Job Description

As a Client Director , you will own Nexthink's most important and complex enterprise relationships. This is not a traditional account management role. You are the executive face of Nexthink to a defined portfolio of marquee accounts — driving renewals, expanding platform adoption, and building the kind of multi-threaded, CxO-level relationships that create lasting customer loyalty and significant revenue growth.

You will be the one connecting Nexthink's capabilities to what matters most to your clients: reducing IT costs, improving employee productivity, and protecting the digital workplace at scale.

If you are an enterprise sales leader who thrives on complexity, operates naturally at the executive level, and knows how to turn a strong renewal into a transformative partnership — this role was designed for you.

What You'll Own

Executive Relationship Management — Build and deepen multi-level relationships within your assigned accounts, from IT and service desk teams all the way to CIO and C-suite. You are the trusted advisor your clients call when they have a problem or an opportunity.

Account Growth and Expansion — Develop and execute strategic account plans that drive license expansion, professional services adoption, and renewal excellence. You set the commercial direction for your portfolio and are accountable for the results.

Strategic Value Delivery — Partner with your clients to build a clear, outcomes-driven roadmap that aligns Nexthink's platform to their business priorities. You don't just renew contracts — you help customers realize measurable value.

Virtual Team Leadership — Orchestrate internal Nexthink resources across functions and geographies to deliver an outstanding client experience. You set the tone, lead the strategy, and hold everyone accountable to the customer's success.

Global Account Development — Manage worldwide deployment and development of your assigned accounts, including coordinating resources across regions to ensure consistent, high-impact engagement.

Financial Performance — Own your book of business. You are responsible for achieving targets across licenses, renewals, and professional services — with full visibility and accountability for the commercial health of your portfolio.

What Sets You Apart

You are a strategic thinker and a skilled operator — you can build a three-year account vision and close the quarter

You run disciplined pipelines, qualify rigorously, and don't chase the wrong opportunities

You are a natural relationship builder — people trust you because you do what you say you're going to do

You are intellectually curious and learn fast — Nexthink operates in a fast-moving market, and you adapt quickly
