Strategic Account Manager

Overview

Join the leader in providing smarter solutions for a safer world.

The property technology space is growing rapidly, and Kastle Systems is leading the way. Kastle Systems is the leader in managed security, with a track record of introducing innovative technologies to serve over 460M square feet of real estate globally. Clients span the commercial and multifamily real estate, education, and construction industries and the customers they serve. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an innovative leader to come in and have an immediate impact.

We are in a hyper‑growth phase, and this role is critical in driving forward our talent acquisition success.

The Strategic Account Manager is a senior‑level, strategic role responsible for the end‑to‑end success of Kastle’s most complex, multi‑site, and high‑value clients. Acting as a program leader and client relationship owner, this role will ensure long‑term satisfaction, retention, and growth by aligning corporate‑level objectives with local execution and by serving as the central point of accountability for the overall health of the relationship.

While this role will be primarily focused on driving account strategy, managing corporate‑level relationships, and identifying upsell and expansion opportunities, they must also be ready to step into tactical support when needed—particularly in cases where escalation management, service recovery, or strategic continuity are at stake.

This role is accountable for:

• Owning enterprise account health, visibility, and insight delivery
• Driving expansion through upsell and multi‑site adoption
• Deepening account loyalty and engagement of tenants and residents

This role partners closely with Customer Success Managers, Implementation, Product, and Sales teams to orchestrate a cohesive, value‑driven experience across all levels of the client organization.

In addition to a great work environment, we provide excellent benefits (Medical/Dental/Vision, 401K, Tuition/Training Assistance, Bright Horizons Lifestyle Assistance, Wellness Program, Paid Time Off & Holidays, etc.) and we are proud to be a Certified Great Place to Work with awards for being a Top Work Place.
