About the role

As an Account Manager in BT’s Banking & Financial Services team, you'll work closely with some of the UK’s leading financial institutions, building strong partnerships and helping them tackle their biggest technology challenges.

You'll have the opportunity to grow and develop key accounts by bringing together BT’s expertise across secure networks, cloud, and digital transformation solutions. Along the way, you'll support customers with their resilience, compliance, and modernisation goals, playing an important role in helping some of the UK's most critical organisations adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.

What you’ll be doing

•    Manage a portfolio of 7–12 banking and financial services accounts, aiming to actively grow BT’s presence and wallet share within those businesses.
•    Manage forecasts, revenues and P&L for your accounts, ensuring targets are met and opportunities are accurately tracked.
•    Build and execute account plans focused on “hunting” new opportunities within existing customers, from first contact through to successful close.
•    Collaborate with solution specialists and cross-functional teams to understand customer pain points and design tailored, multi-tower solutions (e.g. connectivity, security, infrastructure).
•    Develop multi-million-pound transformation programmes and opportunities, including underlay and overlay network solutions, cloud connectivity, and security services.
•    Maintain deep understanding of financial services regulations (e.g., FCA, PRA) and ensure BT solutions meet compliance and security standards.
•    Provide clear, proactive communication to customers and internal stakeholders, acting as the primary point of contact for your accounts.

Essential Skills / Experience

•    Proven experience in account management or B2B sales, ideally with corporate or regulated industry customers.
•    Knowledge of network architecture, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions.
•    Demonstrated ability for solution selling, focusing on customer outcomes rather than individual products.
•    Commercial acumen, including managing revenues and P&L ownership.
•    Ability to engage credibly at multiple stakeholder levels.

Desirable Skills / Experience

Background in managing large, complex bids or contracts with extended sales cycles.
Ability to use data and insight to shape account strategy and articulate a compelling commercial narrative to customers.
Experience working across geographically virtual teams to deliver shared commercial outcomes.
Managing a portfolio of accounts and balancing hunting for new growth with developing existing relationships.
