A quick look at the role.
We are looking for an Account Manager to account manage and have overall responsibility for the retention, growth, account management and profitability of SME Accounts aligned to the geographical location appointed.

If Customer Services are contacted for cancellation and cannot retain or feel that this customer is still high risk, the details will be passed to the Account Manager and contact is to be made within 24 hours. They will then visit the site and review what new options can be offered to the customer based on an on-site waste review with the explicit intention of retaining the business. The Account Manager is measured on customer retention/churn and growth/profitability.

  • Ensuring that all business within the portfolio between Biffa and the customer has a signed contract, scanned and recorded on the system.
  • Working closely with Customer Services to ensure administrative tasks are communicated to the relative support team and resolved.
  • Working with the Operations function to identify creative and innovative solutions which will reduce churn in line with company targets.
  • Carrying out site audits for SME accounts.
  • Liaising regularly with Depot Managers, Regional Managers and Regional Sales Managers to solve customer complaints, issues and changes.
  • Supporting the Depot in any ad hoc projects or urgent business priorities in relation to existing SME customers in the area.

Our essential requirements

  • You will have a proven track record for effectively managing customer accounts.
  • You will have excellent inter-personal and presentation skills, demonstrating a strong 'can do' attitude towards account management.
  • You will be tenacious, resilient, determined to succeed and prepared to 'go that extra mile' to win our customer's commitment towards a lasting and profitable partnership.
  • Ability to travel.
  • Excellent analytical skills
  • Strong Commercial background and awareness
  • Analytical and able to quickly assess issues and recommend and/or implement solutions
  • Experience of building and maintaining customer relationships
  • Ability to plan, organise and prioritise
