Account Director

No working from home possible

  • This is a commercial leadership role for someone who is already a proven, senior revenue producer
  • Reporting to the Head of Sales, you will own our largest and most strategic accounts end-to-end, with full closing and execution rights, while building and growing a team of Analysts, BDRs and Senior BDRs underneath you
  • You’re not just responsible for your own number, you’re responsible for the commercial output of everyone you lead
  • What sets this role apart is the scope and the platform you get to run it on
  • You’ll have full execution rights across our product set, backed by alt21’s market-leading technology and a genuinely diverse offering that lets you structure real solutions for enterprise clients rather than sell a single product
  • We sit deliberately in the middle of brokers, banks and fintechs, sharper and more agile than a bank, deeper and more specialist than a broker, more established and trusted than a fintech and that positioning is exactly what lets you land and grow the enterprise relationships this role is built around
  • Own alt21’s largest and most strategic client relationships end-to-end, with full closing and execution rights across the product set
  • Drive enterprise-level revenue growth, identifying and landing accounts that require longer sales cycles and more complex structuring than standard new business
  • Build, lead and grow a team of Analysts, BDRs and Senior BDRs, setting the standard for how the team sells
  • Step in as an S2 closer whenever a colleague needs support landing a deal — actively encouraged, not incidental
  • Represent alt21 at a senior, commercial level with strategic clients and partners
  • Take ultimate accountability for your team’s commercial output, not just your own number
  • Champion the use of alt21’s platform and tooling across your team, so automation and good process — not manual workarounds — scale with headcount
  • Identify where systems, dashboards or vendor integrations could better support enterprise account management, and push for those improvements
  • Set the expectation across your team that manual, repetitive tasks should be questioned and automated wherever possible
  • Use commercial data and reporting to guide where you and your team focus effort, rather than working on instinct alone
  • Build and develop a team of Analysts, BDRs and Senior BDRs, taking full accountability for their growth and output
  • Act as a senior point of escalation and coaching for closers across the floor, including stepping in personally on live deals
  • Partner closely with the Head of Sales on enterprise growth strategy and broader commercial planning
  • Work cross-functionally with operations, onboarding and product teams to ensure strategic accounts get a service that matches their scale
