Client Director (Strategic Accounts)

Complexio is the intelligence layer for enterprise AI. Our platform builds a connected understanding of how businesses actually operate — across people, processes, and systems. Enterprises have invested heavily in AI platforms, copilots, and data infrastructure — yet daily work still runs on manual hand-offs and thousands of unseen tasks buried in emails, chats, and spreadsheets. Complexio closes that automation gap.

Our Event Knowledge Graph ingests structured and unstructured data to create a living map of how an organisation truly works — every task, interaction, and dependency. Our Context Broker unifies this knowledge across enterprise systems in real time, enabling our Orchestration layer and Enterprise Automator to discover, design, and execute workflows autonomously. Stevie, our conversational AI assistant, gives teams a natural way to query and act on that intelligence. Complexio deploys securely within your infrastructure and integrates with the enterprise platforms you already run on — turning organisational knowledge into measurable business outcomes.

A joint venture between Hafnia and Símbolo, backed by leading maritime partners including Marfin Management, C Transport Maritime, Trans Sea Transport, and BW Epic Kosan. Born in maritime, now scaling rapidly across industries. We are now onboarding enterprise customers globally, with a platform built to handle the pace and complexity of real business operations.

Role Purpose

The Client Director (Strategic Accounts) is responsible for Complexio's most important enterprise relationships. You are the single commercial owner of a portfolio of strategic accounts — accountable for deep value realisation, retention, expansion, and long-term partnership growth. This is not a passive relationship management role. When required, you operate as a fully independent commercial operator — prospecting, qualifying, running the full sales cycle, and closing without support. You can own an account end to end: from first conversation through to signed contract, onboarding, health management, and multi-year expansion. You do not need a separate Sales resource to function.

You will shadow both Co‑CEOs in strategic commercial meetings as required — stepping in as the senior commercial relationship owner in high‑stakes customer engagements and representing Complexio at C‑suite level with full authority and credibility. This requires genuine executive presence: the ability to lead a room, navigate complex stakeholder dynamics, and hold your own alongside or in place of senior leadership. You will report directly to the CRO and will be a key voice in shaping Complexio's customer success and account management frameworks as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities

• Executive & C‑Suite Engagement
  • Shadow both Co‑CEOs in strategic commercial meetings as required — serving as the senior commercial relationship owner in high‑stakes customer engagements.
  • Engage independently with C‑suite stakeholders — CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CIOs — as a credible, authoritative representative of Complexio at the highest level of customer relationship.
  • Prepare Co‑CEOs and the CRO for customer meetings — providing account briefings, stakeholder maps, open issues, and recommended positions ahead of engagements.
  • Lead executive relationship threads within accounts, ensuring C‑suite contacts are continuously engaged, informed, and anchored to Complexio's long‑term value narrative.
  • Represent Complexio's commercial vision, platform direction, and partnership ambition in boardroom and executive settings with confidence and composure.
• Independent Selling & End‑to‑End Account Ownership
  • Run the full commercial cycle independently when required — from prospecting and qualification through discovery, solution design, commercial negotiation, and close.
  • Own accounts end to end without reliance on a dedicated Sales resource — managing every stage of the customer lifecycle from initial engagement through onboarding, adoption, health management, renewal, and expansion.
  • Identify and develop new opportunities within your account portfolio as well as adjacent prospects — acting as both hunter and farmer as the situation demands.
  • Build and manage your own pipeline within assigned accounts and territories, maintaining accurate forecasting and CRM discipline without being prompted.
  • Construct and present commercial proposals, business cases, and pricing independently — tailoring the commercial narrative to each stakeholder and buying committee.
  • Navigate complex procurement, legal, and contracting processes to close — including multi‑party negotiations, MSA redlines, and DPA reviews — without requiring escalation for every decision.
  • Act as the primary commercial owner of an assigned portfolio of Complexio's strategic enterprise accounts.
  • Build and maintain trusted, multi‑threaded relationships with C‑suite, operational leadership, and day‑to‑day users across client organisations.
  • Develop and maintain long‑term account plans — including relationship maps, value roadmaps, and growth targets.
  • Ensure ongoing alignment between customer priorities, operational context, and Complexio's evolving platform capabilities.
• Customer Relationship Management
  • Serve as the central point of coordination for all customer interactions across the account.
  • Maintain a structured engagement cadence with key stakeholders — from daily users through to executive sponsors.
  • Lead Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and Executive Business Reviews (EBRs), with a clear focus on documented value delivered.
  • Ensure every customer touchpoint reflects the quality and credibility of the Complexio brand.
• Value Realisation & Platform Adoption
  • Drive successful adoption of Complexio's core platform capabilities across the account, including:
  • Event Knowledge Graph (EKG) — the real‑time operational intelligence backbone.
  • Stevie — conversational AI interface for operational queries and decision support.
  • Context Broker — connecting and enriching data across enterprise systems.
  • Enterprise Automator — automating workflows triggered by operational events.
• Define and track value realisation metrics specific to each customer's operational context (e.g. fixture performance, crew efficiency, voyage profitability, claims reduction).
• Identify adoption risks early and mobilise internal teams to resolve blockers before they become churn signals.
• Produce customer‑facing impact reports that document ROI and support renewal and expansion conversations.

