Vetspire Account Manager

Description

Vetspire Account Manager

Vetspire is an Artificial Intelligence driven practice management platform for veterinary hospitals and organizations. We’re a startup reimagining the way that veterinarians use technology by bringing state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence directly into the exam room. Our mission is to empower veterinarians to deliver better care to their patients through a combination of research leveraging our AI-driven insights and superior technology in the hospital.

Our quickly growing team is looking to hire an Account Manager to provide excellent client support and to deepen relationships with key client stakeholders. Ensuring that we build trustful, healthy, strategic relationships with all of our clients is a top operational priority. In this role, you will be the face of the Vetspire organization to a growing number of Vetspire client accounts. You’ll be expected to build positive rapport, and create long-lasting relationships with the client accounts you manage. In this capacity, you will answer questions on general Vetspire business, project status, roadmap development, and more. You will hear about support issues, problems / bugs with the clients’ user base, and be expected to help troubleshoot where possible, and escalate as appropriate within the greater Vetspire team. You will need to help with ongoing education of the evolving Vetspire platform, to ensure that the clients are making optimal use of the platform and its enhancements, proactively training and educating them on new enhancements if needed. We encourage you to use your judgement to determine what a client needs, in order for Vetspire to offer comprehensive, excellent support. Would the account benefit from an in person visit to focus on training on a new key feature? Make the trip!

In addition to being hands on and interactive with your clients regarding the details of their platform enhancements and bugs, you will also be documenting and tracking these issues, requests, grievances, and more. You will meet with the rest of Vetspire’s Account Management team on a regular basis to present these reports, along with details of any outstanding or major cases. We will use these trends to continue the refinement and development of our Account Management strategies and planning for all clients. Vetspire’s Account Management division is in its fledgling stage and you will have a chance to help shape its direction in this role. As Vetspire scales as an organization, having a solid foundation in the stable management of our client relationship management will be imperative to keeping clients for life.

Excellent, “white glove” client relationship management will be important for client satisfaction and loyalty. You will need to be extremely communicative, thorough, and professional in working with our clients. You will often hear complaints, requests with aggressive deadlines, or the need to fix bugs and problems on a fast turnaround. You will need to handle these requests while maintaining a great relationship with the clients, ensuring them that we will take care of their needs as an organization. We need to exert excellent soft communication skills – being super friendly, patient, and going out of your way to be proactively communicative and helpful will be important in this role. Over time, you will become familiar with the clients and develop a trustful relationship with them, which will help give them the peace of mind that Vetspire will handle anything when problems arise. Ultimately, you will help establish Vetspire’s reputation as a company that offers top notch client account management during all client interactions. You will work closely with the rest of our Account Management team to contribute to the planning and execution of our client relationship management tactics, through strategic product communications and more.
