Toptal is a global network of top talent in business, design, and technology that enables companies to scale their teams, on-demand. With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe , Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.

We take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.

Our Account Managers grow and retain Toptal’s small- and medium-sized business clients. You will own a book of high-value SMB accounts, become a trusted advisor to each client, and proactively expand each relationship across Toptal’s full portfolio, including specialized talent, global hiring and payroll through HireGlobal, and our AI-driven, platform-powered, outcome-focused services offerings.

You will look beyond the transactional request to understand the business problem behind it, identify needs the client has not yet voiced, and build account plans that turn one successful engagement into a broader partnership. You will be the primary point of contact for your accounts, guide clients through active projects, resolve issues before they stall decisions or put the relationship at risk, and know when to bring in specialists for deeper expertise. Our ideal candidate is ambitious, competitive, driven by client service, and pairs that drive with genuine curiosity about how businesses work. This is a remote position. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.

Own the Portfolio: You are the dedicated advisor and primary point of contact for a portfolio of SMB accounts, accountable for their retention, growth, and success. You exercise discretion and independent judgment in how you prioritize and grow each account.

Discovery and Diagnosis: You run insight-driven conversations with clients to understand the business objective behind each request, assess account health, and uncover challenges Toptal can solve. Account Planning: You build and execute proactive account plans that connect each client’s business goals to the right Toptal offering, with clear next steps, timing, and expansion targets.

You expand accounts across Toptal’s full portfolio, including specialized talent, HireGlobal for global hiring and payroll, and our AI-driven, platform-powered services offerings, positioning Toptal as a strategic partner rather than a single-transaction talent vendor.

Qualify, Manage, and Win Expansion: You own expansion from identification through qualification, proposal, negotiation, and close across departments, projects, and offerings.



You maintain accurate pipeline and forecast data in Salesforce (SFDC).

Uncover Value Early: You monitor demand signals and platform data to offer “uncovered value,” identifying needs before the client voices them, and you use outreach and engagement campaigns, including Salesloft cadences, to educate clients on Toptal’s full breadth of services.

Own the Client Experience: You own the client relationship and the client’s experience of every engagement, from kickoff onward. You stay close to active work, address concerns with a client-first mindset, and partner with Talent Operations and Delivery, who execute the work, to keep engagements on track so that retention is earned through results.

You partner with Talent Operations, Delivery, HireGlobal, and services experts to bring the right expertise into an account at the right moment. Meet colleagues across Customer, Talent Operations, Delivery, and HireGlobal to begin your onboarding journey.
