    Job Description

    We’re looking for someone who’s part relationship whisperer, part strategic thinker, and part business driver. You’ll be the face of Ama La Vida to our corporate partners: building trust with executives, identifying where we can add value, and turning great relationships into long-term partnerships.

    This is not your average account management role. It’s a chance to be a true partner—someone our clients rely on for strategic advice, not just deliverables. You’ll help them see what’s possible, show them how coaching can change lives and cultures, and drive meaningful growth for them and us.

    You’ll Love This Role If You...

    • Can build trust with just about anyone—especially C-suite executives

    • Have that rare combo of charm and credibility— people just get you

    • See problems as opportunities and can quickly spot how we fit in

    • Know how to land and expand —you’re not afraid to go from warm-and-fuzzy to let’s-do-this-deal

    • Have experience working in people-centered functions like HR, coaching, L&D, org development - and you know what makes them tick

    • Have a strategic mind and a scrappy, get-it-done spirit

    • Want to own your work —not be micromanaged or told what to do

    • Are detail-oriented and organized , even when things move fast

    What You’ll Do

    • Be the trusted advisor and go-to partner for our amazing corporate clients

    • Build strong, genuine relationships that lead to long-term partnerships

    • Identify new opportunities for us to support our clients—then make it happen

    • Build new relationships to expand our footprint

    • Partner with internal teams (like coaching, operations, and marketing) to deliver magic

    • Own the full client journey—from kickoff through expansion

    • Help shape and refine our corporate strategy as we grow

    • Be accountable for both the relationship and the revenue

  • Qualifications

    Qualifications

    • 7+ years of experience in client-facing roles (consulting, account management, business development, etc.)

    • Experience in or deep understanding of the people-centered functions (this is key!)

    • Proven ability to build and grow client relationships

    • Sales mindset with the strategy chops to back it up

    • Confidence working with executives and senior leaders

    • Exceptional communication skills and a natural ability to connect

    • Hunger to learn, grow, and take the lead
