Functions
Account managers are a crucial part of the workforce, always working to ensure that the business is establishing and maintaining good relationships with its clients. They are also responsible for providing value to clients and seeking new business opportunities.
With tough competition from all sectors and an increasing demand to maintain strong customer relationships, it can be quite difficult to find talented account managers. However, our professional headhunters at Keller can help bridge that gap and connect clients with the best talents in the job market.
As a leading executive search firm, Keller covers all aspects of account management recruiting, including technical to client-facing leadership roles. Our search services place talents within all facets of the digital and emerging sectors.
Our search process is bespoke and is tailored to meet our clients’ hiring goals and business needs. Each candidate we supply to clients goes through a rigorous assessment that involves extensive background and reference checks as well as social reviews and police checks, where necessary.
Our approach to executive search is designed to include candidates of diverse backgrounds. We are committed to treating all talents fairly and without any biases in relation to their age, belief, ethnicity, and gender.
Account managers play a crucial role in ensuring customer satisfaction and are needed across a wide range of industries and sectors, including:
Backed by a proven track record in global account management recruiting, Keller partners with businesses of every size—from venture-backed start-ups to Fortune 500 enterprises—to build complete account management teams that boost revenue and strengthen customer retention. Our senior account management recruiters draw on over a decade of combined hands-on experience leading sales, business development, and customer success functions, giving us the practical insight to quickly identify, engage, and hire the exact talent each organization needs.
Because every client has unique needs and growth paths, we never confine our search to a predetermined list of job titles. We source candidates that align with what our client needs—whether it be a highly motivated self-starter to rescue critical relationships or key accounts, a data-savvy specialist in aligning sales, or a product talent who can help manage customer needs. This process ensures you are gaining top talent across every layer of account stewardship without signaling that your organization is limited to particular roles.
Part of what makes our methodology stand out is our commitment to presenting only the best. We combine deep industry mapping, behavioral interviewing, and rigorous reference checks to ensure the candidates we shortlist have the technical ability, commercial acumen, and cross-functional management skills to thrive in their positions and mentor high-performing sales teams.
When you partner with Keller, you are partnering with a group of professional headhunters with in-depth knowledge of the field, having previously worked in similar sectors. Our experience in the field allows us to fill roles in a short period and provide clients with guidance on engaging and retaining the most qualified candidates.
In addition, we have access to an extensive network of connections who can give us referrals and recommendations of candidates who may fit the role. We also conduct hundreds of cold calls and emails to connect with hard-to-reach candidates who may not be actively looking for new opportunities.
Our team of headhunters is dedicated to placing only the best talent for our clients. To ensure successful searches, we assess candidates for factors beyond their track record and skills, including personality, management style, motivational driver, work ethic, and cultural alignment.
Apart from our executive search services, we also offer a 180-day guarantee. If the hired executive fails to perform to client expectations within the first six months, we will redo the search at no additional cost to the client.
Keller is committed to assisting clients source for the best talents to fill their open account manager jobs.
