Account Manager - Public Sector
Kent (Hybrid – 1-2 days in regional office)
£38-48k Base + ~£40k OTE + Car / Allowance
Certus Recruitment Group is partnering with a well-established technology business with a strong footprint across SMB and Public Sector.
This is an account management role — not pure new business. Think “hunt within the farm”. You’ll inherit a live customer base and be responsible for growing it.
The Role
You’ll manage ~100 existing accounts across the Public Sector (councils, schools, local organisations).
Your job is simple: find opportunities, open doors internally, and grow revenue.
- Manage and develop an existing account base
- Re-engage dormant and under-penetrated customers
- Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities across a broad tech portfolio
- Book meetings and open opportunities within accounts
- Bring in specialists to support solution sales and close
- Retain ownership of the account and revenue relationships
- Build pipeline and maintain clear account plans
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This isn’t a large, complex procurement. It’s department-level sales, steady deal flow, and consistent growth.
