Summary

The Key Account Manager owns a portfolio of high-value accounts, serving as a strategic partner to customers in fraud, payments, and compliance. This role involves driving customer value, managing cross-functional teams to solve complex technical and regulatory challenges, and fostering long-term partnerships.

Job description

Who we are: Sardine is the leading agentic risk platform for fighting financial crime. Our integrated solution unifies data across risk teams to help organizations stop fraud in real time, prevent AI-driven attacks, and automate fraud and AML operations. Sardine’s platform is strengthened by one of the fastest-growing fraud consortiums in the market, spanning more than 6 billion profiled devices, 800 million consumers, and 3 million businesses worldwide. Leading companies including FIS, GoDaddy, Intuit, Edward Jones, ZoomInfo, and Checkout.com rely on Sardine to secure and grow trust in their products.

Our culture:

  • We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation.
  • We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, friends get-together, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.
  • We're a remote-first team spread across time zones, so no office to report to - work from wherever helps you do your best work. Just a couple of things to keep in mind: pay is based on where you're located, and you'll need to keep a home base in the country you're hired in. So while we love the "coffee shop today, mountains tomorrow" life, this isn't a passport-optional, work-from-anywhere-on-Earth kind of remote - think flexible within your country, not borderless.

Location:

  • Remote - Toronto, Ontario, Canada

About the Role: Sardine is rapidly acquiring new customers and executing on an ambitious roadmap. As a result, we're building a world-class customer success team to support our fraud, payments, and compliance-related products as we grow.

  • Translate complex product and technology problems into simple and actionable solutions. Be able to manage the solution process both internally and externally.

  • Build, monitor, and communicate KPIs to clients.
  • Provide strategic analysis and critical thinking as we plan long-term expansion.
  • Work with Sardine's risk analytics teams to proactively solve new fraud typologies and actively communicate findings to customers.

What you’ll need:

  • 7+ years of experience in Account Management, Customer Success, Risk Management, or Solutions Architecture within B2B SaaS, with an understanding of how customers integrate API's
  • Domain experience in fraud, compliance, fintech, AML/KYC, or payments is highly preferred
  • Strong presentation skills for both virtual and in-person meetings with various stakeholders
  • Previous customer-facing experience, preferably with a technical product
  • Exceptional project management skills and the ability to synthesize all inputs and balance the needs of multiple stakeholders
  • Proficiency in using business intelligence tools
  • Your analytical skills are second to none; you excel at number crunching and drawing insights
  • You're capable of translating complex strategies into actionable processes and outcomes
  • You're a natural at building relationships and collaborating with others
