You’ll also help create a joined-up and insight-led approach to strategic accounts by coordinating client feedback, engagement activity, cross-selling opportunities and events, while ensuring account information remains accurate and up to date.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Coordinate the day-to-day delivery of the Strategic Account Management Programme across different client groups.


• Support and increasingly take ownership of account review and planning meetings, including preparation, capturing insight and following up agreed actions.
