Job summary

Simply Solved is seeking a senior client relationship leader to own a UAE-based B2B portfolio across law firms, clinics, real estate, IT, F&B, and more. You will coordinate across accounting, tax, back office, and payroll to ensure timely delivery and a single, trusted advisor experience.

You will act as the primary escalation point, monitor account health, and retain clients by proactively proposing relevant services (e.g., QFZP advisory, tax health checks).

Qualifications

• 3–5 years UAE experience in account management, client services or customer success within a B2B professional-services environment (accounting, tax, audit, legal or similar).
• Proven ownership of multiple concurrent B2B accounts today.
• Comfortable being the client's escalation point, not just the messenger.
• Strong written follow-up discipline — commitments tracked and closed out in writing.
• Working knowledge of UAE corporate tax/VAT concepts (including QFZP status).
• Prior exposure to free-zone, professional-services, or HNWI-adjacent client bases.

Responsibilities

• Own client relationships end-to-end and coordinate delivery across accounting, tax, back office and payroll.
• Run regular account reviews and flag risks before clients raise them.
• Coordinate across internal teams to keep delivery on schedule and track scope.
• Escalate issues, coordinate resolutions, and close the loop with clients in writing.
• Monitor account health and spot churn risks; introduce additional services when relevant.

Job description

About the Role

Single point of contact for a B2B client portfolio spanning law firms, clinics, consultancies, real estate, IT firms, F&B, foreign branches and startups — plus specialist HNWI, QFZP and tax-health-check engagements. You own the relationship end-to-end: coordinating delivery across accounting, tax, back office and payroll, and stepping in the moment something needs to move faster.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Client relationship & consultative ownership

Serve as the named contact for a portfolio spanning multiple industries — from a law firm or clinic to a restaurant group, real estate brokerage or a foreign company's UAE branch, plus specialist engagements (QFZP advisory, tax health checks, HNWI structures)

Understand each client's tax and compliance position well enough to explain it in plain terms — without doing the technical work yourself

Run regular account reviews and proactively flag risk (an upcoming filing deadline, a VAT refund at risk, a substance gap) before the client raises it

Represent Simply Solved's "talk to us about everything" proposition — the client should feel they have one advisor, not different departments

Service coordination & delivery oversight

Coordinate across accounting, tax, back office and payroll teams, to keep delivery on schedule

Track internal time bookings against client engagements and flag scope or capacity issues early

Maintain a documented, auditable trail of client commitments and status

Quality, escalation & retention

Own first-line escalation for service issues, coordinate resolution with the relevant technical team, and close the loop with the client in writing

Monitor account health — not just "no complaints" — and flag early signs of dissatisfaction or churn risk

Spot natural moments to introduce additional services relevant to where the client is (e.g. a QFZP client approaching its next health check)

What We Need

Must-have

3–5 years UAE experience in account management, client services or customer success within a B2B professional-services environment (accounting, tax, audit, legal or similar)

Proven ownership of multiple concurrent B2B accounts today

Comfortable being the client's escalation point, not just the messenger

Strong written follow-up discipline — commitments tracked and closed out in writing

Nice-to-have

Working knowledge of UAE corporate tax/VAT concepts (including QFZP status) — enough for a credible client conversation, not to do the technical work

Comfortable adapting across very different client types in one day — a law firm partner, a restaurant owner and a foreign HQ exec need a different conversation each

Prior exposure to free-zone, professional-services, or HNWI-adjacent client bases

How We'll Know It's Working

Client satisfaction (CSAT) and retention rate across the assigned portfolio

Response time to client requests — acknowledgment within 24 hours as standard

Escalations resolved without recurrence

On-time delivery against agreed service commitments

Who Thrives Here

Someone who wants real ownership of client relationships inside a fast-scaling professional-services business — not someone looking for a purely administrative coordination role. Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Business, Finance or a related field expected.
