VP, Strategic Accounts

Full-time

About Primerli

Primerli is a bootstrapped, early stage start-up that created the first and only engaging way to learn an industry in under an hour. We serve over 2 million professionals at global enterprises including MBB, Big Four, Google, and Microsoft. Get a feel for it yourself – check out our sample videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@primerli.

We are a small team with big ambitions. Many of us came from consulting backgrounds and joined Primerli because we wanted to move beyond advising to building. At a company of our size, you will take ownership of a large scope, shape key decisions, and help drive the direction of the business. If you’re looking to make a meaningful impact and grow alongside the company, this is the kind of role where that can happen.

Total Compensation: $250K-$400K

We are a team of consultants solving a familiar problem: how do you earn credibility with a client? We believe it starts with understanding the client’s industry.

Modern business has become the Tower of Babel: every industry has its own language. If you speak your client's language, you connect and find a way in. And if you don’t, you’re flying blind with a surface-level understanding. Companies spend millions on dull, slow, and unscalable solutions. The traditional go-tos – SMEs, in-house content, and live training – aren’t working.

We created a new way to learn an industry in under an hour (imagine the “I know kung fu” scene from The Matrix, but for business), using fun animated stories produced like a media product. Our primers are widely used by the world's top consulting and technology firms, with 90%+ completion rates, rave reviews, and hundreds of deals won and projects delivered.

As our enterprise client base grows, we are looking for a leader who can help clients maximize value from Primerli while bringing insights back to our team on how organizations build industry expertise.

The Role

This role owns retention and expansion strategies across a portfolio of key enterprise accounts. You will report to the CEO and work closely with Sales and Product.

You will build trusted relationships with senior leaders at some of the world’s most sophisticated organizations. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the strategic client conversations of consulting but wants to step off the project treadmill and help build a product that delivers tangible impact.
