Being a Strategic Account Manager, EMEA Law at iManage Means…
As a Strategic Account Manager, EMEA Law, you are the primary commercial relationship owner for a portfolio of the EMEA's most sophisticated Large Law firms who have placed their trust in iManage as their strategic knowledge and document management platform. You are the steward of long-term, high-value client relationships, protecting and growing net revenue retention (NRR), guiding firms through their post-cloud digital transformation journey, and positioning iManage as an indispensable partner to firm leadership, IT, and Knowledge Management.
In this role, you also act as a strategic partner and trusted advisor, bringing thought leadership across legal innovation, transformation, and the evolving role of AI within law firms. You will proactively engage senior stakeholders to shape forward-looking strategies, challenge traditional approaches, and identify opportunities to embed intelligent, technology-enabled ways of working that drive competitive advantage.
You will operate at the intersection of consultative account management, client success, and commercial growth.
In this role, you will work closely with our Professional services, Customer Success, and Partner Ecosystem to ensure every client is maximising the value of their investment, from go-live through the roadmap adoption and beyond.
iM Responsible For…
  • Owning the commercial health of a portfolio of EMEA Large Law firms, with primary accountability for NRR protection and growth
  • Leading annual and multi-year renewal cycles end-to-end — from early engagement and commercial positioning through negotiation and close
  • Developing and maintaining deep, multi-threaded relationships across Managing Partners, CIOs, Heads of IT, Knowledge Management leaders, and procurement stakeholders
  • Identifying and qualifying expansion opportunities — cross-sell and upsell — within the existing account base through value-led, consultative engagement
  • Maintaining a rigorous account business planning discipline, including documented success plans, commercial risk registers, and stakeholder maps for each firm
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to clients navigating their post-cloud digital transformation including thought leadership on wider Legal Tech and the impact of AI
  • Coordinating proactive client education through structured programmes including lunch-and-learn sessions, go-live transition support, and product roadmap briefings
  • Owning the end-to-end QBR process for your portfolio — preparing, facilitating, and following through on commitments to continuously demonstrate and deepen client value
  • Partnering with Customer Success, Professional Services (iManage and Partners) to manage complex go-live milestones and ensure seamless adoption across large, multi-office environments
  • Running client roadshows and workshops to drive platform awareness, surface adoption gaps, and build internal champions across the firm
  • Working closely with iManage's partner ecosystem — including implementation and managed services partners such as Morae and Harbour — to deliver coordinated client outcomes and accelerate adoption of new products and services
  • Collaborating with the Channels & Alliances team to align partner-led motions with account strategy and ensure clients receive consistent, high-quality support
  • Maintaining accurate pipeline and renewal forecasting in CRM, with a clean, current view of all account-level risks and opportunities
  • Navigating enterprise commercial frameworks including multi-year agreements, usage-based pricing conversations, and procurement and legal review processes
  • Achieving and exceeding annual NRR and growth targets across the portfolio
  • Representing iManage at key industry conferences, firm-hosted events, and partner-led roundtables to strengthen market presence and deepen client relationships

iM Qualified Because I Have…
  • 8+ years of experience in strategic account management, customer success, or consultative sales within enterprise SaaS or legal technology
  • Deep experience managing renewals, expansions, and commercial negotiations with large EMEA law firms
  • A demonstrated track record of protecting and growing NRR across complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise accounts
  • A consultative, relationship-first approach — equally comfortable in a boardroom with Managing Partners and in a whiteboard session with IT, Innovation,  Knowledge Management leaders
  • Experience guiding enterprise clients through technology adoption journeys, cloud migrations, or digital transformation programmes
  • Proven ability to run structured client success programmes including QBRs, go-live transitions, roadmap engagements, and adoption workshops
  • Familiarity with partner-led delivery models and the ability to coordinate across internal teams and external partners to deliver client outcomes
  • Strong commercial acumen — you understand the levers that drive retention and expansion, and you build account plans accordingly
  • Excellent communication and executive presence — you present with confidence to senior audiences and adapt your style across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • CRM discipline and forecasting accuracy — you keep a clean book and you flag risk early

Bonus Points If I Have…
  • Experience selling legal technology, document management, governance, or knowledge platforms
  • Experience working with large law firms through partner-led sales motions
  • Familiarity with enterprise sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Value-Based Selling)
  • Experience navigating GDPR, regional compliance, and security scrutiny
  • Experience managing cross-border or multi-office firm opportunities
