We are recruiting a Commercial Waste Account Manager to join the team at Boston Borough Council. This is an opportunity to shape a growing service, drive innovation, and make a meaningful impact on sustainability and local business engagement by helping secure new commercial opportunities for the Council. You will take the lead on promoting and expanding our commercial waste and recycling operations.

What We Are Looking For: We’re looking for someone who is passionate about building relationships, developing opportunities, and delivering excellent customer experiences. You’ll thrive in a role where every day brings variety — from engaging with local businesses to identifying new ways to grow and improve our commercial waste services.
