Job Description

Director responsible for enterprise accounts, managing outcomes and delivery in innovative AI solutions. Leading customer relationships and driving commercial growth at Ema.

Responsibilities:

  • Own your accounts end-to-end: every engagement, every outcome, every relationship. Everything good or bad stops with you.
  • Be the single point of contact the customer calls for any problem — delivery, quality, adoption, escalation, or expansion.
  • Maintain a holistic view of each account: engagement status, risk exposure, opportunity pipeline, and the customer’s strategic priorities for the quarter.
  • Run account planning: engagement roadmaps, resource forecasting, risk assessment, and growth strategy.
  • Staff and direct delivery teams (Engineering Leads, Implementation Managers, AI Application Engineers) across your accounts.
  • Oversee delivery quality across all engagements: review solution architectures, attend go-live rehearsals, ensure evaluation rigor.
  • Manage cross-engagement dependencies within an account (e.g., shared integration infrastructure between parallel deployments).
  • Serve as the delivery escalation point: join war rooms, coordinate fixes across Engineering and Product, and communicate resolution to the customer.
  • Own post-go-live outcomes: adoption, ROI, accuracy, and user trust. This role absorbs the Outcomes Manager function for your accounts.
  • Run regular usage readouts: AI deflection rates, false positive/negative trends, HITL escalation patterns, user bypass rates, and trust signals.
  • Drive continuous improvement cycles: readout → diagnose → prioritize → fix → re-measure.
  • Run QBRs with VP/C-level stakeholders: present outcomes, risks, improvement plans, and the strategic roadmap.
  • Grow your book through outcome-driven expansion: deliver the first SOW excellently, measure ROI rigorously, present evidence to the C-suite, then propose the next SOW grounded in proven value.
  • Act as the voice of your customers to Product and Core Engineering. Translate field patterns into structured, actionable feedback — not one-off requests.
  • Coach Engineering Leads and Implementation Managers on architecture quality, customer communication, delivery discipline, and outcome thinking.

Requirements:

  • 15+ years in enterprise technology delivery, consulting, account management, or customer leadership.
  • 5+ years owning enterprise accounts end-to-end: delivery, outcomes, relationship, and growth — not individual projects within someone else’s account.
  • Track record managing or directing delivery teams (Engineering Leads, TPMs, consultants) assigned to their accounts.
  • Post-go-live outcome ownership: measured ROI, tracked adoption, driven continuous improvement, and rebuilt trust after production issues.
  • Commercial accountability: grown account revenue through outcome-driven expansion, not just retention.
  • Enterprise stakeholder management at VP/C-level across multiple concurrent accounts.
  • Production track record — beyond POCs. Scale and accountability required.
  • Experience with AI, automation, or agentic workflow platforms in production.
  • Background at a consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte) or enterprise SaaS PS org (ServiceNow, Salesforce, UiPath) in a delivery-heavy account leadership role.
  • Experience with partner-mediated delivery (delivering through consulting partners to end clients).
  • Familiarity with enterprise integrations (APIs, auth, CRM/HRIS/ITSM platforms) at a judgment level, not implementation level.
  • Experience in a scaling startup ($5M–$50M ARR) where account management practices were being built, not inherited.
