Responsible for keeping clients satisfied, maintaining relationships, avoiding churn and upselling when the opportunity arises, account managers are a unique blend of customer support, marketing, sales and even IT.

The role often requires cross-departmental collaboration to solve issues and ensure the client is happy.
