Role Profile

As a Key Account Manager for Maritime Data SaaS solutions, you will be responsible for managing and expanding relationships with key global clients across the finance, shipping, logistics, insurance, and energy sectors.

You’ll act as a trusted partner to senior decision-makers, ensuring they maximise value from the company’s maritime intelligence and data solutions — spanning AIS tracking, fleet analytics, risk assessment, and environmental performance insights.

Your role will combine strategic account management, solution consulting, and commercial growth through renewals, upsells, cross-sells and multi-region expansions.

This is a hybrid role based in our modern, centrally located London office, with a wide variety of services and transport links situated nearby.

Key Responsibilities

• Account Ownership & Relationship Management
• Oversee a specified portfolio of enterprise accounts within a particular sector.
• Build deep, multi-level relationships with customer stakeholders (C-suite, data & analytics leads, operations, risk, and compliance).
• Serve as the primary commercial contact for all client matters — renewals, upsells, cross-sells and escalations.
• Ensure high customer satisfaction, usage, and adoption across regions and teams.
• Strategic Growth & Commercial Success
• Develop and execute multi-year account plans aligned with customer business goals and sustainability targets.
• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities in data and online subscriptions, APIs, and analytics tools.
• Lead renewals and pricing discussions with procurement and executive teams.
• Achieve or exceed revenue, retention, and expansion targets.
• Consultative Selling & Value Realisation
• Translate maritime data insights into measurable business outcomes for clients (e.g., risk mitigation, business development, compliance).
• Conduct value reviews and quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with clients.
• Collaborate with Product and Data Science teams to align product development with customer feedback.
• Reporting & Forecasting
• Maintain accurate forecasts and renewal/expansion pipelines in CRM (e.g., Salesforce).
• Monitor account health metrics, usage analytics, and satisfaction scores.
• Report on revenue performance, risk indicators, and strategic opportunities.
• Industry Engagement
• Represent the company at key maritime events, conferences, and forums (e.g., Posidonia, Nor-Shipping, SMM, Sea Asia).

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in SaaS account management or enterprise sales, ideally with global clients.
• 3+ years in the maritime or logistics data sector strongly preferred.
• Proven success managing complex, long-cycle accounts and achieving growth/renewal targets.

Sector Knowledge

• Understanding of maritime operations, fleet management, AIS data, and analytics.
• Familiarity with digital platforms for vessel tracking, port calls, emissions, and supply chain visibility.
• Understanding of digitalisation trends in shipping and regulatory frameworks (IMO, EU ETS, CII).

Skills

• Excellent relationship management and negotiation abilities.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to simplify technical concepts.
• Strategic and analytical mindset — able to link data solutions to business outcomes.
• Self-starter with a global mindset and the ability to work independently.

Desirable

• Experience using Salesforce.
• Proven experience selling business intelligence, insights, market data or editorial products and/or services.
• Proficiency in a European language.
• A degree in any discipline.
