Are you a relationship-driven commercial professional with a passion for the rail industry?
This is your chance to join a young, disruptive and forward-thinking private equity backed business at the forefront of low-emission rail technology.
We’re looking for a Key Account Manager to take charge of high-value relationships across the UK rail sector — driving leasing opportunities for state-of-the-art tri-mode locomotives that are redefining sustainable transport.
About the Role
This is a client-facing, commercially focused Key Account Manager role where you’ll manage a portfolio of key rail operator accounts.
Your job? To understand their fleet needs, negotiate leasing agreements, and ensure long-term value for both the client and the business.
You'll be a trusted partner to some of the biggest names in the rail industry, helping them transition to smarter, greener traction with innovative leasing solutions.
Key Responsibilities
* Manage and grow relationships with major rail operator clients across freight and passenger sectors.
* Identify new business opportunities within existing accounts and support lease contract negotiations.
* Act as the bridge between clients, engineering, commercial, and legal teams to deliver tailored leasing solutions.
* Monitor contract performance and ensure high levels of client satisfaction.
* Provide market insight to support pricing strategies, new offerings, and product positioning.
* Represent the company at industry events, exhibitions, and client meetings.
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in key account management, commercial leasing, or business development — ideally within the transport, rail, or asset finance sectors.
* Proven ability to manage complex client relationships and deliver against commercial targets.
* Strong understanding of leasing models, commercial contracts, and customer lifecycle management.
* Strategic thinker with strong interpersonal and negotiation skills.
* Confident communicator, able to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
* Background in rail, rolling stock, or large capital asset industries.
* Knowledge of tri-mode or low-emission locomotives.
Be the commercial voice our clients trust — and help lead the charge toward a greener rail future.
Apply now to join a company that’s transforming the UK’s rolling stock landscape.
