Why this job matters

As an Account Manager in our Banking & Financial Services team, you'll lead on the development of solution-led opportunities across connectivity, security and related services, positioning yourself as a trusted strategic advisor.  You'll help customers navigate digital transformation while expanding BT's footprint and wallet share within each account, managing & growing a portfolio of corporate customers. 

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.

Experience Required

•    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.
•    Comfortable working in a dynamic environment, managing a portfolio of accounts and balancing hunting for new growth with developing existing relationships.
