Local and regional government is at a critical point of change, with transformation high on the agenda across the sector. As Senior Account Manager, you’ll work at the heart of this transformation — owning major client accounts, leading growth strategies, and partnering with senior stakeholders to deliver long‑term value for clients, citizens and communities.

This role offers high visibility, commercial accountability and a clear pathway to senior leadership.
We’re committed to building a diverse and representative leadership population and particularly welcome applications from women and people from Black, Asian and other ethnic minority backgrounds.
What you’ll be doing
Lead the strategic growth, retention and development of significant client accounts, delivering against revenue, margin and renewal targets
Own and execute account growth plans, shaping win strategies for re‑tenders, renewals and in‑contract growth
Act as a visible senior partner to client leaders, influencing strategy and shaping long‑term value creation
Identify, qualify and progress high‑value growth opportunities aligned to client transformation agendas
Lead cross‑functional teams to co‑create solutions, proposals and commercial models
Ensure seamless transition from bid to in‑life delivery, protecting client outcomes and experience
Apply rigorous account disciplines, including pipeline management, forecasting accuracy and Salesforce adoption
Provide senior oversight of delivery performance and lead issue escalation and resolution where required
Role‑model best‑practice account management, contributing to capability uplift across the account community
What we’re looking for
Proven experience leading strategic account management in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments
Strong commercial mindset with a track record of account growth, retention and successful re‑tenders
Credibility operating at senior client level, influencing outcomes and building trusted relationships
Deep understanding of account planning, pipeline governance and forecasting disciplines
Data‑literate and insight‑driven, using Salesforce and performance analytics to inform decisions
Highly collaborative, able to orchestrate outcomes across Growth, Propositions and Delivery
Leadership capability — role‑modelling excellence and raising standards across the sales engine
