Job description

We're representing an FCSA & SafeRec accredited umbrella company, looking to hire a Key Account Director to take ownership of some of their most important client relationships.

This isn't cold-start business development. You'll be handed a portfolio of major professional services accounts (public sector, IT, large PLCs) with immediate revenue opportunities - meaning commission from day one.

What's on offer:

• £40-55k base salary + transparent commission
• Existing portfolio of high-volume key accounts
• Comprehensive onboarding & ongoing training
• Laptop, mobile phone & all the tools you need
• Chance to join a market-leading, accredited provider with real growth plans

What we're looking for:

• Experience in the umbrella payroll sector (or close transferable experience)
• Proven track record in managing & growing key accounts
• Strong commercial awareness & ability to discuss revenue/volume confidently
• Based in the South - remote if on the South Coast, otherwise regular presence in North London
• Self-starter, professional, no-drama operator

If you're ambitious, commercially sharp, and ready to take on high-value clients, this is your opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the market
