• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear business language.
• Experience managing enterprise accounts or similarly complex client portfolios.
• Proven experience managing SLAs, KPIs, and operational reporting in a client-facing role.
• Commercial awareness and experience managing project efficiency and margin.
• Proficiency in analysing and articulating service metrics, including uptime, MTTR, and data pipeline integrity.
• Experience with CRM tools (e.g. Salesforce) and operational reporting platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to identify data delivery risks and drive issues through to resolution.
• Ability to map statements of work to project delivery and successful data outcomes.
• Problem-solving mindset with a track record of escalation handling and cross-functional coordination.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate with development teams to ensure timely, accurate data delivery in line with SLAs and contractual commitments.

• Manage the full lifecycle of change requests, from scoping through to delivery and billing, in collaboration with AM and Sales teams.
• Oversee project margin and profitability, partnering with engineering to address operational inefficiencies and maintain visibility into expenditure trends.
• Serve as the single point of contact for a portfolio of 10–15 enterprise accounts, plus ad hoc management of smaller accounts.

• Act as the primary escalation point for service issues, representing client priorities internally and ensuring timely resolution.
• Ensure client expectations are clearly defined and consistently met across the full service lifecycle.

• Drive Zyte-side issues — including anti-ban, infrastructure, and SLA credits — through to resolution, keeping all relevant stakeholders informed.

• Translate technical performance data into clear, meaningful language for clients and stakeholders.
• Maintain up-to-date status tracking across all active engagements and provide leadership with regular visibility into risks and trends.
