Backblaze is the object storage leader in the open cloud movement, fueling customer success with cloud storage built purposefully to unlock budgets, unburden administrators, and unleash innovators. Together with our partners, we’re helping customers break free from the restrictive, overpriced legacy solutions that hold them back, and blaze forward with the full power of the open cloud in their hands.
Founded in 2007, we scaled the business with less than $3 million in outside funding until 2021, when we did a traditional IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Today, Backblaze generates over $100m in revenue and is the leading specialized storage cloud - managing over three billion gigabytes of data storage for 500K+ customers in 175+ countries, including businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals.
But while there is a lot to celebrate in our past, there is almost as much opportunity ahead of us. We are seeking a Sr. Account Manager, Strategic Accounts!
We're looking for a Sr. Account Manager, Strategic Accounts to be the connective tissue inside our most strategic, multi-million dollar accounts. This is a three-part role: part relationship manager, part CSM, part AE — and you need to be genuinely good at all three.
Our executives will be in the room for the big moments. Your job is everything in between. You'll make sure the account works operationally — integrations are humming, issues get resolved before they escalate, the right people are talking to each other. And while you're doing that, you'll be listening closely for the next problem to solve, the next workload to win, the next expansion hiding inside the account.
The catch: our customers are infrastructure people. They think in terms of object storage, S3-compatible APIs, egress architectures, GPU-dense compute environments, and petabyte-scale data pipelines. They will know immediately if you're winging it — and they'll respect you immediately if you're not. You don't need a PhD. But you kind of need to think like someone who considered one.
