The lines between Account Management and Customer Success are getting harder to ignore.
In this episode of Breakthrough SaaS Growth, Jason Noble and Jason Whitehead are joined by Alex Raymond, founder of AMplify and host of the Account Management Secrets podcast, to explore whether these two functions are converging or creating more confusion.
As SaaS companies put more pressure on retention, expansion and customer growth, leaders need to be clearer about ownership, accountability and how customer-facing teams work together.
We cover:
- How Account Management and Customer Success are changing
- Why the lines between the two roles are blurring
- Where role confusion damages customer relationships
- How both functions should align around retention and expansion
- What organisational design needs to get right
- How customer-facing teams can drive growth without duplicating effort
This is a practical conversation for SaaS CEOs, CROs, CCOs, Account Management leaders and Customer Success leaders thinking about the future of customer growth, retention and expansion.

Expect candid conversations, practical playbooks, and board-level perspectives on topics like AI (beyond the hype), data quality & trust, in-product guidance, value realization, renewals, expansion, and customer experience. You’ll hear from founders, investors, product and revenue leaders who’ve built real results - not just slideware.
