Description
We’re looking for an experienced and commercially minded Account Manager to join our Sales & Marketing team and take ownership of a high-volume portfolio of business customers.
This is a key role focused on two things: building strong, long-lasting customer relationships and driving retention and growth across your account base.
- Managing a portfolio of approximately 1,000 accounts, you’ll use customer insight, segmentation and CRM data to make sure you’re focusing your time where it will have the greatest impact.
- You’ll proactively identify customers who may be a churn risk, plan ahead for renewals and uncover opportunities where additional Elevate services could genuinely support a customer’s business and IT objectives.
You’ll be comfortable balancing the day-to-day needs of a busy account base with more commercially focused conversations around renewals, cross-sell and upsell opportunities. You’ll also work closely with colleagues across New Business and Service Delivery to ensure customers receive a great experience from the point they join Elevate and throughout their relationship with us.
This is a hybrid role, and you’ll need to be within commutable distance of our Manchester HQ.
What you'll be doing
- Manage and develop a high-volume portfolio of business customers, building strong and lasting relationships.
- Proactively manage customer retention and renewals, identifying and addressing potential churn risks.
- Understand customers' business and IT needs and identify appropriate opportunities to introduce additional Elevate services.
- Deliver against agreed NRR, MRR and retention targets through effective account management, upselling and cross-selling.
- Use Salesforce and customer data to prioritise activity, manage opportunities and maintain accurate forecasts.
- Develop account plans for key customers, identifying needs, risks and opportunities for growth.
- Work closely with New Business and Service Delivery to provide a seamless customer experience.
