Role: STRATEGIC ACCOUNT MANAGER
Overview
A Strategic Account Manager owns large regional or national restaurant chains, typically 20+ outlets across multiple cities, often with sophisticated operations teams.

Key Responsibilities
-
Own enterprise accounts: Manage 20-30 multi-city chains, each with 20+ outlets generating annual revenue in crores. These accounts are the profit center of the city
-
Executive partnership: Your primary contacts are executives (franchisors, regional VPs, founders). You are a trusted advisor shaping their Swiggy strategy

Cross-functional leadership: Coordinate with Swiggy central team, operations, and finance teams to deliver custom solutions, integrations, or special programs for accounts
-
Strategic planning: Develop 6 to 12-month growth plans with accounts. Identify expansion opportunities across new cuisines, formats, and locations. Position Swiggy as core to their growth

Strategic travel: Travel to account locations and regional hubs 1-2 times per quarter. Occasionally present at franchisee conferences or advisory boards
-
Executive presence: Your interactions with restaurant executives and internal Swiggy leadership reflect Swiggy's brand. You are a professional partner, not a transactional salesperson
