Key Tasks and Responsibilities: • Drive the growth and retention of revenue across your portfolio. • Develop and leverage commercial and strategic partnerships to contribute to Mercia's wider growth strategy. • Work closely with a designated Client Success Manager to ensure world-class service for strategic clients and partners. • Build and maintain strategic B2B partnerships; demonstrate solution-selling expertise in regulated industries (accountancy, legal services, or education). • Manage your time and workload efficiently to meet activity targets. • Line manage and support a small team of Key Account Managers. • Prioritise activity across your portfolio to maximise the potential and long-term value of each account. • Negotiate commercially with clients, partners, and procurement teams to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes, consulting legal teams as necessary. • Build and maintain a pipeline of opportunities that grows year on year. • Collaborate with the product division on new solutions, pricing, and go-to-market materials. • Support the wider sales team in commercial negotiations, proposals, and client contracting. • Accurately capture and record client and partner interactions in Salesforce and other systems. • Convert proposals into successful deals and track performance metrics (conversion rates, pipeline growth, revenue retention/win). • Log client feedback, requests, and insights with the Product Department.
