Head Of Strategic Accounts
United States

Lead the team that shapes how the world's most recognized brands deliver customer experiences people actually value. As Head of Strategic Accounts, you will own revenue performance across a portfolio of enterprise accounts, set the sales strategy that drives new logo wins and expansion, and influence how Genesys shows up for its most important customers.

You will partner with senior leaders on the client side and across Genesys to turn business problems into measurable outcomes. That means understanding what each customer is trying to achieve, then showing how Genesys Cloud and AI-powered experience orchestration help them get there, rather than leading with features. At Genesys, we're transforming the customer experience landscape with empathy, AI innovation, and global impact, and you will be central to that work.

You will build and coach a high-performing sales team, drive pipeline creation, and work closely with marketing, product, and customer support teams to bring customer insight back into the business. Your decisions on account strategy, pricing, and deal structure will directly influence revenue and long-term customer relationships.

This role offers visibility with executive leadership, the chance to shape go-to-market strategy for strategic accounts, and a clear path to broader sales leadership responsibility as the business grows.
