Account Manager – Apprenticeships & Professional Training

Account Manager – Apprenticeships & Professional Training

Salary: Up to £40,000 + OTE £50,000

Location: Remote

We’re working exclusively with a fast-growing and innovative training provider that has recently secured several major national contracts and continues to grow its client base across AI, Data, and Business Analytics. As part of their continued expansion, they’re looking to appoint a high-calibre Account Manager to join their commercial team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a relationship-led professional who thrives on engaging with senior stakeholders, leading on opportunities, and driving growth from warm, high-value leads.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional outbound sales role. Instead, you’ll take ownership of key incoming enquiries and large-scale opportunities, playing a leading role in converting them into long-term partnerships.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading on client meetings, pitches, and tender submissions
• Managing and nurturing warm, high-value leads
• Building trusted relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders
• Identifying opportunities to grow accounts across multiple departments
• Following up on leads generated through webinars, events, and campaigns
• Supporting the growth of Data, Business Analyst, and AI apprenticeship programmes, alongside short courses
• Collaborating closely with delivery and internal teams to shape client solutions

About You

We’re looking for someone who can operate with credibility and confidence in a client-facing role:

• Strong account management or consultative sales experience
• Excellent presentation and communication skills
• Proven ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders
• Experience within apprenticeships, with a strong understanding of the current landscape, including funding
• A natural account developer, able to grow existing clients to their full potential
• Commercially astute, with the ability to spot and develop opportunities
• A proactive networker who can engage clients beyond the initial enquiry
• Comfortable using AI tools and LinkedIn as part of your day-to-day approach
• A collaborative team player with a professional and approachable style

What’s in it for You?

• Basic salary up to £40,000
• Realistic OTE of £50,000
• Reduced targets during onboarding, ramping up as you settle in
• Exposure to large, national client accounts and strategic projects
• Supportive, collaborative team environment with clear growth plans
