Account Manager delivering compliant client solutions and portfolio growth through strategic relationship leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Account Manager known for solving complex client challenges through strategic communication, strong stakeholder engagement, and operational leadership. I currently manage a diverse portfolio of 150+ corporate clients, serving as their primary advisor across employee benefits.
In my role, I maintain up-to-date knowledge of Private Medical Insurance, Group Life Assurance, Group Income Protection, and Health Cash Plans, and I run proactive client check-ins with renewal reviews and market benchmarking. I negotiate terms between clients and insurance providers to secure competitive premiums, and I identify upselling and cross-selling opportunities to strengthen benefit packages and drive portfolio growth.
I’ve also built my success through compliance-focused client service, strictly adhering to FCA regulations and GDPR requirements to protect data and ensure trust. Previously, I’ve led business development and account growth in logistics and merchant services, and managed client portfolios at Barclaycard UK, collaborating across fraud, risk, and KYC to deliver seamless onboarding, timely issue resolution, and measurable retention.
