This is a full-time, remote position with an employment contract located in either Budapest, Hungary or the United Kingdom (meaning the recipient will have to have residence in the respective countries).
About the Job
The account director is a dynamic position focused on creating a WOW experience for our global customers ensuring account growth and retention.

The position sits in our EMEA team managing global accounts: clients with global operations requiring Randstad Risesmart services globally or regionally. The nature of these global services require that Risesmart services be implemented in several locations across the region or the globe, under a global contract in place impacting more than one country for Risesmart operations.
The EMEA global accounts management team operates mainly when a global contract is in place and is also asked to support global sales in the pre-contract sales process, mostly to demonstrate our global account management capabilities in pitch situations.

- Expand size and scope of services delivered to the global customer, either within the existing contract or adding additional geographies and lines of business
- Ensure customers (in partnership with Sales) are current on all Risesmart products
- Solicit customer input on current products, services & tools, collect customer insights on customer needs and wants, provide feedback to the Product team
- Consistently use creative thinking for potential improvements for programs, processes, resources/tools, etc.
- Schedule and manage business review process (inviting Sales or other subject matter experts when relevant) with all customers
- Partner with Risesmart billing teams in the country where the global contract sits to ensure accuracy of invoicing and support collection of past due A/R
