We are looking for an Account Manager with a strong technical foundation to manage and grow a portfolio of existing customers. This role is suited to someone with experience working within a UK MSP environment who understands how managed services operate, both commercially and technically.

You will act as the main point of contact for customers, owning the relationship, identifying opportunities and working closely with service delivery and technical teams to ensure solutions are delivered correctly.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage a portfolio of existing customers as their primary commercial contact

• Build trusted relationships with IT managers, technical stakeholders and business decision makers

• Work to a defined sales process, focused on solving customer problems and creating long-term value rather than pushing products

• Understand customer environments across desktop support, service desk, private cloud, Microsoft Azure, networking, backup, disaster recovery and managed security

• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities aligned to genuine customer needs

• Work closely with technical teams to scope, document and deliver solutions

• Support contract renewals, pricing discussions and service changes

• Maintain strong sales administration standards, ensuring CRM data, forecasting and account records are accurate and up to date

• Proactively manage account health, customer satisfaction and retention

• Attend customer review meetings and contribute to ongoing service improvement

Required Skills and Experience

• Experience working as an Account Manager within a UK MSP or IT services provider

• Strong understanding of managed IT services including desktop support, cloud infrastructure and security services

• Confidence discussing a range of IT services and solutions with customers and internal teams

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences

• A strong customer service ethos, with a genuine focus on doing the right thing for customers

• Demonstrable grit, determination and a strong work ethic

• Strong organisational and sales administration skills, with high standards for CRM hygiene and use of internal systems and tools

• Commercial awareness, with experience managing renewals, pipeline and account growth

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Previous experience in a technical role such as service desk, desktop support or infrastructure

• Familiarity with ITIL based service delivery

• Experience with Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 and common MSP security tooling

Team Culture and Ways of Working

The Arc sales team is a demanding but rewarding place to work. We set high standards for ourselves and each other, and we take ownership of outcomes rather than excuses. Our culture is built around trust, accountability and doing the right thing for our customers.

We have a strong spirit of continuous improvement and are always looking for better ways to work, improve service quality and deliver more value. Consistent learning is a core expectation, whether that is developing technical knowledge, sharpening commercial skills or learning from mistakes.

This role will suit someone who is comfortable being challenged, open to feedback, motivated by growth and prepared to work hard to succeed.
