Lead Account Manager

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Role Overview</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This person manages their own book AND actively elevates the team around them. They do not wait for direction in either dimension. On the account side: proactive supply growth, data-driven prioritization, and commercial thinking from day one. On the team side: leading KPI reviews, being the go-to resource for ideas, coaching AMs through problems. The AI angle is genuine — we want someone who is already exploring these tools, has opinions about what they can do, and is excited to bring that curiosity to the team.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>In this role, you will:</strong></span></p> <p><strong style="font-size: 10pt;">1. Account management — existing seller base</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Own and grow a defined book of existing US seller accounts — supply health, GMV growth, and relationship quality</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Proactively identify supply gaps on accounts and arrive at the Director with a plan — not a flag</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Assess each account's full potential: what do they have that we need, and what makes GOAT their preferred listing platform</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Present regular, data-driven business reviews to accounts — commercially compelling, not just informational</span></li> </ul> <p><strong style="font-size: 10pt;">2. Team lead responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Act as the go-to resource for the regional AM team: share ideas, market intelligence, and help teammates move from insight to action</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lead weekly KPI reviews for your account set autonomously — pull the numbers, draw your own conclusions, and bring a formulated plan to the Director</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Contribute actively to team-level reviews: bring original thinking on what is working, what is not, and where the team should focus</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Coach AMs through 1:1s — help them develop commercial instincts, sharpen their data usage, and hold their accounts to supply outcomes</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lead execution of seller initiatives and team projects from proposal through to measurement</span></li> </ul> <h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>3. Market intelligence</strong></span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Continuously monitor market dynamics — what is selling on other platforms, which brands and categories are gaining momentum, where GOAT has supply gaps relative to demand / other platforms </span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Translate market signals into commercial action: if something is trending externally, your accounts and the team should be moving on it, not reading about it after the fact</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Feed regional intelligence into the Director and the strategy team on a consistent cadence</span></li> </ul> <h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>4. AI and automation</strong></span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Actively use AI tools in day-to-day work: outreach, account performance summaries, market research, workflow automation</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Bring genuine curiosity — explore new tools, test what works, and share what you find with the team</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Be a practical reference point for AI usage across the AM team: not the only person using these tools, but someone who sets the tone for how the team thinks about them</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Identify repetitive workflows that could be automated and bring those ideas to the Director</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>We are looking for: </strong><strong><br></strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Player-coach: </strong>manages their own accounts at a high level while actively supporting the team around them.

Forms conclusions and arrives with a recommendation, not a data dump</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Team developer: </strong>elevates the people around them. Shares what they're seeing, helps others think through problems, and is energized by the team's performance — not just their own book</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">5+ years in account management — wholesale, brand, or retail; luxury and resale apparel strongly preferred</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">People management or team lead experience</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Demonstrated AI tool usage — active and exploratory, not theoretical</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Confidentiality and discretion is a must</span></li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>What success looks like in 30 / 60 / 90 days</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>30 Days</strong></span></li> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Full account list reviewed, prioritized, and first seller conversations started.
