• Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, positioning CreateFuture as a strategic partner across digital, data, and AI transformation initiatives.

• Have experience in account management, consultancy, or client services within a digital transformation consultancy or professional services environment. With a proven track record of growing accounts and driving measurable revenue expansion.
• Have experience within Financial Services or Payments (Would be an advantage).
• Have a strong commercial instinct with the ability to proactively identify, qualify, and close new opportunities within existing client portfolios.
• Are confident owning pipeline performance, forecasting accurately, and leading senior-level commercial conversations without oversight.
• Have credible understanding of AI, data, and modern digital technologies, with the ability to engage confidently with CTOs, CDOs, and senior business leaders.

• Have extensive experience delivering digital product and technology programmes, turning strong client outcomes into long-term commercial growth.
