About Strava
Strava is the app for active people. With over 195 million athletes in more than 185 countries, it’s more than tracking workouts—it’s where people make progress together, from new habits to new personal bests. No matter your sport or how you track it, Strava’s got you covered. Find your crew, crush your goals, and make every effort count. Start your journey with Strava today.
Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.
Strava for Business partners with the world's leading brands and agencies to reach and inspire active communities. Our sponsorship solutions - built around Strava's challenge platform, segments, and athlete data - offer something traditional advertising can't: genuine motivation, real-world participation, and measurable outcomes. We're growing fast, and APAC is a key part of that story.
We’re looking for an Account Manager to add to our global team in Australia. This is a role for someone who has moved past execution and into genuine ownership. You know how to build the kind of partner relationships where renewal is a natural outcome, not a negotiation and you know how to use campaign performance to make the case for what comes next.
We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to some of your time on-site in Sydney, Australia.
What You’ll Do:
Commercial Ownership
Own a defined portfolio of brand and agency partners, with clear retention and growth targets
Lead renewal processes end-to-end: positioning, pricing, timing, and stakeholder alignment
Identify and drive expansion opportunities within existing accounts, partnering with the Client Partner on upsell motions
Contribute to renewal pricing discussions and understand how deal structure affects account economics
Delivery and execution
Manage campaign delivery across multiple internal teams and external stakeholders, ensuring what was sold is what gets delivered
Identify delivery risks early and escalate with the right context before they become renewal risks
Adapt global SfB playbooks to the APAC market and flag where regional nuances require a different approach
Insight and measurement
Design campaign measurement frameworks in partnership with the data team, tailored to strategic partners
Analyse challenge performance - joins, completions, audience quality - to optimise outcomes and build the renewal case while sharpening the strategy for future investment
Deliver accurate forecasts across your full book of business and proactively address pipeline gaps before they affect revenue
Storytelling and influence
Own and lead QBRs for your accounts, building performance narratives that connect campaign results to brand business objectives
Build compelling renewal pitches for brand and agency audiences
Navigate client objections and difficult conversations with confidence, holding the commercial position while maintaining trust
Relationships & Team
Build multi-threaded relationships across client organisations — not just the day-to-day buyer, but marketing leads, procurement, and planning teams
Be seen as a credible, knowledgeable partner rather than a vendor
Provide informal coaching and mentorship to junior team members
Share regional insights that help the broader SfB team grow smarter.
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
Proven experience in B2B advertising sales account management, with a track record of owning commercial relationships end-to-end
Demonstrated success hitting retention and growth targets across a defined book of business
Experience leading renewals and upsell conversations, not just supporting them
Ability to turn campaign data into strategic recommendations — not just performance summaries
Strong multi-stakeholder management: comfortable navigating brand, agency, procurement, and planning contacts simultaneously
Confidence in difficult commercial conversations, with the judgment to know when to hold firm and when to escalate
Comfortable operating with autonomy in a small regional team with limited in-person support
Genuine interest in the active lifestyle space and an understanding of how brand partnerships work in that context
