About Us

At Showbie, we’re building tools that help teachers transform their classrooms through faster, more engaging, and more impactful feedback and assessment. Our apps, Showbie and Socrative, are used by millions of teachers and students in classrooms around the world.

We’re proudly based in Edmonton, Canada, with a growing global team across Canada and Europe, including the United Kingdom and Norway.

The Role

Showbie is looking for an Account Manager to manage and grow a portfolio of existing customer accounts across schools, districts, and trusts. This role focuses on building strong relationships with key stakeholders, supporting customer retention, and identifying opportunities to expand the use of Showbie's products and services.

Working closely with Learning Specialists, CX, and reseller partners, you will help customers achieve their goals by ensuring they are getting maximum value from their Showbie investment. Through regular customer meetings, account reviews, and day-to-day engagement, you will build a deep understanding of customer priorities, challenges, and strategic objectives. Using value-based discovery and thoughtful questioning, you will uncover opportunities, challenge assumptions where appropriate, and guide conversations beyond product usage towards broader educational and organisational outcomes. By connecting customer goals to Showbie's solutions, you will strengthen stakeholder relationships, support long-term customer success, and identify opportunities for growth.

You will be responsible for managing renewal conversations, identifying and driving upsell and cross-sell opportunities, and maintaining accurate account plans, forecasts, and customer records within Salesforce. As a trusted partner to your customers, you will develop an understanding of their educational objectives and work collaboratively with internal teams to deliver value for customers.

We're looking for an ambitious early-career professional with 1–4 years of experience in a customer-facing commercial role—such as an SDR, BDR, or early-stage Account Manager—who is eager to take the next step in their career and develop into a strategic account management role.

• Lead account reviews and strategic customer conversations focused on customer goals, outcomes, adoption, and long-term value.


• Act as a trusted advisor to customers, helping them align their educational goals with Showbie's solutions.


• Contribute to the continuous improvement of account management processes, playbooks, and best practices.
