Account Performance Manager

Alma is hiring!

About

At Alma, we are convinced that trade must be well balanced to be sustainable. Because finance has a key role in business, our mission is to put it back in its rightful place : at the service of merchants and consumers!

That’s why we create financial products that empower merchants to sell more, and help consumers purchase better products while never encouraging them to get over-indebted.

Our tech solutions are accessible to all, easy to implement, and that eliminate purchase friction.

For merchants, our instalment and deferred payment solutions are excellent ways of increasing customers' loyalty and satisfaction, as well as generating up to 20% extra sales revenues without any risk.

For consumers, the purchase experience is enhanced (4.8/5 on Trustpilot) and Alma helps them handle their budget easily. They pay later, Alma pays the merchants right away.

We are the leader in France, on track to win the European market on the (very) powerful Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) industry, as we’re now processing payments in 10 European countries. Over the past 5 years, more than 16,000 active merchants have chosen Alma to be their innovative BNPL solution, and we have served over 5 million consumers.

The team has grown from 2 to 300+ people, we raised a €115M series C early 2022 to help us accelerate further and Alma is already part of the French Tech 120 ranking of the most promising French technology companies. And that's only the beginning.

Job Description

About the job

Alma originally started out by serving Small and Medium Businesses (<1M€ turnover) and today 80% of our merchants still come from this segment. It is a strategic segment for Alma (and the small clients of today are also the big clients of tomorrow), thus, we need to maximise the volumes to make it a key performance driver in the long run.

The Account Performance Management team (3 people today) has a key mission to drive the growth and ensure the retention of a pool of SMB merchants. Thanks to prioritisation criteria, our Account Performance Management team will contact specific merchants to close upsell opportunities or manage negotiations to avoid churn.

On a daily basis, the Account Performance Manager (APM) will jump on calls with merchants (& write emails), optimise processes and highly collaborate with other teams (e.g. Product, Finance, Risk & Support) to constantly improve our solution and delight a long tail of merchants.
