Email is the universal communication tool for work. It’s where you discuss work, answer questions, and talk to all of your customers, vendors, and partners. But email wasn’t made for business and hasn’t evolved to help you work with a team. So you’re dropping the ball, missing important context, and relying on many siloed apps that make you less productive as a whole.
With more than 5,000 customers and $138 million in funding from Sequoia, Threshold (formerly DFJ), and executives from Atlassian, Okta, Qualtrics, and Zoom, Front is reinventing the inbox so people can accomplish more together. We’ve created one place where you communicate internally and externally, gain context about customers and projects, and access all your other tools so you can be more efficient, more fulfilled, and ultimately happier at work.
Expansion and Net Retention is what sets Front apart. We are already achieving world-class performance as Expansion accounts for 40% of our net new revenue quarterly and we’re just getting started.
We’re looking for an experienced sales leader to drive customer expansion, plan-type upgrades and new product attachment within Front’s customer base. You will be joining a team of people who are smart, organized, thorough, and take pride in solving new problems and delivering more value to customers. As the Head of Expansion, you will lead a team of Account Managers working across all customer segments to discover new needs and match them with Front solutions. This is a key role in not only taking new products to market through our install base, but in being a lynchpin in the feedback circuit to Product and Engineering on what Front should build next for our customers.
You will work with customers, train AMs, and work cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to meet revenue targets. You will develop playbooks that are effective globally by also working with our team in Paris serving the EMEA marketplace.
