Account Relationship Manager - Strategic Network Partnership (Midlands and South West)

What you’ll be doing

You'll be part of a national field team of Account Relationship Managers, reporting into a Relationships Team Lead. You will work closely with your team lead on territory strategy, pipeline reviews and joint field visits.

Your responsibilities include:

• Proactive Adviser Engagement
  • Own a defined regional portfolio of advisers within the partner network based in the Midlands and South West, taking personal responsibility for the depth of engagement and the volume and quality of referrals generated.
  • Spend the substantial majority of your time in the field, visiting advisers in their offices and practices, attending regional network events, and building face-to-face relationships that drive consistent referral behaviour.
  • Proactively reach out to advisers who are registered but not yet actively referring, understanding what is holding them back and working to unlock their activity.
  • Work to deepen engagement with active advisers, helping them identify more of their clients who could benefit from the Flagstone platform.
• Proposition Training & Education
  • Deliver clear, confident and compelling presentations of the Flagstone proposition to advisers, individually and in group settings.
  • Keep advisers up to date with product developments, platform enhancements, and any changes to how Flagstone operates within the network's framework.
  • Develop a thorough understanding of how advisers operate under a corporate distribution agreement – the products they are permitted to recommend, the regulatory framework that governs them, and how Flagstone fits within it.
  • Use insight from adviser conversations to feedback objections, platform friction points, or proposition gaps that are limiting referral activity.
• Reactive Support & Pipeline Management
  • Act as a knowledgeable and responsive point of contact for advisers when they have questions about Flagstone, the referral process, or platform features.
  • Resolve queries with pace and accuracy, always closing the loop with the adviser.
  • Support advisers through the onboarding of referred clients, ensuring any friction is addressed quickly.
  • Maintain a clear and current picture of your regional pipeline, tracking adviser engagement levels, referral volumes and conversion activity.
  • Report regularly to the Relationships Team Lead on the health of your region: what is working, where the opportunities are, and where support is needed.

What you’ll bring

• Field Sales & Relationship Management
  • Experience in a field-based sales or relationship management role, with a proven track record of building trusted relationships face to face and converting engagement into commercial outcomes.
  • Genuine comfort being out in the field every day – you need to be energised by travel, variety, and in-person interaction.
  • The personal presence and communication skills to represent Flagstone confidently in front of financial advisers and wealth professionals, one-to-one or in a group setting.
• Financial Services Knowledge
  • A solid understanding of the UK financial advice market, including the differences between independent, restricted and network advisers, and how cash management fits within an adviser’s wider client proposition.
  • Experience working with, or selling into, a large adviser network, national wealth managers, IFA consolidators, or platforms operating under a corporate distribution agreement is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with the dynamics of a corporate distribution partnership – including how head-office relationships interact with adviser-level activity – is also an advantage.
  • Sufficient financial literacy to have credible conversations about cash, interest rates, FSCS protection and multi-bank diversification.
• Commercial Drive & Self-Direction
  • A commercially motivated self-starter who takes personal ownership of regional performance and does not wait to be told where to focus.
  • Organised and disciplined in how you manage your territory: you plan your time, track your pipeline and follow up consistently.
  • Comfortable working autonomously while operating as part of a national team, sharing insight, raising issues early, and contributing to how the function evolves.
