Founding Account Manager

Leland’s mission is to unlock human potential by making the world’s expertise more accessible. We do that through a platform that connects people with coaching, content, and courses that can can help them achieve their most ambitious career and educational goals. Since our founding in 2021, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals, raised $19M from world-class investors, and built the industry leader in educational and career coaching.

We're hiring our first dedicated Account Manager to own the full lifecycle of Leland's B2B partner relationships, including onboarding, engagement, renewal, and expansion. This is a founding role, which means you'll inherit a growing book of enterprise, SMB, and university accounts across offerings (including AI training) and build the playbook for how Leland serves its B2B partners at scale.

This role is right for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes pride in the details, and can hold their own in a room with senior stakeholders. You will closely manage the relationships with clients as you build systems, track funnel data, and find ways to drive more value for every partner in your book.

If you've worked in B2B account management or consulting and want to grow into a senior role at a fast-moving startup, we’d love to chat with you!

  • Build onboarding and implementation collateral including kickoff decks, end-user one-pagers, and email communications tailored to each partner

  • Run kickoff sessions with clients and (where applicable) their end users

  • Create communication language for coaches on program specifics and set up coach matching systems for 1:1 sessions

Usage and Funnel Health

  • Build individualized follow-up systems to address funnel drop-off

  • Coordinate with clients on broader communications to fix systemic leaks

Contract Compliance

  • Navigates difficult client situations with professionalism and composure

  • Fluent with data and able to use it to tell a story

  • Excited about operating in a role that will rapidly grow and change alongside Leland's B2B business

  • Opportunity to take part in building a world-class team
