Career & Market Insight

This Account Manager role at FMX sits at the intersection of customer success and sales — a growing and in-demand hybrid skillset in the SaaS industry. The focus on upselling and expansion (rather than new logo acquisition) means you'll develop deep expertise in land-and-expand sales motions, which is highly valued at B2B SaaS companies.

Compensation analysis: The base of $50K–$55K is on the lower end for SaaS account management, but the OTE of $100K–$110K is competitive for a mid-market AM role. If you can consistently hit quota, total earnings are solid. The 100% employer-paid health/dental/vision is a meaningful differentiator that adds real dollar value to the package.

Skills you'll build:

  • Proficiency in Gainsight and Salesforce — both highly transferable CRM/CS platform skills
  • Consultative selling and negotiation with executive stakeholders
  • Territory management and pipeline development in a SaaS environment

Culture signals: FMX positions itself as a fast-growing, remote-first startup with a close-knit team. The structured hiring process (four stages including a panel interview and sales exercise) signals a thoughtful culture that values fit and performance equally. The emphasis on values — Excellence, Teamwork, Integrity — alongside a flexible schedule and separate sick/vacation time are green flags for work-life balance.

One flag to watch: Internal FMX platform knowledge is listed as a requirement, suggesting this role may favor internal promotion or candidates with prior FMX experience.

FMX is looking to expand our Sales team to support continued growth while ensuring our current customers continue to receive a great experience with FMX.

The Account Manager is part of the Sales team and focuses on increasing customer value and "stickiness" through account expansion. In this role, you'll identify opportunities to upsell and cross-sell additional features and solutions to customers within your territory, helping them get more out of FMX as their needs evolve.

You'll work in a fast-paced, high-energy, and collaborative environment where you'll be expected to bring initiative every day, contribute to our sales strategy, and positively impact our company culture.

As an Account Manager, you will:

  • Upsell and cross-sell additional features of the FMX software
  • Convert leads generated by the retention team and generate leads within assigned territory
  • Prospect for new leads through the use of sales sequences and tools
  • Present informed offers that take into account customers' goals, needs, and recent activity
  • Keep accounts in compliance with the licenses that were purchased
  • Collaborate regularly with the Marketing department to produce effective campaigns
  • Record meetings, phone calls, follow-ups, and miscellaneous tasks in Gainsight
  • Follow upsell and expansion playbook to work an account from qualified to closed
  • Collaborate with the Customer Retention Manager and the rest of the CS team to build pipeline and close deals
  • Travel to customer events; approximately 1–3 events per quarter
