About the role

What You Will Do

As a Key Account Manager within the Sensormatic Solutions part of our business, you will own and grow a portfolio of strategic retail customers across the UK. Acting as a trusted partner, you will manage the full customer lifecycle with a strong focus on nurturing existing relationships, identifying upsell and cross‑sell opportunities, and driving long‑term retention and value.

You will play a key role in delivering sustainable revenue growth within the retail loss prevention and electronic security space.

How You Will Do It

You will build strong, long‑term relationships with key customer stakeholders, consultants, and systems integrators, developing a deep understanding of their operational challenges and commercial objectives.

Working closely with technical, pre‑sales, and delivery teams, you will design and present tailored security solutions aligned to customer needs. You will manage account plans, sales forecasts, and pipelines using CRM tools, monitor market and competitor trends, and represent the business at client meetings, industry events, and within our Retail Experience Centre (REC).

This is a hybrid role, with an office base in Solihull and an expectation to attend the office for sales meetings every Thursday.
