Objective

Scale Neurons Lab's delivery organization into a predictable engine for client value and expansion revenue โ€” leading a team of Senior ADMs, owning client relationships at the executive level, and positioning Neurons Lab as a premier AI partner for enterprise clients.

KPI

  • Expansion revenue โ‰ฅ 50% of total revenue

  • PoC-to-Production conversion rate > 30%

  • Business Impact Score (BIS) > 40% across active portfolio

  • Client satisfaction (CSAT) consistently maintained and improved

Key Responsibilities

1) Account Management

  • Own the Account Development Plan (ADP) system across the portfolio.

Coach ADMs to maintain a living ADP per Tier 1 / Tier 2 account: stakeholder map, Business Value / Personal Value / Trust Value per key stakeholder, expansion pipeline, next-best actions.

  • Set the bar for relationship depth.

Coach ADMs to move from execution-focused to relationship-focused delivery: regular committed BD time, multi-threaded relationships, proactive value creation outside paid scope.

  • Be the senior presence at critical moments

โ€” executive meetings, escalations, renewals, pricing negotiations, and stakeholder conflicts. Personally hold 1โ€“3 C-suite relationships per Tier 1 account.

  • Own client portfolio health as a system, not a feeling.

DRI for: Expansion Revenue %, PoC-to-Production conversion, BIS, CSI, Referral Rate.

  • Make trust the moat.

Hold the team accountable to Reliability, Alignment, and Integrity. Use these as the standard for how Neurons Lab shows up at every touchpoint.

  • Turn client trust into business outcomes.

Target 2+ qualified expansion opportunities per account per quarter.

  • Bring the client voice into company decisions.

2) Delivery

  • Drive value creation for the Delivery department.

  • Empower the team to resolve 90% of project issues independently.

  • Serve as the top escalation point for unresolved Significant and Catastrophic risks.

  • Oversee timelines, budgets, risks, and financials across the project portfolio.

  • Develop and execute Delivery department strategy.

  • Establish and monitor key department metrics โ€” OKRs, Health Indicators, margins, revenue deviation.

  • Facilitate and provide value-add to stakeholder relationships and communications.

  • Establish and refine delivery practices tailored for AI R&D projects.

  • Manage relationships with Delivery Partners and oversee the joint delivery project portfolio.

3) People

  • Manage talent capacity and project staffing needs.

  • Own ADM compensation and commission design tied to expansion revenue and portfolio health.

  • Recruit, hire, train, grow, and let go.

  • Conduct regular 1:1s with direct reports.

  • Conduct performance reviews.

Capabilities

  • Delivery Leadership โ€” experience running and scaling multi-team delivery organizations.

  • Account Management โ€” multi-threaded executive relationships, expansion playbook, revenue ownership.

  • Customer Success โ€” portfolio-level health management, value realization, escalation, renewals.

  • Stakeholder Management โ€” navigates complex enterprise environments at board and C-suite level.

  • Executive Communication โ€” credible in front of CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, COOs; decks as strategic artifacts.

  • People Management โ€” proven ability to recruit, develop, and let go; builds high-performing teams.

  • AI/ML Awareness โ€” conversant with engineering and data science teams; must hold their own technically.

  • Change Management โ€” understands how to drive adoption of AI products inside enterprise clients.

  • Commercial Negotiation โ€” comfortable with fee negotiation; protects margin without losing the relationship.

Experience

  • Senior delivery or account leadership (7+ years) โ€” customer success, engagement management, or consulting at a leadership level.

  • Team management (3+ years) โ€” built or led delivery teams; track record of developing talent.

  • Business development โ€” proven expansion revenue track record through delivery quality and consultative selling.

  • Regulated industry experience โ€” direct enterprise client work in FSI, healthcare, pharma, energy, or government.

  • Advanced English โ€” exceptional written and verbal; comfortable leading executive conversations.

Nice to have

  • AI consulting or systems integrator background.

  • Change management certification (Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter).

  • Experience managing partner or subcontractor delivery relationships.

  • Exposure to consultative-selling methodologies (Activator / Challenger / Trusted Advisor models).

What We Offer

  • Fully remote โ€” outcomes over attendance.

  • Unlimited PTO.

  • Full-time contractor engagement with a fast-growing AI consultancy at the forefront of enterprise transformation.
