About Alaan
- Alaan is the Middle East’s first AI powered spend management platform, built to help businesses save time and money.
- Founded in 2022, Alaan is already the trusted partner of over 2000 leading businesses across the UAE and KSA.
- Alaan is backed by Y Combinator and top global investors, including Peak XV.
About The Role
- The Mid Market CSM owns the relationship and the commercial outcome for a portfolio of growing companies.
- Accounts arrive already activated, handed over from Implementation with a validated baseline.
What You'll Do
- Take ownership of each account at handover from Implementation team, building a clear adoption and growth plan from a validated starting point
- Drive deep product adoption across spend categories, cards, users, and accounting integration, embedding Alaan into how the customer operates day to day
- Grow wallet share by discovering new spend categories and shifting more of the customer's total spend onto the platform
- Build trusted relationships across finance and operations, staying close to how each customer's business is evolving
- Run a regular business review cadence that frames Alaan's impact in the customer's commercial terms and keeps the relationship anchored to value
- Own the value realisation story for each account: quantify the impact delivered and use it to anchor renewals and unlock expansion
- Cross sell across Alaan's product suite, identifying where additional products solve real customer problems and building the commercial case to bring them in
- Identify and pursue expansion across new departments, categories, and use cases, with the commercial judgement to know when an account is ready
- Own retention and renewals end to end, carrying a net revenue retention target, identifying risk early, and leading the commercial conversation yourself
- Identify accounts ready to graduate to Enterprise as their spend and complexity grow, and manage that transition cleanly
- Act as the voice of the customer inside Alaan, turning account insight into structured feedback that shapes the product roadmap
What We Are Looking For
- 4+ years in customer success, account management, or a comparable role owning customer relationships and a commercial number
- Proven track record growing and retaining a portfolio of accounts, with evidence of expansion or upsell driven through your own efforts
- A relationship builder: you earn trust with finance and operations stakeholders and use it to understand the business and grow the account
- Commercial ownership, with a track record against retention, expansion, or revenue targets
- Strong discovery instincts: you spot where a customer's spend is not yet on the platform and build the case to bring it across
- Extreme ownership: you treat your accounts as your own business, take full responsibility for outcomes, and never wait for someone else to solve a problem that affects your customer
- A bias for problem solving: when something is broken, blocked, or undefined, you find a way through rather than escalating and waiting
- Comfortable speaking the language of finance teams and accounting tools without needing to be an engineer
- Fintech, SaaS, or payments background preferred
- UAE market experience strongly preferred, including an understanding of how Mid Market companies in the Gulf manage their spend
What's In It For You
- Contribute to building the Middle East’s most beloved fintech brand from the ground up
- Benefit from a role with significant ownership and accountability
- Thrive in a flexible hybrid culture with ample work life balance
- Participate in exciting offsite events
- Competitive salary and equity
- Enjoy additional perks like travel allowances, gym memberships, and more
