Singapore FASTMARKETS COMMODITIES (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD. Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

Job Description

The Strategic Account Manager is responsible for the organic growth of existing accounts with an average order value between £10,000 and £100,000 and a total book of business consisting of between 60-70 accounts. The role doesn't contain any new business but is expected to deliver growth on the existing book through effective data licencing, cross-selling and up-selling. A balanced approach to increasing spend and reducing churn is needed to be successful.

Fastmarkets is equally about sales performance and sales behaviours, and so how the business grows is as important as how much we grow. Key behaviours to achieving this include a proactive approach, requiring the successful candidate to consistently gain engagement from networks both within accounts and across the internal teams at Fastmarkets to deeply understand the challenges and opportunities faced by our clients. In addition, a customer-centric approach, active listening and first-class communication style are factors that will deliver success in the role.

The Strategic Account Manager will be working within markets that are seeing high levels of change and growth, due to various macro-economic drivers. A willingness to learn and be ready to have high level conversations with contacts of all levels, leading with insight and challenging thinking, will also be key factors.

The role sits within the EMEA Metals and Agriculture Strategic Accounts team. This is a dynamic and supportive team, with a strong emphasis on ongoing learning and coaching.
