B2B Account Manager in Cardiff

On behalf of Companies House, we are looking for a B2B Account Manager (Inside IR35) for a one month contract (with possible extension). This is a remote working role. Companies House drives confidence in the economy and makes the UK a great place to start, and run, a business. As an executive agency sponsored by The Department for Business and Trade (DBT), we have the ability to play a leading role in the fight against corrupt business practices by providing the transparency and clarity necessary for the UK to continue to be regarded as a world‑leading place to do business.

Companies House is undergoing an historic change – to our systems, culture, services, and ways of working. Our people are at the heart of these changes. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (2023) gives Companies House the power to play a more significant role in disrupting economic crime and supporting economic growth. These changes represent the biggest opportunity for Companies House in almost 170 years. This move will help us achieve the kind of culture we want – one which drives high performance and where our brilliant people can flourish.
