Job Description
If this is the job for you, you'll have the opportunity to oversee a wide variety of HubSpot and RevOps clients while also shaping the technical solutions that win and grow them. This role is a blend of account strategist and solutions architect: you'll be the point person and act as the liaison between the client's goals and needs, and you'll also design the technical approach that brings those goals to life, all while being mindful of internal resources to deliver services on time, within budget, and, our hope is to meet and exceed expectations in that process. You would be working hand-in-hand with a great team of Account Strategists, HubSpot specialists, web developers, a business development team, and more.
Someone who is successful in this position must have deep knowledge and expertise of the HubSpot platform and will split time across account management, strategy development, solutions architecture, and execution of said strategy. On the strategist side, you'll own client relationships, set clear expectations, and lead through empathy.
