About BarbicanPower
BarbicanPower is an independent, Manchester-based electricity supplier serving business customers across Great Britain. We focus on clear contracts, dependable service, and sustainably priced power. We work closely with customers and advisers to deliver strong retention, clean renewals, and practical support throughout the contract term.
The role
Our key accounts require high-quality account management, structured renewals, and clear decision making on risk and pricing. This role protects long-term revenue, supports customer outcomes, and helps us scale in a controlled way.
You will own a portfolio of strategic accounts and be accountable for retention, margin discipline, and service delivery, working closely with internal teams across commercial, operations, and risk.
You will be the primary contact for a portfolio of high value business customers. You will manage renewals end to end, lead tender activity, and identify growth opportunities aligned to customer needs and our product capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and renew a portfolio of strategic accounts, including customers with complex requirements and multi-site portfolios.
- Run renewal and tender processes from enquiry through to contract signature, keeping stakeholders aligned and timelines controlled.
- Shape pricing and deal structures in line with customer objectives, governance, and risk appetite, working closely with internal pricing and risk stakeholders.
- Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities, including contract structure changes, renewable supply options, and service enhancements.
- Monitor account performance and proactively manage issues that could affect retention, service outcomes, or margin.
- Coordinate internal teams to ensure smooth delivery across onboarding, billing, and ongoing service, with clear escalation routes.
- Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline visibility for renewals, and disciplined forecasting.
- Stay current on market and policy changes that affect customer costs and contract strategy, and communicate those impacts clearly.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
