Role Overview

We are seeking one Account Manager to fully own a portfolio of client relationships. This role is distinct from support or cold-calling functions; the focus is on retaining and expanding client business based on genuine value.

Key Responsibilities

• Be the primary point of contact for clients, developing a deep understanding of their business objectives and ensuring seamless communication without acting as mere intermediaries.
• Drive commercial growth by identifying authentic business and technological needs, proposing appropriate IT advisory, project delivery, and managed service solutions, and leading opportunities to successful closure, emphasizing trust and repeat referrals.
• Create and maintain IT roadmaps aligned with client goals across infrastructure, cloud, security, productivity, and automation, managing progress through structured quarterly reviews that demonstrate value.
• Regularly evaluate account health, proactively flagging risks and implementing recovery strategies to maintain strong client relationships.
• Manage contracts, renewals, billing, procurement, and all account administrative duties efficiently to ensure accuracy and timely completion.

Candidate Profile

• Proven experience managing B2B client accounts with direct commercial responsibility rather than mere service coordination.
• Background working with growing, established organizations engaging directly with owners or key decision-makers instead of procurement committees.
• Preference for nurturing and expanding a focused client portfolio of existing accounts over cold outreach.
• Relationship-building skills grounded in delivering business improvements and candid communication trusted by clients.
• Ability to handle client issues calmly and responsibly, owning resolution processes with transparent communication.
• Comfort and competence discussing business strategies with owners beyond superficial service metrics.
• Strong follow-through ensuring tasks and commitments reach completion without constant supervision.

Unsuitable Candidates

• Individuals seeking an account management title without accountability.
• Those treating the role as forwarding communications between clients and technical teams.
• Persons who avoid confronting issues with dissatisfied clients or gloss over problems rather than resolve them.
• Experience limited to enterprise accounts managed via procurement portals and formal tender processes.
• Dependence on assigned call lists instead of self-driven account management.
• Applicants aiming to transition into technical roles instead of focusing on account management.

Mandatory Requirements

• Currently present in Dubai on a visit visa with immediate availability to start.
• Experience handling B2B accounts with real commercial ownership.
• Preferably prior account management experience within IT or managed service providers.
• Excellent verbal and written English communication.
