Client Account Director

Client Account Director

Exclusive opportunity to join a growing, founder-led facilities management services business in a client leadership role, with ownership of a high-profile, multi-site client account.

The role focuses on leading a complex client operation covering building services, compliance and safety, ensuring strong relationships, consistent service delivery and clear commercial control. Working alongside experienced technical leaders, the Client Account Director will act as the primary point of ownership for how the account operates day to day.

Through calm, structured and commercially confident leadership, the role supports a stable, high-performing client partnership aligned to the organisation’s standards and long-term growth plans.

You might come from:

A facilities management, property or engineering-led services background, leading complex client accounts or contracts; or

A professional services, outsourcing or agency environment, where you have owned senior client relationships, managed delivery teams and been accountable for commercial outcomes.

Above all, we are interested in someone with strong client-service instinct, leadership maturity and commercial judgement — background is less important than behaviour.

• Partner closely with technical and operational leaders to align delivery with client expectations.
• Embed a strong culture of safety, compliance and risk awareness across teams and suppliers.
• Drive continuous improvement across service delivery, efficiency and commercial outcomes.

Skills & Experience:

• Experience in client-facing account, contract or operational leadership roles within complex, service-led or multi-site environments.
• Strong commercial judgement, with confidence owning budgets and discussing performance with clients.
• Proven ability to build trusted relationships across complex organisations.
• Comfortable leading through others in delivery-focused or regulated settings.
