Job description

Oxygen 8 Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a leading Life Sciences organisation to find an Account Manager to join their growing commercial team in London.

About the Role

Our client is looking for an Account Manager to own the client relationship from the moment a deal is won through to delivery and revenue recognition. You'll work directly with Sales, Sales Operations, Customer Success, and Finance to make sure every account you manage is commissioned, delivered, and recognised as revenue — with nothing left stranded post-sale.

This isn't a quota-carrying, net-new business sales role. Instead, you're managing existing client accounts post-close, and you're measured on revenue pull-through: making sure the deals sales closes turn into delivered services and recognised revenue, on schedule and without drop-off.It's a deliberately junior Account Manager position with a clear runway, built as a launchpad into inside sales, lead generation, or full new-business sales roles down the line, while giving you exposure across nearly every commercial function of the business.

What You'll Do

• Own a portfolio of client accounts post-close, working with Sales to review pipeline and flag key wins and revenue backlogs
• Act as the client's main point of contact after the deal is won — following up directly to scope and schedule programs for delivery
• Work with Sales Operations (Deal Desk) to track account wins through to revenue recognition
• Partner with Customer Success to hand over scope, lead internal kick-offs, and follow through on revenue recognition milestones
• Identify and elevate delivery disruptions (e.g. project delays) before they impact your accounts' revenue
• Report on account-level revenue recognition forecasts and pipeline health to stakeholders across the business

What You'll Bring

• Background in Life Sciences, either in the healthcare industry or at a healthcare-focused agency
• Solid understanding of the end-to-end sales process
• Experience in proposal development and delivery
• Familiarity with CRM and sales management tools (e.g. Salesforce)
• Strong client-facing and relationship management skills
• Comfort working across multiple functional teams and stakeholders
• A numbers-driven mindset with a knack for reporting and forecasting

What's On Offer

• Structured growth path: a clear route into Lead Generation (proactive sales outreach) or Inside Sales (triaging and coordinating incoming sales requests and RFPs)
• Cross-functional exposure: build relationships and visibility across Sales, Product, Customer Success, Sales Operations, and Finance — rare breadth for an early-career role
• Investment in you: structured product training, sales training, and client-facing skills development
