    • Ensure the highest standard of account governance and proactively manage risks and escalations
    • Drive client satisfaction, commercial growth, and profitability across accounts
    • Lead senior-level opportunities through all stages of the sales lifecycle — from identification to deal closure and delivery
    • Maintain high-quality pipeline and CRM hygiene in line with Ciklum's sales process and reporting expectations
    • Own and manage the full account-level P&L, contracts, invoicing, and commercial governance

    Requirements:

    • 10-15 years in senior client-facing roles such as Account Director, Client Partner, or similar, ideally within technology solutions / IT services / digital consultancy
    • Strong domain knowledge of the Travel and Hospitality sector in the UK and relevant operational and digital trends
    • Proven track record managing C-level relationships and driving large-scale transformation deals
    • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and executive presentation skills
    • Strong leadership and team collaboration skills in complex, matrix environments
    • Experience managing account-level financials (P&L), contracts, and revenue targets
    • Familiarity with onshore, nearshore, and offshore delivery models
    • Strong commercial acumen and ability to develop high-value propositions
    • A self-starter mindset, with a passion for growth, ownership, and continuous improvement

    Personal skills:

    • Strategic thinker with entrepreneurial energy
    • Strong influencing and relationship-building capabilities
    • Highly motivated, results-driven, and collaborative
    • Ability to operate independently while fostering team success
    • Mature, responsible, and people-oriented leader

    What's in it for you?

    • Attractive compensation package
    • Career development in a successful, high-growth company with a unique market offering
    • A dynamic environment backed by Private Equity, promoting agility and innovation
