Key Account Director

Six Degrees is a leading secure, integrated cloud services provider, where everyone is welcome. We believe success lies in harnessing a truly diverse and inclusive culture.

Our business protects UK organisations with the goal of enabling them to operate effectively and securely in the cloud, by giving them secure platforms to innovate and grow. We support our customers on their digital transformation journey regardless of their maturity. Our vision is to be the UK’s number one provider of secure, integrated cloud services to the small to mid-size market.

Our Account Directors are the primary commercial and strategic engagement point between Six Degrees and our customer base. This role is responsible for increasing sales activity and growing revenue within our accounts. You will be building a pipeline, identifying and closing new business opportunities within existing clients and new logos across the defined account base allocated.

This will involve establishing relationships with clients, developing a deep understanding of their challenges, building a detailed knowledge of Six Degrees products and capabilities, and ultimately ensuring we are best placed to capitalise on any new business opportunities as they arise.

As a Key Account Director you will develop trusted advisor relationships with key accounts, customer stakeholders and executive sponsors as well as create and maintain an active account development plan.

If you have previously delivered client-focused solutions to customer needs and have strong experience of managing multiple account projects at a time in the MSP sector, we'd love to hear from you.

We believe it's important that candidates have an understanding of key issues in the sector that are driving spend and significant experience of managing an account base.

Six Degrees is not interested in paying lip-service to diversity and inclusion, just observing our statutory duties. We work to continually re-affirm our commitment to cultivating a workplace and society that embraces and vigorously defends equity, diversity and inclusion. This includes all aspects of recruitment and employment - our recruitment and selection processes are open and fair, and we will always consider any reasonable adjustments or flexible working requirements. We are also an active member of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion (ENEI) who support us on this journey.

Our recruitment process:

We don’t like to have lengthy recruitment processes here at Six Degrees as it’s more important for us that you have the opportunity to meet with people you’ll work alongside. We will review all of our applications in detail and our Talent Acquisition team will arrange a telephone or video call if your background and experiences fits what we're looking. All being well, you will be invited to attend a behavioural interview with your line manager and members of the team to talk through your fit for the role in detail and explain more about Six Degrees. Some of our positions are so important to the business that we'll invite you back for a second and final interview, where you’ll be asked to complete a role-specific activity. After your final stage in the assessment process, we will confirm the outcome and hopefully welcome you to the Six Degrees family! Apply today at 6dg.co.uk
