What’s the opportunity? (Role)
We are looking for a commercially minded Key Account Manager who can combine relationship leadership, technical curiosity and disciplined service governance. You will own a portfolio of strategic managed service accounts, become a trusted client resource and use the capability of the wider Hereworks team to solve problems, improve performance and create sustainable account growth.

What will you be doing? (Responsibilities)

The client relationship

Build credible relationships across Facilities, IT, Workplace, Operations, Procurement and leadership teams. Develop multi-threaded stakeholder coverage so the partnership is not dependent on one contact.

Account health and retention

Maintain a current view of service performance, stakeholder confidence, risks, contract position, renewal timeline and actions. Identify issues early and coordinate an effective response.

Quarterly Business Reviews

Plan and lead client-facing QBRs and service reviews. Present contract performance, SLA and service trends, major incidents, action progress, improvement activity, roadmap priorities and agreed next steps.

Contract performance and governance

Understand the services, scope, responsibilities, SLAs and commercial commitments within each account. Ensure reporting is accurate, expectations remain aligned and actions have named owners and deadlines.

Account growth

Own the account growth plan and opportunity pipeline. Identify unmet needs, frame the business problem, qualify the opportunity and mobilise Hereworks specialists to develop a deliverable and commercially sound solution.

The voice of the client

Translate client needs, feedback and operational challenges into clear internal briefs. Close the loop by communicating decisions, commitments and outcomes back to the client.

Joined-up delivery

Work across Customer Success, Service, Operations, Smart Buildings, Design and Solutions, Projects and Commercial teams. Support project-to-service handovers, mobilisation and continuous improvement.

Account planning and CRM discipline

Maintain account plans, stakeholder maps, success plans, opportunity records, meeting notes, actions, forecasts and renewal milestones in the agreed company systems.

‍

Commercial expectation
Selling is an essential part of this role. It should be consultative, evidence-led and grounded in genuine client need. The successful candidate will be comfortable initiating commercial conversations, asking direct questions, qualifying value and budget, progressing opportunities, contributing to proposals and maintaining momentum through to decision.

Build an account growth plan for each strategic client, with priorities, whitespace, stakeholder strategy and next actions.

Develop and maintain a credible pipeline of renewals, service expansions, consultancy and technology opportunities.

Work with technical and commercial colleagues to turn a client problem into a defined scope, value proposition and proposal.

Balance advocacy with commercial judgement. Be trusted by the client without becoming an uncritical messenger for every request.

Own follow-through. Opportunities do not move forward solely because they have been handed to another internal

What do you need? (Requirements)

Technical level required

You do not need to be the engineer in the room, but you must be technically credible. You should be able to understand a client’s environment, ask useful diagnostic questions, recognise dependencies and risks, and translate business or operational needs into a clear brief for Hereworks specialists.

Technical fluency, not technical theatre

The role needs enough AV, Smart Building, IoT, workplace technology or managed services knowledge to lead a productive client conversation. Where deeper expertise is required, your strength will be knowing who to involve, giving them a high-quality brief and keeping ownership of the client outcome.

Essential experience

Proven experience owning and growing B2B customer accounts in managed services, AV, Smart Buildings, IoT, workplace technology, facilities technology or a comparable enterprise technology environment.

Commercial ownership

Evidence of retaining accounts, supporting renewals and creating revenue growth from existing customers. Comfortable with targets, pipeline management, proposals and commercial negotiation.

Technical and industry credibility

A practical understanding of technology-enabled services and the confidence to discuss client environments, outcomes, scope, service performance and solution options without overstating your expertise.

Executive communication

Strong presentation, writing and facilitation skills. Able to lead QBRs, communicate difficult messages, provide concise executive summaries and document decisions clearly.

Service and contract literacy

Comfortable reading contracts, scopes of work and SLAs, interpreting performance data and distinguishing what is contracted from what is requested.

Stakeholder leadership

Able to build rapport at operational and senior levels, navigate multiple interests, challenge constructively and gain commitment to actions.

Personal ownership

Organised, proactive and dependable. You identify gaps, pursue actions and escalate intelligently rather than waiting for issues to resolve themselves.

Mobility

Able to travel to client sites across Ireland and, when required, the UK.

Desired but not Essential

Experience with service governance, incident management, mobilisation or project-to-service handover

Experience with workplace analytics, occupancy technology, meeting-room systems, digital signage, building integrations or remote monitoring

Experience supporting complex, regulated or high-profile enterprise clients

Working knowledge of Customer Success planning, lifecycle planning and continuous service improvement

Relevant qualifications or certifications in AVIXA, ITIL, customer success, account management, project management, engineering, technology or commercial management
