Purpose

As an eCommerce Account Manager, you are responsible for managing client relationships and maximising the growth of Space 48’s clients.

Your key objective is to support the development and CX teams in providing clients with high levels of service that allow our clients to succeed.

Here’s how your week may look:

You will start your week by catching up on the weekly client strategy meetings with the other AM’s and leads within the team. You will also check in on client and internal team comms to see last week’s progress noting any major updates that you need to get involved with your clients.

In the afternoon, once confident that the team are all either working on what they should be or working with others to unblock a tricky problem. You take a moment to double-check your list before launching into your own tasks for the week.

Top of the list will be weekly BAU meetings with existing clients where you will catch up on activity, discuss updates in their business and discuss any actions that are sat with you from previous sessions.

On Tuesday you’ve set aside some time to work with the CX team on some ideas for the upcoming client roadmapping sessions for the coming month because you know that this will shape the next month(s) priorities for the team. You spend the rest of the day building the roadmap for the client session and sharing it internally with the project manager and dev squad.

On Wednesday, you have a new business pitch with your pitch team for a re-platform project where you will present some slides about Space 48 and ask questions about their business/project to learn more. You will be supported by the Strategy Director, Head OF CX design and a Tech Lead from the team to ensure we can answer any questions about our processes and client case studies.

In the afternoon you are sharing the Space 48 home and garden white paper with one of your clients to help them with their seasonal planning.

On Thursday, you will be running a client quarterly business review (QBR’s) with the Project Manager and the squad to run through the client’s commerce roadmap and find out more about the priorities over the next 3 months.

You also need to solve an issue with the project manager on a client around budgets and client expectations, once we have a solution you jump on a call with the eCommerce Manager to discuss the solutions.

On Friday, you have more BAU client meetings where you are gathering information about their marketing activities for Black Friday and what the potential impact might be on their eCommerce strategy.

In the afternoon you are on a 3rd party tech demo with Nosto and one of your clients, you are sitting in and listening to the partner explain why AI-Based Personalisation is good for the client’s brand.

...Oh, and you did all of this from your home with a team that is also working remotely in a business that trusts you to self motivate and proactively engage with the wider business and your customers.

If you read this and it sounds like your ideal job — we want you on the team!
