Xello is looking for a Strategic Territory Manager

__

Who are you?

You are a natural relationship builder. You’re a Strategic Territory Manager with a proven track record of results, preferably in SaaS. You are a strategic thinker who sees the bigger picture and can use this vision to reduce churn, build relationships, and identify growth opportunities. Your empathy and service-oriented mindset help make clients feel like they’ve found a trusted advisor – someone who values their success as much as they do. Above all, you identify with our mission of empowering educators with the tools they need to help students plan their successful futures.

Leading a cross-functional team, as a Strategic Territory Manager, you’re responsible for overseeing the growth and success of high priority states. Able to see the big picture, you establish the territory strategy and plan that will win new clients, retain existing accounts, and grow business. With an intimate understanding of territory needs, you deliver value to clients with each interaction. In your enthusiasm and eagerness to help, you uncover creative approaches to move the business forward and develop the strategies needed to increase Xello’s foothold. As an expert multitasker, you’re able to manage renewals, drive incremental revenue, and identify and pursue new business opportunities. Never satisfied with the status quo, you’re passionate about finding new ways to support Xello in our own quest for continual improvement by analysing our processes, finding efficiencies, and shaping consistently high-quality interactions for every client.
