Jobs - Full-Time

Director of Accounts

If you are a passionate, solutions-driven leader with a few years of experience in a customer service or sales-related field, this may be the position for you!

As the main liaison between client and internal teams, account managers play a critical role in the Deksia process.

Deksia also has dedicated Sales and Project Management teams so account managers can focus on what matters most: client satisfaction.

Maintaining detailed knowledge of our products and offerings is also crucial for this position. This allows account managers to maintain healthy expectations within the scope of a project, as well as recognize opportunities for additional collaboration.

  • I review Deksia’s work before passing it on to clients.
  • I look for potential referrals or added services from existing clients.
  • I manage my clients’ expectations.
  • I oversee the financials and members of the Account Management department.
