Strategic Account Manager

Location: Calgary, Alberta | Remote

Build More Than Revenue. Build Expertise.

Most software companies hire Account Executives and expect them to learn a complex product while simultaneously building pipeline, carrying a quota, and closing business.

At DriveHRIS, we've chosen a different approach.

We believe exceptional commercial professionals aren't defined by how quickly they can memorize a product. They're defined by how deeply they understand their customers, the industries they serve, and the business challenges they're solving.

That's why we've created the Strategic Account Manager role.

This is a commercial development role designed for ambitious sales professionals who want to master a sophisticated SaaS platform, develop genuine industry expertise, and help shape the future of a growing North American software company.

You'll begin building customer relationships, developing your own pipeline, participating in discovery conversations and product demonstrations, and contributing to new business opportunities from day one all while working alongside experienced leaders who will help you become an expert in the platform before you're expected to carry a full sales quota.

About DriveHRIS

DriveHRIS is a Canadian software company helping dealerships modernize workforce operations.

Our platform connects recruitment, onboarding, HR management, learning, compliance, health and safety, inspections, communication, performance management, and workforce intelligence into one dealership-focused solution.

Today, hundreds of dealerships across North America trust DriveHRIS to improve operational consistency, strengthen compliance, and support better leadership across their organizations.

As we continue to scale, we're investing in people who want to build long-term careers, not simply fill sales positions.

What You'll Do

As a Strategic Account Manager, you'll combine customer engagement, commercial development,



and strategic relationship management while developing expertise in one of the industry's most comprehensive workforce operations platforms.

Your responsibilities will include

- Building trusted relationships with dealership leaders.

As your expertise grows, so will your opportunity to progressively take ownership of larger portfolios and more complex sales engagements.

You'll be successful if you:
- Enjoy solving complex business problems.
