This is truly an exciting time to join Quilter!

Our current focus is on expanding our market share in the IFA space, and this role is crucial to achieving that strategic goal. The purpose of this position is to support the growth of large strategic accounts, with direction provided by the Strategic Development Team (SDM).

This key role ensures we maximize the opportunities we've created.

You will be joining a highly successful team and will receive ample support to learn and develop in your role. During the recruitment process, you will have the opportunity to meet key members of the Distribution team. We foster a collaborative team approach and work closely with colleagues across Distribution, Operations, Marketing, and the rest of Quilter.

This role is based in our Southampton office and offers a hybrid schedule, providing the flexibility to work from home. While the primary focus will be on telephone and online interactions, there will also be opportunities to attend events, visit advice firms, and participate in team meetings as needed.

As a Telephone Account Manager (internally known as Wealth Sales Consultant - Strategic Accounts) at Quilter, you will play a pivotal role in the UK Platform Sales Distribution team. Your main responsibility will be to effectively manage a panel of strategically aligned accounts, maximising new business opportunities by marketing Quilter products and supporting company initiatives as directed by the Strategic Development Team.

You will enhance strategic relationships and support sales and marketing campaigns. Your success will be measured by the new business generated from your accounts and the efficiency and effectiveness of issue management and customer service.

You will develop a deep understanding of your panel, including their product mix and gaps, and identify key contacts within each account. Maintaining accurate management information in line with the centrally agreed distribution plan will be crucial.

Staying up to date on Quilter product developments and propositions, you will execute agreed marketing and sales campaigns with the goal of maximising returns and opportunities. Additionally, you will collaborate with colleagues, proactively suggesting ways to enhance returns.
