My client has developed an outstanding base of valued customers and is looking for an experienced Strategic Account Manager to ensure those relationships continue to receive exceptional service.
This is much more than a traditional Account Manager position.
You'll become the person customers know they can rely on — ensuring questions are answered, commitments are followed through and nothing disappears into a "black hole."
You'll work alongside the Head of Service Delivery, IT Network engineers, business development and leadership teams to maintain, protect and grow existing customer relationships.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and develop relationships across an established customer portfolio.
- Become a trusted point of contact for customers.
- Ensure customer requests, questions and commitments are followed through.
- Proactively communicate progress even when a final answer isn't yet available.
- Coordinate internal technical and service-delivery resources.
- Understand customer requirements and changing business priorities.
- Manage contract renewals, variations and commercial conversations.
- Support proposals, contracts and other customer documentation.
- Identify opportunities to expand Feenix's services within existing customers.
- Work alongside technical specialists to identify additional customer solutions.
- Protect customer satisfaction and retention.
- Maintain disciplined account plans and follow-up processes.
- At least five years' relevant account management experience.
- A high-level technical understanding of IT networks and associated services
- Experience managing important corporate/enterprise level customers.
- Exceptional follow-through and attention to detail.
- Strong organisational and planning capability.
- Commercial and negotiation skills.
- Confidence dealing with different personalities and stakeholders.
- The ability to remain structured while working under pressure.
- A proactive approach to customer service.
- Technology or telecommunications experience would be a significant advantage.
Farmer AND Hunter While protecting existing relationships is fundamental, this isn't purely a maintenance role.
You'll be expected to understand your customers well enough to recognise opportunities.
The successful person therefore needs to be predominantly a farmer, but with enough hunter instinct to identify and develop additional business within their accounts.
