Cyber Security Account Manager
Up to £70,000 base + Double OTE
Hybrid (London / South East) | Cyber Security Services (MSSP)
If you’re a cyber Account Manager who enjoys growing relationships, not just managing renewals, and wants ownership that goes beyond a traditional “farmer” role, this one’s worth a look.
I’m hiring for a high-growth, PE-backed cyber security services provider (MSSP) with a clear remit: own and grow customer relationships, expand service adoption, and convert partner-, vendor-, and marketing-led new opportunities through a consultative, solutions-led sales approach.
This is an Account Manager role with genuine responsibility, blending account growth, expansion, and structured net-new opportunity conversion within an award-winning Microsoft and cyber-focused MSSP.
The role
You’ll take ownership of a portfolio of customers, responsible for retention, expansion, and long-term value creation, while also nurturing new opportunities introduced through partners, vendors, and inbound marketing.
This is not a pure renewals role. You’ll be trusted to build account plans, identify new use cases, expand service adoption, and develop relationships across multiple stakeholders, as well as progress warm new-logo opportunities through to first sale.
Key responsibilities (what you’ll actually do)
Account ownership and growth
* Own and develop a portfolio of enterprise and mid-market customers
* Land and expand accounts by converting initial engagements into multi-service, long-term relationships
* Build and execute account plans focused on retention, upsell, and cross-sell
* Grow ACV through renewals, service expansion, and deeper stakeholder engagement
Consultative cyber security sales
* Sell across a blended cyber security portfolio, including managed security services and professional services
* Lead outcome-focused conversations with senior stakeholders
* Position cyber solutions in the context of business risk, compliance, and resilience
* Act as a trusted commercial partner rather than a transactional seller
Net-new opportunity nurturing
* Progress warm new-logo opportunities generated via partners, vendors, and marketing
* Qualify, scope, and convert inbound opportunities through structured discovery
* Build early-stage relationships and take ownership through to first win
Partner, vendor and internal collaboration
* Work closely with Microsoft and cyber vendors, channel partners, and MSP relationships
* Collaborate with marketing, pre-sales, and delivery teams to progress opportunities
* Ensure opportunities are well qualified, commercially sound, and deliverable
What they’re looking for
* 3 to 6+ years’ experience in cyber security and/or Microsoft security sales or account management
* Proven experience managing and growing customer accounts within an MSSP, Microsoft Partner, or managed services environment
* Comfortable balancing account growth with partner-led and inbound new opportunity conversion, roughly 50/50
* Strong understanding of sales discipline, qualification, and forecasting
* Confident communicator with strong relationship-building skills
Cyber security sales experience would be a nice to have, including:
* Managed security services such as MDR and XDR
* Threat detection and response
* Identity and Access Management (IAM)
* Data governance and data security
* Ability to position solutions against business risk and measurable outcomes
Practical requirements
* Able to travel to London and/or Maidenhead HQ 3 to 4 times per month
* Comfortable working in a hybrid, relationship-led sales environment
