Account Director- IT & Managed Services

The Role

Our customer is seeking an experienced SMB Account Director with a strong background in Managed Service Provider (MSP) environments, to drive new logo acquisition and strategic account growth across the 50–500 user customer segment.

This role operates as a senior overlay position alongside Enterprise Account Managers, with full commercial ownership of assigned opportunities and accounts. Success in this role requires a consultative, outcome‑led sales approach and the ability to build long‑term customer relationships in complex MSP-led environments.

In your first 12 months, you will be accountable for delivering £250k in Annual Gross Profit (AGP) while driving multi‑pillar adoption across Connectivity, Mobile, Modern Workspace, Cyber Security and Managed Services.
