Senior Account Manager – Large Business Energy Sales
📍Location: UK (Hybrid / Flexible)
🕓Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
About the Opportunity
Our client is a leading UK energy organisation playing a critical role in helping British businesses and the public sector achieve Net Zero. Operating across multiple markets — including wholesale, residential, business energy solutions, and field services — the business is recognised for its scale, resilience, and ability to deliver value in a highly competitive and fast-evolving market.
With a multi-billion-pound turnover and a large UK-based workforce supported by international delivery teams, my client combines the stability of a major energy provider with the pace and commercial challenge of a modern energy business. The culture is built around ownership, openness, and continuous improvement, with a strong focus on delivering excellent customer and employee experiences.
The Team
The Large Business Sales function is responsible for managing and growing a portfolio of high-value electricity supply customers, typically organisations consuming20GWh+ per year. The team focuses on flexible and structured supply contracts, long-term customer value, and the development of value-adding energy solutions and services.
The Role
As a Senior Account Manager, you will take ownership of a portfolio of complex, high-value electricity supply customers. You will be responsible for retaining and growing existing accounts while identifying and developing new commercial opportunities.
This is a senior, consultative role requiring strong commercial judgement, deep industry understanding, and the ability to build trusted relationships at multiple levels — including senior leadership and board-level stakeholders.
You will act as a subject matter expert across energy contracts, market dynamics, and regulation, working closely with internal pricing, risk, operations, and product teams to deliver commercially viable and customer-focused solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Proactively develop and grow a portfolio of large, complex energy customers
Achieve revenue and value targets through structured electricity supply contracts and value-adding products
Use insight-led, consultative selling to link customer needs to energy solutions
Identify and develop new business opportunities within existing and new accounts
Build and maintain detailed account plans based on customer intelligence
Lead multi-stakeholder engagement internally and externally to drive deal success
Act as a senior ambassador for the organisation in customer and industry interactions
Stay up to date with B2B energy markets, regulation, and commercial trends
Ensure full compliance with governance, policy, and risk frameworks
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience managing complex, high-value B2B customer portfolios
Strong background in the energy sector, ideally within a deal-focused or wholesale environment
Solid understanding of electricity markets, structured contracts, and risk management
Ability to articulate complex commercial and financial scenarios clearly
Confident engaging senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making
Proactive, self-directed, and commercially driven
Comfortable taking ownership and accountability for outcomes
Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across multiple internal teams
Why Apply?
Join a market-leading energy organisation central to the UK’s Net Zero transition
Take ownership of a high-profile, high-value customer portfolio
Operate in a commercially sophisticated and strategically important role
Work within a culture that values ownership, transparency, and continuous improvement
Long-term career development opportunities within a large, established energy group
