Summary
Head of Account Management – Contingent Labour / Professional Services
Leicestershire | Hybrid (3 days office / 2 days home)
This is a senior leadership role for someone who understands the contingent labour market and knows how to build, protect, and grow high-value client relationships.
You’ll take ownership of a portfolio of strategic B2B clients, acting as the commercial lead across service delivery, retention, and revenue growth. Alongside this, you’ll lead and develop a small account management function, setting the standard for how clients are engaged, reviewed, and retained.
The role sits at the intersection of commercial strategy, client success, and service delivery.

Role:
- Own and develop senior relationships with key contingent labour and compliance clients
- Drive revenue growth through retention, expansion, and value-led commercial conversations
- Lead, coach, and develop an account management team
- Embed consistent account management and client review frameworks
- Act as the senior escalation point for key accounts
- Provide commercial reporting and insight to senior leadership
What they’re looking for
- Proven senior account management or client success leadership experience
- Strong background in the contingent labour, recruitment, or workforce solutions market
- Commercially sharp, with a track record of growing revenue from existing clients
- Confident leading senior stakeholder conversations
- Experience managing or mentoring client-facing teams
- Comfortable working across legal, technical, and delivery environments
Desirable
- Exposure to IR35, off-payroll working, contractor compliance, or professional services
- Experience within recruitment, insurance, tax, or consultancy environments
Package & benefits
- Hybrid working (3 days office-based in Leicestershire)
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Private healthcare
- Strong pension
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
