About the Role

This is a role for someone who thrives on getting involved in the detail, solving problems, and making things happen. You will be the primary point of contact for a portfolio of key clients, ensuring that their needs are met through effective service delivery and operational excellence. You’ll lead a team responsible for account management and billing/dispute resolution, and work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure that all contractual obligations are fulfilled efficiently and professionally.

You’ll be expected to build strong, long-term relationships with clients, not by selling, but by delivering consistently high standards of service and by being a trusted operational partner. Your ability to lead, influence, and drive performance will be critical to the success of this role.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the operational delivery of existing client contracts, ensuring all services are delivered to agreed standards and timelines.
• Act as the main point of contact for key clients, building strong relationships based on trust, transparency, and performance.
• Lead and manage a team of Account Managers and Billing/Disputes professionals, providing guidance, support, and development opportunities.
• Oversee the resolution of billing issues and disputes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and client satisfaction.
• Collaborate with internal teams including operations, finance, and compliance to ensure seamless service delivery.
• Monitor and report on contract performance, identifying areas for improvement and implementing solutions.
• Support contract renewals, pricing discussions, and scope changes, ensuring alignment with client needs and business objectives.
• Maintain a deep understanding of client requirements, industry developments, and regulatory changes to ensure ongoing compliance and relevance.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, operational efficiency, and customer focus within your team and across the wider business.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in account management and operational delivery, ideally within the utilities, infrastructure, or service delivery sectors.
• A hands-on, proactive approach with a strong focus on execution and results.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and develop high-performing teams.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage stakeholders at all levels.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail.
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
• Experience in the metering or wider energy sector.
• Degree in Business, Operations Management, or a related field.
• Familiarity with industry regulations and compliance requirements.

• Competitive salary of £62,000 per annum, with annual salary reviews.
• 30 days’ holiday (rising to 33 with service), including bank holidays.
• Birthday off – celebrate your special day on us.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave to support you through life’s key moments.
• Life assurance (4x salary) for peace of mind.
• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme – drive into a greener future.
• Pension plan to help you plan for the long term.
• Health Shield benefits programme – claim back on everyday health expenses and access wellbeing support.
