POSITION SUMMARY
The Associate Account Manager (AAM) provides operational and data-focused support to the account teams of assigned clients and coalitions. The AAM manages reporting requests, submits and monitors operational cases and service tickets, supports client-access requests, researches account-specific issues, and manages work received through assigned shared mailboxes. The AAM works across multiple systems, tools, and data sources to complete operational deliverables, identify service trends, support issue resolution, and respond to evolving account-team and business needs.

The AAM provides direct client support when appropriate but primarily supports account teams through operational execution, reporting, research, systems navigation, and issue resolution. To function effectively in this model, the AAM must collaborate with the Account Manager, Account Executive, Clinical Account Executive, and internal operational partners to successfully service the entire book of business. The primary measures of the AAM’s performance are operational execution, accuracy, follow-through, and account-team and client satisfaction.

·       Comfortable working with ambiguity, changing priorities, and complex or unexpected challenges while remaining organized and solution-focused.

·       Ability to collaborate cross-functionally, coordinate deliverables across multiple stakeholders, and proactively communicate or escalate risks and barriers.

·       Curious and committed to continuous development, with the willingness to expand skills, learn new areas of the business, and take on increasingly complex or unfamiliar responsibilities.