Requirements

Essential

• 7+ years managing strategic enterprise accounts in B2B SaaS or enterprise software.
• Demonstrable ability to sell independently — owning the full cycle from prospecting to close without requiring a dedicated Sales resource.
• Proven track record of running accounts end to end: origination, onboarding, adoption, health management, renewal, and expansion.
• Demonstrable executive presence — able to represent Complexio independently at C‑suite level, including alongside or in place of Co‑CEO leadership in strategic commercial settings.
• Experience managing complex, multi‑stakeholder relationships at C‑suite level in large organisations.
• Commercial acumen — able to construct and close business cases, negotiate contracts, and manage procurement processes independently.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; credible in both operational and boardroom settings and able to adapt fluently between audiences.
• Sufficient technical fluency to navigate enterprise IT organisations, hold credible conversations with technical stakeholders, and answer first‑order questions about platform architecture, data integration, and security without always escalating to Engineering.
• Highly organised, with the discipline to manage multiple high‑complexity accounts simultaneously.

Desirable

• Experience in the maritime, shipping, energy, or industrial sectors — particularly understanding operational data flows and decision‑making in these environments.
• Background in AI, data platforms, knowledge graphs, or operational intelligence solutions.
• Experience managing enterprise accounts with ACV $500k–$5M+.
• Exposure to implementation or delivery coordination in complex technical deployments.

Who You Are

• A hunter and a farmer in equal measure — you can open a cold account, close a complex deal, and then manage that relationship for years; you don't need to hand off at any stage.
• A relationship builder who earns genuine trust with senior executives — not through charm alone but through consistent delivery and commercial rigour.
• Genuinely executive in your presence — composed, credible, and authoritative in a boardroom; able to step into a Co‑CEO‑level meeting with short notice and add value immediately.
• Technically curious — you don't need to be an engineer, but you're comfortable in a room with one and you take time to genuinely understand how the platform works and why that matters to your customers.
• Proactive and commercially motivated — you don't wait for pipeline to be handed to you or for renewal conversations to be initiated; you build and manage both.
• Highly organised and calm under pressure — you can manage multiple complex accounts without losing detail.
• Energised by fast‑moving, scale‑up environments where you can shape how things are done, not just follow a playbook.

What We Offer

• A senior individual contributor role with genuine strategic influence over Complexio's most important customer relationships.
• Competitive base salary with a meaningful performance‑related component tied to retention and expansion outcomes.
• Equity participation aligned to Complexio's growth trajectory.
• Direct access to the CRO and Co‑CEO leadership team — decisions move fast here.
• The opportunity to shape Complexio's account management and customer success frameworks as the company scales.
• A collaborative, high‑trust team culture where your work is visible and your impact is real.
