at SESAMm

🏢 About SESAMm

SESAMm is a unique AI-driven analytics company that processes over 20 billion articles to provide ESG, sentiment, and thematic insights for corporate decision-making. Working here means being at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and impactful business intelligence, helping clients make data-driven decisions on sustainability and market trends. The company's specialized focus on alternative data analytics creates a dynamic environment where your work directly influences how organizations understand their market position and ESG performance.

About This Role

As a Key Account Manager at SESAMm, you'll be the primary relationship manager for strategic clients, ensuring they maximize value from the company's AI-driven analytics platform. This role involves not just managing accounts but actively shaping product development by relaying client feedback to Product teams, while identifying cross-sell opportunities in the ESG and sentiment analytics space. Your impact will be measured by client retention, satisfaction, and revenue growth within your portfolio of enterprise accounts.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing usage metrics for your key accounts to identify potential risks or opportunities, followed by preparing for a project review session with a financial services client implementing ESG analytics. You'd spend midday collaborating with the Product team to prioritize a feature request based on client feedback, then conduct a strategic check-in with an executive stakeholder to discuss expanding their sentiment analysis capabilities. The day would wrap up with documenting insights and updating account plans based on client interactions.
