About the Role
As a Strategic Account Manager, you'll manage and grow a portfolio of Key & Strategic Accounts across our Hydrogen & Renewable Energy portfolio, maximising participation and spend through tailored value propositions and a consultative, value-based sales approach.
This role is an elevated strategic account position (not a "generic AM"), requiring the ability to identify, qualify and win new "bellwether" customers ("new bell" strategy) whose participation amplifies the broader ecosystem.
The portfolio is conference-led, so you'll confidently position a range of commercial solutions including conference/speaking and broader event opportunities.
The role is Sydney-based and sells into an Asia Pacific market (Australia plus wider APAC).
Reporting to our Group Sales Manager, this is a permanent full-time opportunity to be based in St. Leonards, Sydney with hybrid working available.
Responsibilities
* Key & Strategic Account Management – manage, develop, retain and grow assigned accounts; build and run account plans aligned to customer needs and buying cycles.
* New Bell Business Strategy – identify, qualify and secure new bellwether customers for each show in the portfolio.
* Consultative / Value-based Selling – lead strategic conversations with senior decision-makers and sell appropriate solutions aligned to objectives.
* Market & Industry Insight – use hydrogen/renewables ecosystem knowledge (including supply chain) to uncover and convert opportunities
* Pipeline, Forecasting & CRM Discipline – maintain accurate SFDC activity/opportunity updates and reporting.
* Systems & Tools – participate in tools such as GBS Sales, Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and other sales systems used by the business.
Requirements
* Hydrogen industry knowledge/experience strongly preferred; broader renewable energy or adjacent supply-chain industries considered.
* Track record in B2B sales/account management, including retention + new business development.
* Highly consultative style and strong value-based selling capability.
* Ability to build a strategy where landing a key client has an "amplification effect" (new bell / bellwether thinking).
* Strong presentation, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills (comfortable with C-suite/business owners).
* Structured, autonomous and self-motivated approach in a market that requires proactive hunting (not "handed leads").
