Regional Account Manager
PFI Education Portfolio | Hampshire & South Coast Region | Mitie
If you understand the world of PFI contracts and enjoy building strong client relationships, leading people, and driving performance across multiple sites, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We're looking for an experienced Regional Account Manager to join Mitie and take responsibility for a portfolio of predominantly PFI education contracts across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Basingstoke and the surrounding region. The role offers the chance to lead established contracts while bringing fresh energy, commercial focus and a customer-first approach to a portfolio that is entering an exciting phase of development.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional account management role.
You'll be responsible for a diverse portfolio of long-term PFI contracts, working closely with SPVs, Local Authorities, schools, operational teams and specialist service providers to ensure exceptional service delivery, contractual compliance and strong commercial performance. Many of the contracts have several years remaining, providing the opportunity to make a lasting impact while helping to shape contract performance and client relationships for the future.
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.
You'll lead a team of Contract Managers, oversee multiple P&Ls and act as the senior point of escalation for clients and operational teams. You'll also support key lifecycle programmes and help navigate the unique challenges that come with managing complex PFI environments.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading a regional PFI education portfolio across multiple sites.
- Managing contract performance, KPIs, SLAs and commercial outcomes.
- Building trusted relationships with SPV partners, Local Authorities and senior client stakeholders.
- Coaching and developing Contract Managers to deliver consistently high standards.
- Driving continuous improvement initiatives and identifying opportunities to add value.
- Managing subcontractors and internal service delivery teams across multiple disciplines.
- Supporting lifecycle planning and contract handback activities where required.
- Ensuring compliance, health & safety and contractual obligations are consistently met.

- Experience managing multiple sites, contracts and budgets.
- A broad understanding of integrated FM services.
- Knowledge of compliance, fire safety and hard services challenges within complex estates.
