Client Management Director

Transforming the Future of Enterprise Planning

At o9, our mission is to be the Most Value-Creating Platform for enterprises by transforming decision-making through our AI-first approach. By integrating siloed planning capabilities and capturing millions-even billions-in value leakage, we help businesses plan smarter and faster.

This not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces waste, leading to better outcomes for both businesses and the planet. Global leaders like Google, PepsiCo, Walmart, T-Mobile, AB InBev, and Starbucks trust o9 to optimize their supply chains.

You will manage a portfolio of strategic accounts, working closely with client supply chain, IT, and executive leadership to translate o9 capabilities into tangible business outcomes. You will ensure client satisfaction at all stages of the o9 relationship, from initial o9 solution delivery through ongoing strategic growth, while meeting financial and performance targets for the portfolio.
