The Opportunity

Welocity is recruiting on behalf of its client, NowVertical, for an experienced Senior Account Director to drive the retention, development and commercial growth of its strategic enterprise accounts across North America and EMEA.

This is an opportunity for a commercially astute account leader who excels at building senior client relationships, identifying growth opportunities and turning successful delivery into long-term commercial value.

You will take ownership of an established portfolio of enterprise accounts, working closely with executive stakeholders and internal Delivery, Solutions and Consulting teams to strengthen client partnerships, protect existing revenue and identify opportunities for expansion.

The role is focused on growing existing relationships rather than purely acquiring new clients. You will be expected to understand each account's business priorities, identify untapped opportunities and build a clear strategy for sustainable revenue growth.
