Commercial Account Manager

About Agentic Hire

Agentic Hire is a recruitment agency for Cheshire and the North West. We find the people; our clients run the business.

We're different on purpose: every CV is read in full by our own AI platform, shortlists land in days not weeks, and we charge a flat 8% of salary — any role, any level. No placement, no fee. Clients pay nothing until someone starts.

We're growing — expanding our team so we can take on more employer clients and keep the service sharp. This role sits at the heart of that growth.

The role

As Commercial Account Manager you'll own relationships with employer clients — winning new accounts, looking after the ones we have, and making sure vacancies turn into placements without the usual agency noise.

You'll be the commercial face of Agentic Hire: clear, proactive, and comfortable talking money, timelines, and hiring outcomes with business owners and hiring managers across the North West (and beyond).

This is a fully remote role working directly for Agentic Hire — not a client secondment. Hours are 37.5 per week, Monday to Friday, no weekends.

What you'll do

Win and grow employer accounts

• Prospect and open conversations with employers who have live or upcoming vacancies
• Explain the Agentic Hire proposition clearly: AI-read CVs, fast shortlists, flat 8%, no placement/no fee
• Convert interest into signed vacancies and retained client relationships
• Spot expansion opportunities inside existing accounts (extra roles, new sites, repeat hiring)

Own the client relationship

• Be the day-to-day commercial contact for your book of employer clients
• Agree what a great hire looks like, keep briefs tight, and keep clients updated without chasing
• Coordinate with the recruitment / platform side so shortlists, interviews, and offers move quickly
• Handle commercial conversations: fee confirmation, start dates, replacements, and account health

Drive revenue responsibly

• Hit activity and revenue targets for your patch / book
• Keep a clean pipeline: next actions, follow-ups, and realistic close dates
• Protect margin and brand — we sell a simple fee model; don't invent complexity
• Feedback wins, losses, and market intel so the product and messaging stay sharp

Represent the brand

• Write and speak in Agentic Hire's voice: plain English, no agency waffle
• Use email-first communication (calls when the client wants them)
• Uphold GDPR and confidentiality on every vacancy and candidate detail

What we're looking for

Must have

• Proven experience in a commercial / account management / business development role — ideally selling a service to UK employers (recruitment, HR services, B2B SaaS, professional services, or similar)
• Confidence owning a client book end-to-end: prospecting, closing, and retaining
• Strong written English — most of our client work runs by email
• Comfortable working fully remotely with discipline, prioritisation, and clear daily output
• Commercial judgement: you can talk salary, fees, and hiring urgency without fluff
• Right to work in the UK

Nice to have

• Recruitment agency, RPO, or talent-acquisition sales experience
• Existing relationships with Cheshire / North West employers
• Experience selling a clear, productised offer (fixed fee / subscription / platform) rather than bespoke project work
• Familiarity with CRM hygiene and pipeline reporting

You won't need

• To be based in an office
• Weekend or evening shifts
• Heavy cold-call volume as the only channel — we favour smart outbound + strong follow-through
