Job description

Key Account Executive

London

£35,000 basic + £48,000 OTE

Hybrid Working (3 days office based initially, reducing to 2)

A growing business within the contractor/payroll space is looking to bring in a Key Account Executive to join its London team.

This role sits within an established account management function and focuses on managing and growing a warm portfolio of agency accounts. You’ll inherit active relationships from day one and work closely with senior members of the team to increase consultant referrals, strengthen client relationships, and identify opportunities for account growth.

The role is heavily relationship-led and would suit somebody who enjoys the client-facing side of sales and account management - building strong partnerships, speaking regularly with clients, and becoming a trusted point of contact across their account base.

The role will involve:

• Managing relationships across a portfolio of warm agency accounts

• Building relationships with consultants and key stakeholders

• Increasing consultant engagement and referral activity

• Supporting senior account managers with account growth strategy

• Handling client queries and ensuring a high level of service

• Attending client meetings and hospitality events where required

• Identifying opportunities for upselling and account expansion

• Maintaining accurate CRM records and account activity

What they’re looking for:

• Previous sales, account management, or client-facing experience

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• A proactive and commercially minded approach

• Somebody organised, confident, and good with people

• Comfortable working towards KPIs and activity targets

• Ability to manage multiple client relationships effectively

Previous experience within the umbrella, payroll, contractor services, or recruitment sector is essential for this role. The ideal candidate will already understand the contractor market, be comfortable dealing with agencies and consultants, and be able to build credibility with clients quickly from day one.

If you’d be interested in hearing more, please apply or get in touch directly.
