Account Manager – Legal & Compliance Technology

Account Manager – Legal & Compliance Technology

We are looking for a legally trained, analytically sharp, and execution-oriented Account Manager to drive new business and manage strategic accounts within VIDIZMO's legal, compliance, and government customer segments. This role is ideal for someone who understands how legal and regulatory frameworks operate in practice, can stress-test technology claims against real-world legal scenarios, and thrives in a fast-paced, AI-driven environment where they can directly influence revenue outcomes—not just activity metrics.

About VIDIZMO

VIDIZMO is a U.S.-based technology company headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, and a Microsoft Solutions Partner across Data & AI, Infrastructure, and Digital & App Innovation. Through our AI-powered Intelligence Hub, we help Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and public sector organizations securely manage, analyze, and govern complex data with full control and compliance.

Our Multimodal AI Data Intelligence Platform uses Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enable advanced capabilities such as automated tagging, redaction, summarization, OCR, translation, subtitle generation, object detection and tracking, intelligent search, sentiment and emotion analysis, topic extraction, document classification, and facial recognition.

Role Overview

The Account Manager – Legal & Compliance Technology is responsible for pursuing new customer accounts, managing and retaining existing customers, and driving revenue growth within legal, compliance, government, and public safety segments. This is a full-cycle, hybrid hunter–farmer role. The AM owns the customer relationship from initial pursuit through long-term expansion, acting as a trusted legal-technology advisor to commercial, enterprise, and government customers using VIDIZMO solutions. A defining responsibility of this role is the ability to test and validate VIDIZMO's legal and compliance claims against real customer scenarios—including chain of custody integrity, evidentiary standards, FOIA response workflows, redaction requirements, and regulatory audit readiness. The AM must be capable of walking legal, compliance, and government stakeholders through how VIDIZMO solves their specific legal obligations, not just their technical needs.

AI Output Verification & Accountability (Required Competency)

The candidate must be capable of effectively using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) to support work outputs such as content, analysis, documentation, or legal scenario mapping. However, the candidate must also demonstrate strong judgment and ownership of final deliverables. AI-generated output must never be treated as final without review. The candidate is expected to validate accuracy, completeness, logic, compliance, and alignment with legal and business requirements, and refine AI-assisted work to meet expected quality standards. The individual will be held accountable for the final output, regardless of whether AI tools were used during execution.
