Director of Key Account Management (m/f/d)

Your mission

As Director of Key Account Management at BuildingMinds, you will own the company’s most strategic client relationships and drive long-term revenue growth across our key account portfolio. You combine the gravitas of a trusted C‑suite advisor with the commercial hunger of a top‑performing sales professional — and you use both to build partnerships that last. Note: This is an individual contributor role at launch, with the expectation to build and lead a broader KAM team as the function and portfolio grow.

• Own the company-wide key account strategy: define prioritisation, set targets with the CCO, and establish the KAM playbook
• Monitor strategy execution and produce executive-level reporting on portfolio health, revenue development, and growth opportunities
• Develop and own strategic account plans for each key account, aligned with company objectives and long-term partnership value
• Serve as senior point of contact and trusted advisor for assigned key accounts, maintaining C‑suite relationships
• Proactively originate and close upsell and cross-sell opportunities across your portfolio
• Actively push and influence other KAMs to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within their accounts
• Coach and support other Key Account Managers as a senior sparring partner and escalation point (non-hierarchical)
• Lead AI exploration with enterprise accounts — identify where AI capabilities create new value and translate into commercial proposals
• Engage stakeholders beyond existing client contacts, mapping decision-makers and sponsors across each account
• Develop fund and growth strategies per account, identifying new business needs and emerging budget cycles
• Own pricing strategy and commercial structuring for your accounts
• Work closely with a dedicated project team (Project Manager + Solution Engineer) to ensure seamless delivery and client satisfaction
• Coordinate with the project team to translate client needs into solution design and implementation
• Lead contract renewals, negotiations, and commercial governance across your portfolio
• Act as primary escalation point for client concerns — proactively resolve risks before they impact retention
• Zero churn: retain 100% of your key account portfolio
• Successfully close priority deals currently active in pipeline

Your profile

• 8+ years in a commercial role and/or 5+ years in the real estate market

• Experience in the real estate or PropTech industry (strongly preferred)
• Excellent written and spoken French and English; German is a plus

• A collaborative, team‑player attitude alongside strong personal accountability
