ESG Account Manager at Worldly | SaaS Career Growth in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Career trajectory: This is a mid-to-senior individual contributor account management role at a mission-driven SaaS company, reporting directly to the SVP of Growth — giving you meaningful visibility with leadership. The ESG/supply chain intelligence space is rapidly growing due to regulatory pressure (EU CSRD, SEC climate rules), making this a high-demand niche to build expertise in.
Compensation vs. market: The US base of $110k is at or slightly below market median for senior SaaS account managers (typical range: $100k–$140k base), but the annual incentive bonus and stock options add meaningful upside. The UK ($85k USD) and EUR ($77k–$80k USD) bands are competitive for those markets. Note that equity is framed as incentive stock options rather than RSUs, which carries more risk but potential upside in a growing company.
Skills developed here are highly marketable:
- B2B SaaS account management at scale (large portfolio)
- ESG/sustainability domain expertise — increasingly required by Fortune 500 compliance teams
- Revenue forecasting, pipeline management, and upsell strategy
Green flags: Public benefit corporation status signals genuine mission alignment; 40,000 customer base suggests product-market fit; proactive accounts program rebuild means this role has room to make visible impact.
Watch for: The note about "historically inconsistent engagement" with accounts suggests a rebuilding phase — exciting for entrepreneurial AMs, but potentially challenging if tooling/processes aren't mature. Comfort with ambiguity is explicitly flagged as critical.
Location: United States, UK, or Europe (Remote)

About the Opportunity
In this role, you'll work as a key contributor within Worldly's Growth Team to manage the ongoing development and implementation of a comprehensive Accounts program for Worldly customers. These companies face urgent sustainability improvement mandates across massive supply chains, and your team will ensure the Worldly platform is an indispensable resource in helping them meet these challenges.
Most of these accounts have historically not had consistent engagement with our accounts team, only receiving reactive support as needed. You will be responsible for evolving the relationship with these accounts, proactively engaging them to ensure they are realizing the full value of the Worldly portfolio of solutions. Your primary strategic focus will be to drive consistent and sustainable growth across your book of business. This role reports to the SVP, Growth.
What You'll Do
- Consistently meet account growth targets, both for revenue and engagement
- Serve as the primary point of contact for a large portfolio of Worldly client accounts, fostering deeper relationships to help them realize the value of their Worldly investment
- Manage a pipeline of opportunities and reliably forecast revenue on a weekly basis from three primary sources: renewal, upsell, and associated (account-influenced indirect revenue)
- Contribute to the ongoing development of Worldly's Accounts program, relentlessly seeking process improvements and collaborating with peers to implement scalable solutions
- Develop deep working relationships with Product and Partnerships teams, to integrate new in-house and third-party offerings into the Account Management program
