The Role

As Key Account Manager, you will own a portfolio of SimScale's most valuable existing enterprise customers with one clear mandate: expand our footprint and scale revenue within these strategic accounts. You will build multi-year account strategies, develop executive relationships across engineering and simulation leadership, and turn successful initial deployments into organization-wide adoption of SimScale's platform and AI capabilities.
