About the role
We’re looking for a consultative and action-oriented Account Manager to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll manage a portfolio of Mid-Market employer customers, serving as a trusted advisor on the Thatch platform, ICHRA benefits strategy, and annual renewal/open enrollment.
You’ll build strong relationships with executive sponsors, HR leaders, benefits consultants, and day-to-day administrators to understand their goals, deliver measurable value, and ensure a successful benefits experience for both employers and their employees. Through proactive account planning, Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), and ongoing enablement, you’ll help customers maximize the value of Thatch while driving retention and long-term customer health.
As a member of our growing Account Management team, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the customer lifecycle at Thatch. You’ll work cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Operations, and Implementation to advocate for customer feedback, design optimal working models, and build new processes as we scale.

- Partner cross-functionally with Implementation, Product, Operations, and Sales to manage escalations, advocate for customer needs, and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
- Contribute to the development of scalable account management processes, playbooks, tooling, customer education programs, and best practices as Thatch continues to grow.
