  • Direct Account Ownership: Drive cross-sell and growth in key accounts.
  • Planning & Alignment: Align client business and IT strategies with service capabilities.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with delivery, operations, and technical teams.
  • Thought Leadership: Represent the business at industry events and executive forums.


Ideal Candidate

  • Proven success in senior client leadership roles within IT managed services or infrastructure.
  • Experience closing large, complex deals across new and existing accounts.
  • Gravitas to engage credibly at executive level.
  • Strong commercial acumen and strategic thinking.
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator.
  • Full UK driving license required.
