Customer Success Partner – Public Sector
Location: Hybrid – 3 days a week in our Soho office, 2 days remote
Salary: £65,000–£75,000 depending on experience
Are you an experienced public sector professional with a strong understanding of digital delivery, client relationships, and commercial management?
We’re Olive Jar Digital, a growing digital consultancy based in the heart of London’s Soho. We design and deliver digital services that solve complex problems and improve outcomes for users, working with organisations across the public sector.
We’re looking for a Customer Success Partner to take ownership of key client relationships, helping us strengthen existing partnerships, identify new opportunities, and ensure we continue to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients.
This is more than a traditional account management role. We’re looking for someone who understands the realities of working within government and can confidently operate across client relationships, service delivery, commercial management, and stakeholder engagement.
The Role
As the Customer Success Partner, you’ll be a senior relationship owner for a portfolio of public sector clients. You’ll build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, understand client priorities, and work closely with our delivery and leadership teams to ensure we continue to provide the right solutions.
You’ll also play an important role in identifying opportunities to grow our accounts, supporting new business, and ensuring our client relationships develop for the long term.
What you'll be doing
- Client Leadership: Own and develop relationships with key public sector clients, acting as a trusted senior point of contact.
- Stakeholder Management: Build strong relationships across senior stakeholders, delivery teams, procurement, commercial, and technology functions.
- SOW Management: Lead and support the development, review, and negotiation of Statements of Work (SOWs), ensuring scope, deliverables, timelines, resources, and commercial terms are clearly defined.
- Contract Management: Own contract governance, renewals, extensions, variations, and commercial discussions, ensuring engagements remain aligned with contractual commitments.
- Commercial Management: Take ownership of budgets, forecasting, financial performance, and commercial relationships across your client portfolio.
- Account Growth: Identify opportunities to expand existing relationships, introduce new services, and support business development activity.
- Service Delivery: Work closely with delivery teams to ensure projects and services meet agreed outcomes, KPIs, SLAs, and contractual commitments.
- Strategic Account Planning: Understand client priorities and develop account plans that support long-term growth and partnership.
- Governance & Risk: Lead client reviews, manage escalations, and identify commercial, contractual, and delivery risks before they become issues.
- Internal Collaboration: Work closely with delivery, recruitment, commercial, and leadership teams to ensure we deliver a joined-up client experience.
