About the Role

The Senior Client Manager owns a portfolio of mid and enterprise-level clients, delivering exceptional service and measurable outcomes. You'll be the day-to-day commercial lead for your accounts—driving retention, growth and satisfaction—while aligning with Utilizer's strategy and standards. Reporting to the Lead Client Manager, you'll collaborate across Corporate Accounts, Operations and Growth to ensure consistent, high-quality delivery. You will:

• Manage a defined portfolio of mid and enterprise accounts, with clear retention, growth and customer satisfaction targets.
• Lead quarterly business reviews, roadmap planning and executive updates; proactively surface risks/opportunities and escalate as appropriate to the Lead Client Manager.
• Coordinate internally to deliver agreed outcomes (tenders, analytics, reporting), ensuring timelines, quality and client expectations are met.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships (procurement, finance, sustainability leads), maintaining a trusted-advisor posture.
• Maintain CRM hygiene and forecasting; track pipeline, upsell/cross-sell motions and renewal milestones.
• Contribute feedback to improve our Client Management approach, tools and playbooks.

This is a collaborative, senior role working with some of our most valued clients alongside experienced energy professionals in an organisation that is scaling incredibly quickly.

About You

To succeed in this role, you're commercially savvy, client-centric and comfortable owning outcomes.

You're proactive, innovative and operate with a high degree of autonomy while knowing when to bring others in.
