OBJECTIVE

Scale Neurons Lab's delivery organization into a predictable engine for client value and expansion revenue — leading a team of Senior ADMs, owning client relationships at the executive level, and positioning Neurons Lab as a premier AI partner for enterprise clients.

KPI

  • Expansion revenue ≥ 50% of total revenue
  • PoC-to-Production conversion rate > 30%
  • Business Impact Score (BIS) > 40% across active portfolio
  • Referral Rate > 30% on completed engagements
  • Average expansion deal size $150k+, with Tier 1 accounts weighted higher
  • 90%+ of project issues resolved at the team level without CDO escalation
  • Client satisfaction (CSAT) consistently maintained and improved

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1) ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

  • Own the Account Development Plan (ADP) system across the portfolio.

Coach ADMs to maintain a living ADP per Tier 1 / Tier 2 account: stakeholder map, Business Value / Personal Value / Trust Value per key stakeholder, expansion pipeline, next-best actions.

  • Set the bar for relationship depth.

Coach ADMs to move from execution-focused to relationship-focused delivery: regular committed BD time, multi-threaded relationships, proactive value creation outside paid scope.

  • Be the senior presence at critical moments

— executive meetings, escalations, renewals, pricing negotiations, and stakeholder conflicts. Personally hold 1–3 C-suite relationships per Tier 1 account.

  • Own client portfolio health as a system, not a feeling.

DRI for: Expansion Revenue %, PoC-to-Production conversion, BIS, CSI, Referral Rate.
