About Connecteam

Connecteam is the leading platform for managing deskless teams, trusted by over 80,000 businesses worldwide.

We built Connecteam for real operators - the people running shifts, jobs, and teams across stores and sites. The kind of work that doesn't happen behind a desk, and doesn't have time for messy spreadsheets, scattered group chats, or tools that don't talk to each other.

Connecteam brings daily operations and team communication into one intuitive app - from hiring and scheduling to training, tasks, and day-to-day coordination. It gives teams the clarity and control to run the day, shift after shift, job after job.

Backed by $220M+ from Insights Partners, Stripes, and Tiger Global, Connecteam is rapidly expanding worldwide - empowering frontline teams to work smarter, stay connected, and operate with greater efficiency.

About the Role

This role sits on the Strategic Accounts team and focuses on franchise and multi-site retail brands.

You'll own a small set of named retail accounts and turn early traction and regional wins into brand-wide adoption. Success in this role comes from understanding how retail organizations actually operate and building a partnership tailored to each brand's goals and operating model.

This role offers meaningful upside and real ownership. You'll set the strategy for each account, develop long-term relationships with key stakeholders, and represent Connecteam at events and on-site meetings when it matters. You'll own deals end-to-end - from early outreach with a dedicated BDR, through discovery and close, to expansion across locations, regions, and use cases. Land-and-expand is how we win.

If you're excited about going deep on a small number of retail brands, building real partnerships, and shaping how Connecteam adds value over time, this role is for you.
