Account Manager (Sales)

We are looking for a highly analytical and execution-oriented Account Manager to drive and scale our partner ecosystem, new account acquisition, lead intelligence, intent-driven demand programs, and pipeline analytics. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, AI-driven environment and wants to directly influence revenue outcomes—not just activity metrics.

VIDIZMO is a U.S.-based technology company headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, and a Microsoft Solutions Partner across Data & AI, Infrastructure, and Digital & App Innovation. Through our AI-powered Intelligence Hub, we help Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and public sector organizations securely manage, analyze, and govern complex data with full control and compliance.

Our Multimodal AI Data Intelligence Platform uses Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enable advanced capabilities such as automated tagging, redaction, summarization, OCR, translation, subtitle generation, object detection and tracking, intelligent search, sentiment and emotion analysis, topic extraction, document classification, and facial recognition.

Role Overview

The Account Manager (AM) is responsible  for pursuing new customer accounts, managing partner accounts and channel relationships, retaining and expanding existing customers, and driving revenue growth within assigned territories and portfolios. This is a full-cycle, hybrid hunter–farmer role with a strong partner/channel dimension. The PAM owns the relationship from initial pursuit through long-term expansion, acting as a trusted advisor to commercial, enterprise, government, and partner stakeholders using VIDIZMO solutions. The role balances new account acquisition, partner account management, renewals, and account expansion, with a strong focus on customer value, adoption, and long-term partnerships.

AI Output Verification & Accountability (Required Competency)

The candidate must be capable of effectively using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) to support work outputs such as content, analysis, documentation, or code. However, the candidate must also demonstrate strong judgment and ownership of the final deliverables. AI-generated output must never be treated as final without review. The candidate is expected to validate accuracy, completeness, logic, compliance, and alignment with business requirements, and refine AI-assisted work to meet the expected quality standards. The individual will be held accountable for the final output, regardless of whether AI tools were used during execution.
