- Partner directly with team members on strategic customers and escalations to protect revenue, improve outcomes, and strengthen long-term advocacy.
Account Coverage, Structure & Operational Discipline

- Establish leadership rhythms, reporting, and performance routines that give clear visibility into retention, risk, growth, and team execution.
- Bring structure and scalable processes to a growing team with a complex customer base and changing commercial priorities.
Team Leadership, Coaching & Development
- Lead, coach, and develop a growing EMEA Client Management team through clear expectations, regular one-to-ones, performance conversations, and consistent leadership rhythms.

- Coach the team on consultative customer conversations, renewal and expansion strategies, account planning, prioritisation, and disciplined follow-through.
Operational Excellence & Execution
