Account Plan vs Job Description Writer

Two business operations skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

Account Plan

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Build a strategic plan to grow and protect your most important customer accounts.

Job Description Writer

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Write clear, inclusive job postings that attract the right candidates and reduce hiring bias.

What each one does

Account Plan

  • Creates a relationship map showing who you know, who influences decisions, and where you have gaps
  • Identifies expansion opportunities with estimated value and next steps
  • Flags renewal risks and assigns mitigation actions to specific owners
  • Builds a 90-day action plan with concrete tasks and deadlines
  • Sets measurable success criteria for the planning period

Job Description Writer

  • Structures a complete job posting with role overview, responsibilities, requirements, and benefits
  • Reviews language for bias and suggests inclusive alternatives to terms like 'rockstar' or 'ninja'
  • Flags requirements that may screen out underrepresented groups (like years-of-experience rules)
  • Separates must-haves from nice-to-haves so you don't over-filter candidates
  • Reminds you to include salary range (which increases applicants by 30%)
