A bit about your role

As an Account Director, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening and growing nbn's strategic customer relationships, creating meaningful partnerships that deliver long-term value for both our customers and the organisation. You will develop and execute strategic account plans and engagement strategies, identifying opportunities for mutual success and building a strong pipeline of growth opportunities across nbn's product portfolio.

In this role, you will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to align customer needs with nbn's product value propositions, ensuring a collaborative and customer-centric approach to delivering outcomes. You will champion customer insights and account priorities across the business, influencing strategic decision-making and fostering strong cross-functional partnerships that enable exceptional account experiences and sustainable growth.

You are a collaborative and influential leader who thrives on bringing people together to achieve a common purpose. With highly developed communication, negotiation, and stakeholder engagement skills, you build credibility at executive levels and foster strong networks both internally and externally.
