Permanent | Hybrid (Leicester-based)
£40,000 - £50,000 basic + 10% commission

Overview
An established and rapidly growing energy and utilities consultancy is expanding its corporate division and is now looking to appoint an experienced Corporate Business Relationship Manager.
This is a commercially focused role offering genuine ownership of client relationships, a strong support structure, and the opportunity to work with complex, high-value corporate energy portfolios. The successful candidate will play a key role in driving new revenue while strengthening long-term client partnerships.

The Role

This position sits at the heart of the business's corporate growth strategy. You'll be responsible for identifying new corporate opportunities, converting them into long-term clients, and managing a portfolio of existing accounts.
With internal teams supporting onboarding, reporting, and administration, your focus will be on client engagement, commercial strategy, and revenue growth rather than day-to-day processing.

What You'll Be Doing

• Identifying and securing new corporate clients using a consultative, relationship-led approach
• Managing and developing a portfolio of established corporate customers
• Leading strategic client conversations around energy procurement and utility services
• Reviewing meter data, capacity (kVA), and operator arrangements for new accounts
• Coordinating data collection and system integration with internal platforms
• Working closely with internal teams to ensure smooth onboarding and ongoing account support
• Maintaining accurate CRM records and tracking all commercial activity
• Producing meaningful client reports that demonstrate cost savings and performance improvements
• Ensuring compliance with internal standards and client requirements

What We're Looking For
You'll likely be someone who already operates comfortably in the corporate energy or utilities market and enjoys building long-term client relationships.

• Background in B2B energy sales or corporate account management
• Proven ability to win new business and manage a personal sales pipeline
• Experience handling large energy portfolios (circa 1GW+)
• Confident, professional communicator with strong stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable working to targets in a performance-driven environment
• Highly organised, self-sufficient, and commercially astute
• Strong IT skills, including CRM and MS Office tools
• Experience working with suppliers and third-party partners
• Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving capability
• Full UK driving licence (client visits required)

Package & Benefits

• £40,000 - £50,000 base salary
• 10% commission structure
• Annual salary review
• Performance-related incentives
• Early Friday finish
• 33 days of annual leave, including bank holidays
• Private healthcare option
• Regular team and social events
• Structured training and clear progression opportunities
