About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the Strategic Accounts NRR and GRR targets — full, unambiguous accountability for the retention and revenue health of the segment's book of business.
Define the Strategic Accounts coverage model: which accounts are in the segment, how they are tiered, what the service standard is for each tier, and how the Principal / Sr. TSM / TSM layer is deployed within it.
Develop the segment's annual operating plan: headcount, account assignment rationale, performance targets by tier, and investment priorities.
Maintain a precise, current view of the segment's commercial health — renewal pipeline, at-risk clusters, expansion opportunity, and competitive displacement risk — and report it to the SVP accurately and without delay.
Set the segment's NRR recovery strategy when accounts are at risk: cross-functional resource deployment, executive escalation pathways, and timeline accountability.
Serve as the senior RingCentral post-sales executive in the segment's most strategically important accounts — not occasionally, not just at renewals.
Build and maintain peer-level CXO and C-suite relationships across the Strategic Accounts portfolio — relationships that are independent of the assigned TSM and that provide the VP with direct intelligence about account health, competitive exposure, and strategic direction.
Lead RingCentral's executive engagement program for Strategic Accounts: structured CXO touchpoints, executive advisory forums, customer advisory board membership, and joint business planning sessions with the customer's senior leadership.
Personally lead the EBR for the segment's top-five accounts at least annually; participate in the EBR for the top-twenty at least semi-annually.
Own the executive escalation pathway for Strategic Accounts: when a customer escalates to the CEO level, the VP, Strategic Accounts is the first internal executive who owns the response.
Lead 2–3 Directors of Technical Success — Strategic Accounts, holding them accountable for team performance, Director-level customer engagement, and the development of their TSM pods.
Maintain a close working relationship with Principal TSMs assigned to Strategic Accounts — the VP's most senior IC practitioners.
The VP and Principal TSMs operate as a team at the top of the account pyramid; the VP provides organizational leverage and executive access, the Principal TSMs provide account depth and continuity.
Coach Directors on how to lead through complex account situations, how to develop TSMs toward the Principal level, and how to use the VP's executive access strategically rather than reactively.
Own succession planning for the segment: identify the next Director and the next VP-level candidate within the current team, and provide them with deliberate developmental exposure.
Represent the Strategic Accounts segment in RingCentral's most senior internal forums — product roadmap reviews, pricing decisions, go-to-market strategy — as the voice of the company's most important customers.
Partner with the Chief Revenue Officer and VP-level Sales counterparts on the segment's commercial strategy: joint account planning, renewal strategy for the largest accounts, and expansion opportunity development.
Own the product feedback loop from Strategic Accounts to Product and Engineering — synthesizing field intelligence from the segment's most sophisticated, highest-stakes customers into prioritized, executive-level input that influences roadmap decisions.
Partner with the global SME practice (AVP, SME) to ensure Strategic Accounts have priority access to RingCentral's deepest technical expertise, and that SME engagement quality in Strategic Accounts reflects the service standard the segment demands.
Coordinate with UK/EMEA and AU/APAC RVPs on named global accounts — ensuring coverage is seamless, ownership is clear, and the customer experiences RingCentral as a single, coherent post-sales organization regardless of geography.
Own the Strategic Accounts AI adoption agenda — ensuring every account in the segment has a documented, executive-sponsored AI transformation roadmap tied to their stated business strategy, not just a feature activation checklist.
Engage personally with customer C-suite on RingCentral's Agentic AI and platform vision — positioning RingCentral as a strategic AI partner, not a communications vendor.
Partner with Product and Solutions Engineering to bring early-access AI capabilities to Strategic Accounts, and to use Strategic Account feedback to shape the AI roadmap.

Requirements

What you’ll need

12+ years in post-sales customer-facing leadership — TAM, CSM, Technical Account Executive, or post-sales VP — in a SaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, or enterprise technology company.
5+ years at a VP level or equivalent senior leadership role with direct accountability for a named or strategic accounts program and measurable NRR/GRR outcomes.
Demonstrated track record of building and maintaining C-suite and CXO-level relationships in enterprise accounts — not as a guest at meetings, but as a trusted peer with ongoing access.
Experience leading through Directors; second-line leadership with a proven ability to develop Director-level talent into more senior roles.
Deep familiarity with the post-sales economics of a high-ARR named accounts program: how to tier accounts, how to staff them, how to price the service, and how to measure its retention impact.
Proven ability to represent post-sales interests in senior commercial and product conversations — credible with Sales VPs, Product leaders, and Engineering executives.
Strong commercial judgment: reads a renewal forecast with precision, identifies systemic risk early, and develops segment-level recovery strategies that Sales leadership trusts.
Prior experience in UCaaS or CCaaS specifically — RingCentral, NICE CXone, Genesys, Five9, Zoom, or a comparable enterprise communications platform.
Experience building or scaling a named accounts / strategic accounts program from scratch — defining the selection criteria, the coverage model, and the service differentiation.
Background managing global named accounts — coordinating with regional post-sales leaders across EMEA and APAC on shared customers.
Familiarity with AI transformation conversations at the enterprise level — sufficient to represent RingCentral's AI roadmap credibly at a CXO briefing.
