Account Manager (China)

At JetBrains, we create intelligent tools that help developers work smarter. For more than 25 years, our products—IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, TeamCity, AI-powered tools, and many others—have been shaping the global software ecosystem. Millions of developers and thousands of companies worldwide rely on JetBrains to build, ship, and scale their software.

We are looking for a proactive and relationship-oriented Account Manager to support our B2B customers in China that do not have dedicated Key Account Manager coverage. These accounts range from fast-growing startups to large enterprises, representing substantial potential for expansion, cross-sell, and long-term partnerships.
