About the role: Account manager
Account managers look after existing customers, making sure they are satisfied, renew their contracts and buy more over time. Key account managers handle the most important clients, often large retailers, distributors or corporate customers, and coordinate everything from pricing to delivery.
In the UAE, account management roles are common in FMCG and food distribution, where key accounts are the hypermarket and supermarket chains, as well as in technology and software, logistics, advertising and media, facilities management and B2B services. Agencies and consultancies also have client service or account director roles.
Employers value relationship skills, commercial negotiation and a good understanding of the client's business. Familiarity with UAE retail and distribution, trade marketing and CRM tools is a plus, and a driving licence is often needed to visit clients.
