• Act as the day-to-day contact for assigned accounts, handling administrative tasks and responding to inbound requests. 

• Support the Account Director by managing quotes, RFIs/RFPs, and coordinating input from bids, overlay, and technical teams. 

• Build and maintain strong relationships with IT teams to establish trust and ensure high levels of customer satisfaction. 

• Identify and qualify new opportunities through regular client engagement and proactive communication. 

• Assist with the preparation of proposals, demos, and proofs of concept. 

• Ensure effective collaboration with internal teams and the Account Director to deliver a consistent and professional service. 

• Delegate or escalate client requests as appropriate to maintain smooth account operations.

• A workplace that takes wellbeing seriously: from mental health support and flexible working to active employee networks and a leadership team that listens. 

• A commitment to equity and inclusion: where we actively work to make Phoenix a brilliant place to build a career, whoever you are. 

• Work that matters: supporting the public sector organisations that keep the UK running, from government and healthcare to defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charities serving the most vulnerable in our communities. 

• Working with the best of the industry: alongside genuine experts, and with strategic partnerships across the world's leading technology providers, you'll be at the front of the conversations shaping how UK public services modernise.
