Full Job Description

Railroads didn't change the world because tracks were laid once. What transformed commerce was the expansion of connected networks: routes multiplied, standards emerged, and usage deepened over time. That expansion didn't happen by accident. It was driven by people who identified where connections mattered most, built the systems to sustain them, and led the teams that made it all move. Mercury is in that expansion phase now. The tracks are laid. The Account Development team exists to deepen usage across a growing customer base, and it's already working. As the team scales, we're adding a second Senior Manager to lead alongside an existing peer. You'll start with a small group of ADMs and build the team largely from scratch through your own hiring. This is a role for someone who has done this before. You've led a team running an upsell or expansion motion, you know what a high-performing ADM looks like, and you've coached people to consistently hit targets in a high-velocity environment. You'll come in with a foundation already in place: established playbooks, a peer to collaborate with, and a track record of results to build on. Your job will be to take a team of Account Development Managers and drive them to the next level. You'll own your team's performance against expansion and adoption metrics, contribute to the continued evolution of how the function operates, and serve as a critical feedback loop from customers back into Mercury's product and roadmap. What you'll do: Lead and develop your team. Coach a team of Account Development Managers through structured 1:1s, call reviews, and account strategy sessions that drive real behavior change. Set clear standards for what great looks like across prioritization, customer engagement, expansion strategy, and follow-through, and hold the team to them. Hire and ramp new ADMs with clear expectations from day one. Own your team's performance. Drive consistent attainment of expansion goals by tracking pipeline health, con
