Clear goals come first.\nBe Direct: We give honest feedback and tackle problems head-on.\nOwn It and Support Each Other: We step up, help out and drive outcomes together.\nBuild Human Connections: Work is better when we trust, care and celebrate wins together.\nRole Description\nWe're hiring our Founding Account Manager for the EU to build respond.io's Account Management function in Europe from the ground up. This is a Day 0 role: there is no existing playbook, no fixed KPIs and no template. You will work directly with the Head of Department to design how we engage, retain and grow our self-service customers and small key accounts across the EU.\nYou will spend roughly 70% of your time on our self-service cohort, customers who today have never spoken to a human at respond.io, and 30% on a small portfolio of high-potential key accounts. Your job is to move the self-service base from \"unmanaged\" to \"observed and engaged\", run monthly engagement experiments, and surface what drives retention and expansion in Europe. You will succeed if you are energized by ambiguity, comfortable deciding with incomplete information, and excited to be part of a small founding team.\nThe role\nEurope is not one market. Customers buy in different languages, rely on different messaging channels, and operate under GDPR and local data-protection expectations that shape how they roll out WhatsApp and AI agents. A large share of our EU customers bought respond.io without ever talking to a human. That changes with you.\nYour goal is to help EU customers expand, retain and get more value from the platform through onboarding and best practices. It is a one-to-many role, so you will learn how to make an impact at scale across several languages and countries rather than account by account.\nThis is an early-stage role. We have a first version of the Account Management playbook and early results, but the EU is untouched. You will be the first AM in the region, working directly with the executive team, with real room to shape how the playbook evolves as it scales globally.\nThis is a commercial role. You grow revenue from existing customers and stop revenue from leaving. If you want to own a number and build the machine others will later operate, keep reading.\nWhat you'll do\nGrow the base\nOwn expansion revenue: usage growth, plan upgrades, monthly-to-annual conversions and multi-location rollouts.\nFind adoption opportunities by helping customers deploy best practices, use AI agents and adopt more platform features.\nWork from usage and billing signals, because that is where expansion converts.\nRun activation rescue on accounts that bought but never fully deployed, including accounts stalled on WhatsApp Business setup or compliance questions.\nTailor engagement by country and language, and share what works so it can be repeated across markets.\nDefend the base\nSpot at-risk behavior early and intervene before the cancellation, not after.\nAnalyze every EU cancellation, find the root cause, document it and share it with product and revenue leadership.\nStabilize high-potential accounts that currently have no dedicated point of contact.\nHandle customer questions on data privacy and GDPR in partnership with our security and legal teams.\nLog every account touch from day one. We measure AM impact with data, so your results will be provable, not anecdotal.\nWhat we're looking for\n2+ years in B2B SaaS Account Management, Customer Success or Sales, where you held a revenue, expansion or retention number.\nManaged a portfolio of 50-100 accounts and know how to focus on the ones that matter most.\nFluent English and Spanish, with the ability to run customer conversations and onboarding in both. Other EU languages (German, French, Italian, Portuguese) are a strong plus.\nBased in the EU and comfortable working CET/CEST hours, with some overlap with our APAC and MENA colleagues.\nWorking knowledge of the European business landscape, including how GDPR and data-residency expectations affect SaaS and messaging adoption.\nFamiliarity with how European businesses use WhatsApp and other messaging channels is a strong plus.\nData-driven by default; fixes broken things without being asked; comfortable operating where the playbook is still being written.\nWhat's in it for you\nFounding role with direct exposure to the executive team and real influence over the function's design.\nClear growth path: build the EU playbook and have a team built around you.\nBase plus variable tied to expansion revenue and retention performance.\nThe ownership of an early-stage role, backed by a profitable and well-funded company.\nFlexible, remote-friendly environment built for sustainable performance.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5378,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Spanish","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Software","Conversational AI","Customer Support & Help Desk Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T02:15:58Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/respond-account-manager-eu","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/respond-account-manager-eu.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T03:30:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5496,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":37556},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=37556"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frespond-account-manager-eu"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frespond-account-manager-eu"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frespond-account-manager-eu"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/respond-account-manager-eu\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frespond-account-manager-eu"}]}
