Toronto, ON, Canada
Posted on Jul 20, 2024
Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.
Our Partner Sales team is growing and we are looking for a Senior Account Manager who thrives on championing the success of small businesses. If you're fueled by the passion to make a difference, have a proven track record of account management excellence, and are committed to building trusting relationships with business owners and their accountants and bookkeepers, then Relay is the place for you!
Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America.

- Expand relationships with an existing account portfolio to drive referrals
- Go above and beyond just delivering your quota and strategize with team members to innovate and improve the overall account management processes and playbooks
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Customer Success, Marketing, Revenue Operations and Sales Enablement

- Hybrid work environment: we value meaningful collaboration and connection at our Toronto office twice a week, with lunch, snacks, and beverages on us.
- Dog-friendly space: can dogs really make you happy and healthy? We don’t know for sure, but since we don’t want to chance it, our office is 100% floof-friendly.
