Position Overview

The Customer Commercial Manager acts as the customer-success-side sales rep for Independent, SMB, and edge-case Emerging accounts. The role owns and closes upsell opportunities directly for all Independent + SMB accounts that fall below the qualifying ARR threshold, applying inside sales discipline to open, qualify, and close deals rather than simply receiving pre-qualified handoffs. Opportunities that meet or exceed the ARR threshold, or that trigger a formal RFP, are escalated to the Sales/Account Executive team. Emerging-segment opportunities are only engaged when specifically directed by CS Leadership. Cross-sell, New Restaurant Opening, and new customer opportunities fall outside this role and are managed elsewhere.

The role also owns Fourth's EMEA P2P supplier account management - trading relationships, onboarding, and revenue opportunities across the supplier base - consolidating commercial ownership of both customer-side opportunities and supplier-side trading relationships in a single function.

Primary Responsibilities

Opportunity Management & Deal Closing

Own and close all Independent account opportunities directly, regardless of value, as Fourth's Customer Adoption commercial rep

Own and close SMB opportunities that fall below the qualifying ARR threshold (~10% of current software ARR, per the FY26 EMEA Rules of Engagement) or that haven't triggered a formal RFP; escalate SMB opportunities that meet or exceed the threshold, or trigger an RFP, to the Sales/Account Executive team

Engage with Emerging-segment opportunities only when specifically directed by CS Leadership, applying the same threshold-based escalation logic; cross-sell, New Restaurant Opening, new customer, read-only portal, eClock-only, and standalone Managed Services opportunities sit outside this role's scope throughout

Stay on the opportunity team when escalating a deal to Sales, in line with Fourth's Salesforce tracking practice, to retain appropriate credit and visibility on key milestones

Conduct solution discovery and tailored demonstrations where needed, articulating clear value propositions to secure customer commitment

Maintain accurate, up-to-date opportunity data in Salesforce - correct Opp.Type classification, stage, close date, activities, and notes - and meet or exceed assigned revenue and quota targets

Supplier Account Management - EMEA P2P Vendors

Work with suppliers to generate qualified opportunities for new supplier trading relationships, advising on Fourth's P2P integration methods and trading agreement options

Manage existing Enterprise supplier trading agreements to prevent attrition, planning and attending regular meetings with managed accounts

Support Marketing and Sales by identifying supplier trends and buying-power opportunities across the customer base

Implement and maintain tangible measures of supplier satisfaction, gathering feedback and improving processes where needed

Pipeline & Forecasting Discipline

Maintain Salesforce as the single source of truth for opportunity activity, SOWs, and time-tracking compliance

Provide accurate, timely sales forecasts and pipeline updates to Customer Adoption and Commercial leadership

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with Independent, SMB, and Emerging CSMs on opportunity identification and qualification, and with CS Leadership on scope for Emerging edge cases

Align with Sales leadership on consistent application of Rules of Engagement thresholds when escalating qualifying opportunities

Work with Technical Consulting to hand off closed supplier opportunities for onboarding and contracting

Collaborate with CS leadership and Sales on complex commercial situations and pricing exceptions

Key Skills and Competencies

Proven inside sales or commercial account management experience, ideally within SaaS or technology

Comfortable owning the full deal lifecycle for a high-volume Independent and SMB portfolio - from qualification through to close - rather than cold outbound prospecting

Confident closer - able to run discovery, present value propositions, and negotiate commercial terms

Strong Salesforce discipline - accurate opportunity, forecast, and pipeline management

Commercially minded, with an aptitude for identifying revenue opportunities within existing accounts and supplier relationships

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Experience and/or Qualifications

Experience managing supplier, vendor, or partner trading relationships, ideally involving EDI or P2P integrations

Background in hospitality, workforce management, or HCM technology

Experience carrying a quota or commission-based target in a customer success or account management adjacent role

Familiarity with structured deal qualification frameworks between CS and Sales (e.g. ARR-threshold or RFP-based Rules of Engagement)
