Job description

CreateFuture is fast becoming the UK’s most recognisable digital consultancy, with years of experience building digital products and services for major organisations whilst putting our people first. We have offices in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, and London, as well as remote employees throughout the country.

We are a team of creators—whether that’s code, project plans, go-to-market strategies, culture initiatives, marketing campaigns, large language models, or people policies. Together with our clients, we create the future. We have collaborated across various industries with clients like PayPal, adidas, Natwest, FanDuel, and Money Saving Expert.

Our reputation for delivering high-quality, robust, and thoughtful products has helped us grow to over 500 people recently. Our culture is safe, supportive, and friendly, making CreateFuture a great place to work. We have been recognized by Best Workplaces UK multiple years in a row across various categories, and our employee exit rate is remarkably low.

Join us on our journey… Let’s create tomorrow, together, today.

About the role and team:

Senior Client Partners help our customers achieve their strategic objectives while driving value for CreateFuture. They focus on growth within existing clients, understanding their business and industry, and building strong relationships at all levels. They are problem solvers, ask questions, listen, think, advise, and align teams around common goals. You will manage the full sales cycle and oversee a portfolio of accounts.

What you’ll be doing

1. Client Relationship Management: Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with C-level executives and key stakeholders. Lead a portfolio of accounts to support strategic objectives, ensuring services meet expectations and deliver value.
2. Organic Growth: Identify and develop growth opportunities within existing accounts. Collaborate with clients and internal teams to expand engagement, deepen relationships, and support long-term success.
3. Strategic Account Planning: Develop and lead strategic account plans aligning internal teams and investments with client goals. Proactively identify risks, opportunities, and areas for innovation, ensuring alignment across delivery and client services.
4. Market and Industry Expertise: Stay informed about client trends, technologies, and the competitive landscape to shape strategy and reinforce CreateFuture’s market position. Represent CreateFuture in the broader technical community.
5. Proven Experience: Experience in account management, consultancy, or similar roles, consistently meeting or exceeding targets. Demonstrated success managing accounts with over £5m annual revenue, growing long-term relationships, and driving measurable client outcomes.
6. Client Service Excellence: Extensive experience in professional services and digital product/technology delivery, working directly with senior stakeholders to deliver value and satisfaction.
7. Growth Mindset: Passion for digital products and technology, with the ability to proactively expand relationships and challenge existing ways of working. A positive, can-do attitude and willingness to take senior stakeholders on that journey.
8. Strategic Thinker: Strong analytical and strategic skills to identify opportunities, assess risks, and propose impactful solutions aligned with client and business needs.

This is a hybrid role. We’re looking for candidates within commuting distance of our hubs in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, or London, who are flexible to travel to client sites and regional offices. We trust you to manage your schedule to balance face-to-face interactions and remote work.

We foster a culture that rewards impact, not just activity. We trust our employees to work autonomously and promote ownership at all levels.
