About the role

- Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across commodities trading, research, market data, risk and related functions.
- Identify opportunities to expand Kpler’s solutions across existing banking accounts and consistently meet or exceed annual growth targets.
- Develop a strong understanding of each client’s business, priorities and use of market intelligence and data.
- Ensure timely and thorough responses to client requests while maintaining a high standard of account management.
- Lead account planning, forecasting and multi-year growth strategies for key banking clients.
- Gather insights on client requirements, market developments, products and competitors to help inform Kpler’s commercial and product strategies.
- Maintain accurate CRM records, opportunity updates and achievable forecasts.
- Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product and other internal teams to support client retention and growth.
- Represent Kpler externally with professionalism, credibility and a strong understanding of the banking sector.
- Contribute to wider corporate projects and initiatives where required.
