You'll be the owner of each partnership: protecting and renewing the base, building multi-year account strategy, and pursuing expansion as your clients add hotels, win new management contracts, and adopt more of Kalibri's product suite and Profit First Strategy.

Success in this role requires strong commercial judgment, the ability to navigate complex customer organizations, the ability to develop talent and build a cohesive, high-performing team, and comfort driving revenue conversations with senior stakeholders across evolving, data-driven solutions.

• Identify and drive expansion: new properties and management contracts, broader rollout across the portfolio, and cross-sell across Kalibri’s products

• Lead renewal strategy, negotiation, and contract execution, protecting revenue while creating room to grow

• Monitor account health and usage, and get ahead of churn risk before it becomes a problem

• Run executive business reviews that connect Kalibri's data to your clients' commercial and ownership goals
