About the role
CLIENT PARTNER
Location: Edinburgh / Hybrid
Reports to: CEO
Duration: Permanent
ABOUT LEGADO
Legado is a B2B SaaS company helping financial services organisations deliver secure, compliant and customer-friendly communication. Our platform brings together Digital Vault, CommsHub and LegadoSign to centralise documents, enable secure digital interactions, streamline signing processes and support regulated customer engagement.
Backed by the FNZ Group and Souter Investments, and trusted by leading financial institutions, we are continuing to grow across the financial services sector.
We are now looking for a Client Partner to own and grow strategic client relationships, support client communication, and help turn client needs into clear product, delivery and commercial priorities.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is not a traditional account management or customer success role. We are looking for someone who can build trusted client relationships, understand complex enterprise problems, and help shape how Legado supports clients across onboarding, adoption, support, expansion and future product development.
The Client Partner will sit between clients, Sales, Product, Delivery and Engineering. You will help clients understand the value of Legado, lead commercially relevant product conversations, support adoption and expansion, and ensure client requests are properly understood before they become product, delivery or support work.
You do not need to be a software engineer, but you do need to be technically fluent. You should be comfortable discussing workflows, integrations, APIs, data, security, implementation considerations and support issues with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
This role will suit someone who is commercially minded, highly structured, client-facing, has a keen eye for opportunity and confident operating in a fast-moving B2B SaaS environment where the answer is not always obvious.
INDICATIVE ROLE FOCUS
Client Growth: 45%: Own client relationships, adoption, retention, expansion and commercial growth.
Solution Shaping: 20% Run initial discovery, shape client problems, lead demos and create reusable proposition insight.
Delivery & Support Coordination: 20%: Manage support communication, delivery handover, training coordination and escalation visibility.
Product Input: 15%: Structure product insight, reduce ad hoc PM burden and give Product clearer client input.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
CLIENT GROWTH
- Own day-to-day and senior stakeholder relationships across strategic clients.
- Maintain account plans, stakeholder maps, current use cases, open risks, growth opportunities and next actions.
- Run client check-ins, service reviews and QBRs.
- Drive adoption and help clients get more value from Digital Vault, CommsHub and LegadoSign.
- Support renewals through proactive account management and clear evidence of value.
- Identify expansion opportunities across new teams, workflows, departments or wider group structures.
- Translate client problems into clear commercial narratives and prepare commercial proposals.
SOLUTION SHAPING
- Lead discovery conversations with clients and prospects where required.
- Ask the right questions to understand client processes, pain points, stakeholders, systems, constraints, risks and desired outcomes.
- Convert broad client statements into clear problem statements.
- Distinguish between product requirements, configuration, delivery effort, commercial scope and bespoke development.
- Create solution outlines, workflow maps, implementation notes and requirement summaries.
- Lead product demonstrations in a way that is relevant to the client’s workflow, problem and operating model.
DELIVERY & SUPPORT COORDINATION
- Support handover from Sales into onboarding, delivery, adoption and ongoing relationship management.
- Ensure Delivery understands the original client discussion, agreed objectives, success criteria and commercial context.
- Coordinate client-facing communication around support issues.
- Triage incoming client issues and route them to the right internal owner.
- Work with Engineering, Product and Delivery to understand issue status, impact, priority and next steps.
- Manage client expectations around issue resolution, timelines, workarounds and escalation.
- Own ongoing client training needs after project handover and hypercare, with support from Solution Consultants where relevant.
PRODUCT INPUT
- Clarify early-stage client requirements before they become formal product requests.
- Turn client feedback, problems and opportunities into clear product briefs, problem statements or requirement summaries.
- Reduce ad hoc product-management burden created by client conversations, delivery questions, support issues and commercial opportunities.
- Help distinguish between urgent client requests, repeatable product opportunities, roadmap candidates, configuration items and one-off bespoke asks.
- Ensure Product is brought into the right conversations at the right time, with the right context.
- Support product launch, adoption and enablement by translating new capabilities into client-facing value narratives.
