About Syllo

Syllo is defining the Litigation AI category. We are the first unified platform designed to autonomously manage the entire litigation lifecycle end-to-end. Founded in 2019 by a team of litigators and engineers, Syllo enables legal teams to securely harness the power of AI across any matter, regardless of complexity or scale. Our technology supports Fortune 500 companies and AmLaw 200 firms managing their most complex litigation portfolios. Awarded ILTA Transformative Project of the Year and ALM eDiscovery Technology of the Year for 2026, we are the market leader in enterprise-grade litigation AI. Backed by top-tier VCs, we are at a clear inflection point — the team has doubled in the last six months and growth is accelerating.

 

About the role

Own the expansion motion and protect the revenue base that funds our growth.

 

This role leads Syllo's account management function — responsible for net revenue retention, expansion ARR, and the health of relationships with our most strategic customers. You will build and lead the AM team, establish the playbooks for expansion selling and executive relationship management, and own the number that measures whether our customers stay and grow.

Syllo's growth equation depends on compounding expansion ACV as much as new logo acquisition. The Managing Director of Account Management is the owner of that equation — accountable for identifying expansion opportunities, building champions, navigating renewal risk, and ensuring that every customer is positioned to grow into the full platform.

We are looking for a leader who treats account management as a revenue discipline, not a service function. Someone who has built expansion playbooks, hired and developed AM talent, and held a team accountable to a net revenue retention number with the same rigor as a sales target.

 

What you will do

  • Own net revenue retention and expansion ARR: Set the target, build the forecast, and deliver the number. Expansion is a sales motion — run it like one.
  • Build and lead the AM team: Hire and develop Account Managers with the commercial instincts and legal domain knowledge to operate at AmLaw 200 and Fortune 500 accounts.
  • Define the expansion playbook: Establish the framework for identifying expansion signals, advancing champion relationships, navigating multi-stakeholder renewals, and closing upsell.
  • Manage strategic accounts directly: Maintain executive relationships at the most complex accounts. Sponsor critical renewal and expansion conversations.
  • Partner with CS and Sales: Align with Customer Success on health signals and adoption data, and with Sales on cross-sell motion into new practice groups or business units.
  • Surface market intelligence: Your accounts are Syllo's closest signal on product gaps, competitive exposure, and category evolution. Bring that intelligence to the leadership team.

 

What you bring

  • Expansion revenue ownership: You have owned a net revenue retention or expansion ARR target — not managed accounts as a support function. You know the difference.
  • Account management leadership: You have built and managed AM teams with clear quota structures, pipeline discipline, and coaching cadences.
  • Executive relationship depth: You build relationships with General Counsel, CLO, and litigation leadership — not just operational contacts — and you sustain them through contract cycles.
  • Renewal risk management: You identify at-risk accounts early, diagnose the root cause, and build a recovery plan before the conversation becomes a negotiation.
  • Legal domain fluency: You understand how law firms and in-house legal departments evaluate, renew, and expand technology relationships — the internal politics, the budget cycle, and the procurement process.
  • Commercial rigor: You apply the same qualification and inspection discipline to expansion opportunities that a strong AE applies to new logo deals.

 

Experience and qualifications

  • 8+ years of enterprise SaaS account management or customer success experience, including 3+ years in a leadership role.
  • Demonstrated ownership of net revenue retention or expansion ARR targets at a high-growth B2B SaaS company.
  • Track record of building expansion playbooks and managing AM teams with commercial accountability.
  • Experience managing enterprise accounts at law firms or Fortune 500 legal departments is a strong advantage.
  • Bachelor's degree required. MBA is a plus.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
