Senior Account Manager - Energy And Commodities
Senior Account Manager
£80k – £100k+ base | 100% OTE | London (Hybrid)
A high-growth data, AI and consultancy-led business is looking to hire an Account Manager or Senior Account Manager into its Energy and Commodities team.
This is a genuine growth hire within an expanding area of the business and would suit someone who wants a broader commercial role that combines new business, account development and consultative selling, rather than a purely transactional desk.
The business has moved beyond a traditional staffing model and now works in a more solutions-led way, combining talent, capability and consultancy-style offerings to solve client problems.
Why this role is live
The team is growing and the business is continuing to invest in its Energy and Commodities division. This hire is part of a wider expansion plan rather than a replacement, with a need for an additional commercial person at Account Manager or Senior Account Manager level.
The opportunity
This is a client-facing commercial role focused on building and growing relationships across the Energy and Commodities market.
You will be responsible for winning new clients, growing selected existing accounts and building senior-level relationships across the sector. The role will also involve selling a mix of talent, capability and solutions-led offerings, while working closely with internal delivery and solutions teams.
It is a strong fit for someone who wants to help shape market strategy as the team continues to grow.
What the role will involve
Winning new clients across the Energy and Commodities space
Growing selected existing accounts
Building senior relationships within key client organisations
Selling broader workforce, capability and solutions-led offerings
Working closely with internal delivery and solutions teams
Supporting the wider growth strategy of the team
What the split looks like
There will be access to existing accounts, but this is not a fully inherited patch. It is best suited to someone who wants to build, rather than simply maintain.
Market coverage
The role covers a broad Energy and Commodities landscape, including:
Oil and gas
Utilities
Retail energy
Networks and distribution
Renewables
Commodity trading
Mining
Energy consultancies
Adjacent infrastructure and energy-related businesses
Existing account exposure
Current clients include:
BP
Shell
SSE
Octopus
National Grid
There are also warm leads and introductions generated through the wider business.
What they are looking for
They are looking for someone who is:
Commercially sharp
Proactive and self-sufficient
Curious and consultative
A strong relationship builder
Comfortable winning new business
Happy in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
Able to work independently without needing heavy direction
Background they will consider
Energy or commodities experience is helpful, but not essential.
They are open to people coming from backgrounds such as:
Account management
Business development
Recruitment
Workforce solutions
Consulting or solution sales
Technology, data or transformation-led commercial roles
What matters most is attitude, hunger, curiosity, sales capability and the ability to build relationships in a consultative environment.
Why the role stands out
This is an opportunity to join a business that is evolving in a more strategic direction.
The offering today is broader than a standard recruitment model and includes a mix of workforce and capability solutions, with an increasing focus on data and AI-led solutions. That means the conversations are more consultative and outcome-driven, with the chance to sell broader business value rather than just headcount.
Why this could be a strong move
Genuine growth hire
Broad and attractive market
Opportunity to build your own niche
Mix of new business and account growth
More strategic than a standard desk
Exposure to data, AI and solutions-led conversations
Strong momentum across the team
Team and culture
The culture is proactive, collaborative, commercial and fast-paced. It will suit someone who enjoys ownership, visibility and being part of a growing team.
Who this would suit
This role is likely to appeal to someone who:
Enjoys opening doors and building relationships
Likes creating opportunities rather than inheriting everything
Wants a more strategic commercial role
Can sell into large, complex organisations
Wants more than a traditional staffing or sales position
