WeTravel is Hiring a Remote Account Manager Small Business in South Africa

Hi! 👋 I’m Keri, based in Mexico, and I lead the Account Management and Enablement teams at WeTravel. I’m growing a team focused on delivering exceptional service, solving real problems, and creating long-term value for our customers around the world.

If you’re passionate about helping businesses thrive, excited by the challenges of working in a fast-paced SaaS environment, and love the idea of contributing to a product that supports travel entrepreneurs—then we’d love to meet you.

As an Account Manager, you’ll be a key part of that mission: helping our amazing community of travel organizers get the most out of WeTravel while feeling truly supported every step of the way. If you’re curious, proactive, and genuinely enjoy seeing others succeed, I’d love to hear from you.

How We Work

Our Account Management team sits at the heart of the customer journey. As an Account Manager, you’ll work closely with clients—ensuring they’re fully supported, informed, and maximizing the value of our platform. You’ll collaborate with Sales, Customer Support, and even Product to share customer feedback and shape the future of our offering.

Our clients range from solo operators to growing travel companies, so adaptability and communication are key. A big part of your day-to-day will include answering questions, resolving issues, and identifying opportunities to upsell and cross-sell additional features. If you love building trust and solving problems, this is a great fit.

Role Summary

We are looking for a Small Business Account Manager to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll manage a high-volume portfolio of small business customers using a digital-scaled, one-to-many engagement model. Your main focus will be activating new and existing accounts through proactive outreach (including a high volume of cold calls), driving adoption of key features, and identifying growth opportunities. You’ll work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Sales to amplify the voice of the customer and ensure an exceptional client experience at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own the post-sale relationship for a portfolio of 2,000+ small business accounts using a one-to-many model.
