About the role
Having the right information at the right time can make a significant difference to carers and the people they look after. We believe that technology has a vital role to play in supporting carers and digital solutions can prove both cost effective and highly beneficial. That’s why we developed the Digital Resource for Carers, a service designed to give unpaid carers the support they need when they need it. Delivered through subscribing organisations such as local authorities and other service providers, the Digital Resource for Carers platform is packed with carefully curated resources, e-learning modules, hands-on guides and tools to help carers manage their caring responsibilities and look after themselves.
We are seeking a results-oriented Senior Account Executive to oversee client accounts and help drive business growth. The role focuses on:
Client Relationship Management: Building and nurturing relationships with clients, understanding their needs, and serving as the primary point of contact for any inquiries or concerns.
Account management: Carrying out day-to-day client servicing activities to ensure client satisfaction and the achievement of business objectives.
Business development: Identifying opportunities to expand the offer and contribute to activities that involve seeking and engaging potential clients.
About you
Ideally you will have good experience in managing relationships with clients and managing client accounts and/or sales. We're looking for someone who excels in understanding client needs and responds effectively and serves as the go-to contact for inquiries and concerns, fostering long-lasting, meaningful relationships. You will have excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple client accounts simultaneously and a collaborative attitude with the capacity to work effectively with internal and external teams. Good financial awareness, including experience of meeting or exceeding financial targets is a plus.
